6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageEveryday my little sister sends me a message, on her break or her lunch wishing one of the teachers would help her and no one does, She said they move to fast and won’t answer her questions, she’s failing because of this! And one thing i always tell her students don’t fail, the teaches fail the students! I know a lot of students failing because of this school and not helping, I’ve went here and was failing too, it wasn’t until I switched schools to where they worked with you that I actually passed, this school made me believe I wouldn’t make it, and now their doing the same to my little sister, How Dare You make children believe they can’t make it, that their not smart enough!Other Review7y ago - Homestead Hills Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAll three of my children attended Crystal Lake Elementary. The teachers are caring and through three different principals, I have always felt that my kids got a great education. All three have different learning styles but all found success and are all A students in Middle School and High School today. Crystal Lake is a small town community school that gives families a great school experience.Parent Review6y ago
