I went to Crossler Middle School all three years of middle school, and heres what I have to say. Overall, the learning is average. I feel like it depends how easy the students pick up on the material, but I feel like I learned a lot. And all of the teachers are so great! And the counseling department is so wonderful. Whenever I had a issue, my counselor would always find a time to meet with me. And dont get me started on the specail education program. It is fantastic! I worked as a peer mentor in this school unified PE program for two years and it has heavily expacted me. Ive learned to see people as they are and it overall has helped become a more rounded and helpful person. We also go on fieldtrips playing basketball or kickball and those are so fun! Its so fun to meet other kids from different schools and hear their stories!! The safety is also very well too. Over my three years at Crossler, there had only been one real lockdown drill which eventually we found out was some students making a fake threat, but they practice every diaster you could have once a month, so we were all very prepared. And there is rarely any fights. And this school very much does enagage families. Theirs concerts, sports game, avid night if your in avid, student of the month breakfast, back to school night and so much more. If your thinking about moving to South Salem have you kid go to Crossler. It was a amazing experience.

This is a messed up school system creating lies saying I was a victim of sexual assault when I wasn’t and took the only good person in my life away from me. ZEROOOO STARSS

My son has attended BCE for two years now and it’s been a wonderful experience. My boy is very bright and capable but has a hard time focusing. He is getting everything he needs here and he has really soared academically and socially. His previous school was a nightmare and I am so grateful to be in this school’s district. The staff remembers everyone and they are so supportive of our students. They really care about their relationships with the kids and they have family involved events that are always a blast. My son is happy and his self confidence has gone from 0-100, now that he has educators dedicated to their students, and has made the progress needed with the things he struggled with. They even handle conflict between students in a way that provides them with the opportunity to practice important life skills for communication and problem solving, amongst peers. Im hoping to have an experience as positive as this one, with his middle school next year. I really can’t sing the praises of Battle Creek enough.
