I am currently a senior here at Crestwood. I am happy to be a knight. I think this school is really great. It is also fun to be at. Most of the teachers are really nice, and sometimes some of them don't teach us, but otherwise, it's okay. C-wood won against Sumter High 30-27. Whoo!!! I don't really like

Crestwood is not the best school but it is better than most.Our athletic and art programs are great, as well as our academic programs.People may think that all Crestwood has to offer are fights and 'gang-related' activities but thats not true.Sometimes the classrooms get out of hand and a little out

Man, C~Wood is off the chain...So much stuff happens there it any't funny. Yes fights over the stupidest stuff happens. But that happens anywhere.

As a parent of a high school student who does well despite the ridiculous rules and the disparate way administrators enforce their policies. There are teachers & administrators who take advantage of their authority. Teachers are not held accountable for their actions in fact adminstrators will try
... Read more to make the parent beleive all is the student's fault. When parents try to be involved and ask questions.....teachers act like they don't know what to do.....and again blame the student for their inability to control the classroom. Most teachers don't establish themselves in the class before they begin laughing and joking with the students. Then their surprised when some students don't listen to them or disrupt the class. Teachers need to first teach, establish themselves as a trustworthy, fair and just authoritarian, and set some realstic boundries. Read less

I am currently a senior at this school, I transferred here starting my sophomore year, so I've had time to get to know the delicate inner workings. the majority of my peers are ridiculously undisciplined. fights over the stupidest things occur on a daily basis. students do not respect good teachers
... Read more or bad teachers so it's really hard to tell where the line between the two is.mine and other students attempts to learn are prevented by antics of the majority of our classmates. the school has a few saving graces for sure, the JROTC program is a must for students seeking to better themselves, their involvement in charity work under the Colonel is truely great. The school also participates in the Sumter County Career Center, which is a fantastic way for students who have their minds set on a career path to work on them. I don't know any people who are expelled so people coming back isn't something I'm familiar with. alot of the schools basic problems stem from their severe financial shortcomings. the ban on high sugar sodas and snacks in the vending machines has made this problem worse, and the prices in the machines were raised in addition to that. The staff tries to be helpful despite the ridiculous rules set in place, and the school places the priority of the 'student ID' cards displayed on every students neck, above anything else. a student without the id is forced to miss 10-20 minutes of class standing in line to pay a dollar for a temporary one. but note that these IDs do absolutely nothing of any value, except stop people from sneaking into our school. it's a school that tries hard, but lacks sufficient funds and has screwed up priorities.

This school is not a good school. The teachers don't care, the parents don't care and the teachers let student pass by doing almost nothing.

Crestwood is an overall good school that could be better if parents gave their children some home training. The teachers are ok, some care about their students more than others but overall they are ok. The major problem with the school is the disipline that could be resolved with more parental involvement.

As a former student at Crestwood, I and not some parent who only sees the bad in this school know the real facts. Yes, there are problems with behavior at this school and mabye the school (and the district for that matter) are not doing enough about this problem. But just for one minute, instead of

I was raised just fine and by graduation I recieved a 4.2 GPA and was top 10 in my class. As for the school in general, Crestwood provides the best education that they can (with all sorts of monetary restrictions on them). The teachers are great, there are tons of extracurricular activities to get involved with and the arts and athletics are getting better. Read less

Crestwood High School is a rural school with inner city problems when it comes to student behavior. This is my son's junior year and I still go sit in classrooms and see students being completely disruptive and rude to teachers and administrators. There are always fight going on at the school, the school

Students who are expelled are only expelled for a year and they are allowed to return, normally with worst attitudes than when they left. Teachers cannot teach students who are there to really get an education because they constantly have to discipline or ask students to sit down, be quiet or have major issues maintaining control of their classrooms.
