9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageCMHS is a wonderful school with hard-working educators. They have Dual enrollment courses, AP Classes, a great sports team, including e-sports, and math team. People complain of fights, and this school has decrease in fights over the past 15 years. Over the past few years, they have brought in metal detectors along with a Strong focus on Security, where they collaborate with local law enforcement. We have a Superintendent who has brought a focus on collaboration within the community, and she has worked with her team to bring our buildings into the 21st Century with Smart lines in every classroom, Smart STEM Labs in our elementary schools. We are currently building new turf baseball and football fields. I am a long-standing Crete Resident. I have been around for more than 30 years. I choose to live here because I love my community.Parent Review10mo ago - Crete-Monee Middle School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAt this school there is foul language used everyday. The lunches are not healthy. There is a fight between students almost every week. The students talk back to the teachers. Don't go to this school unless you think your child is brave enough to to go here.Student Review2mo ago
