I really love Crocker Elementary for my second grader! The school offers great programs, including an after-school program that’s been a huge help for us as working parents. I also appreciate the way they support all learning levels, whether it’s gifted programs, extra reading, or math support, everything feels thoughtfully tailored to each child’s needs. It’s been a great experience all around!

We were excited to move here from a state where my children had 44 kids in their classroom. To come to a school where they aren't always 44 kids in a grade we were hopeful for more one on one interaction with the teachers. Overall, the teachers are good teachers. I'm not confident in stating that I believe many are there for any reason other than to collect a paycheck, but there are those handful that you know truly care. My biggest complaints would be with the lack of a gifted/accelerated learning environment and with bullying issues. Being an "outsider" in most everyone's eyes has not always made it easy for my jr high aged child. Unfortunately have a staff and administration that have not been educated on what to look for, or how to handle issues with bullying has my child no where to turn (other than us of course). I would like to see the school take a more pro active approach at knowing their students and being more engaged with them. This is our second school year here and they didn't know we were a military family until recently.
