School sucks everyone is trash everyone here is not funny and boring

Crystal Lake Middle School really needs to do better with the front office. Every time I call or come in, the office ladies sound sleepy, annoyed, and like they’d rather still be in bed than helping parents or students. There’s no warmth, no welcome, and no professionalism. When you’re the first people we deal with at the school, your attitude matters, and it’s honestly very disappointing.

i am so grateful to this school and everything they have done to ensure my child’s success. he was at a different school last year and really struggled. in the beginning of the year i had a meeting with his teacher and guidance counselor at the time to go over some accommodations that could potentially help him, but there was never any follow up or communication as his grades and behavior continued to plummet. after moving to the area i enrolled my son into highlands grove, and oh my gosh what a difference this school has made. i had the same kind of meeting with his current teachers and guidance counselor as i did at his previous school, only this time everyone was very receptive and actually willing to listen to what i had to say. not only did they listen, but they made a genuine effort to see what works for him and make those small changes which ended up making such a huge difference. his behavior is better than it has ever been, and he even made the A+ honor roll on his most recent report card!!this school has truly been an absolute blessing in more ways than one.
