I’m in my final year as a Crest View parent, and my (very different) children have attended the school since 2018. We initially chose Crest View because it’s our neighborhood school and raised no obvious red flags. I’m a very protective mother, and had I known some of the challenges my children would face, I might have hesitated. But if I had, my kids would have missed out on an incredible community and truly meaningful foundational experiences.Crest View has genuine socioeconomic diversity- some students live in $10 million homes, while others are homeless- and the staff works hard to ensure every child is seen. Challenging situations happen, but the school addresses them thoughtfully, creating opportunities for families to talk, reflect, and grow together.Because of the cohort they grew up with at Crest View, my children are more resilient, less anxious, and more compassionate than I am. They learned academically (the curriculum is set by BVSD, so there’s less variation than people think, but they also gained unexpected and invaluable soft skills. I will always be grateful for the loving, attentive teachers and for the experience Crest View gave my children.
