You get out what YOU are willing to put in in any area of education! We can place blame on the school system for only so much of what the kids are not willing to do or study. Rough Home lives? Working families that are unable to assist our kids? Learning issues? Attention deficit? Crestwood high school has tremendous strength in building children that will be buildable! We spent nearly $500 a month in private schools with no help for a learning delay in my son’s ability to retain information! He was belittled in private school by teachers and students! We switched over to Crestwood and children introduced themselves to my son, treated him like a friend on the first day! There is more government money available for public school and they are providing tutoring, IEP, 504 Plans put in place! The teachers build my son every day along with the other students at Crestwood! And it’s all for free! Wow. Like I said you get out what you want to put in!

This school is below standard because the teachers can't get along long enough to teach the students. The principal (now former principal) was very rude, played teachers against each other and treated her staff crudely. She also allowed the teachers to be disrespected by the students and did not respond appropriately to many students being written up due to her being friends with the family, being related to the student and her not wanting her school to appear problematic. I am hoping that with new leadership there will be an end to these problems.
