Teachers and counselors are very attentive and caring.

I’m giving a four at this point since we are only one semester into our son’s freshman year, during COVID none the less. So far we are impressed in the following areas:Leadership:The Principal, Lyn Bair and the Vice Principal, Zoe Stern, have been incredibly approachable, share strong experience, seem well respected by their staff and open to ideas. They have recruited qualified teachers, counselors & staff. Teachers:We have been delighted with the educators our son has been fortunate to experience, even given the shifting between in person & remote learning. Report card comments clearly indicated they knew our son including strengths & areas of challenge that they will work on together. They have responded within 24 hours anytime I have reached out. Culture:Like any school experience the friendships really matter. We are fortunate our son has kind, driven & responsible friends. I know many of his classmates & I find them respectful and kind. Part of the reason we chose this traditional high school is because of the cultural/racial/economic mix which is reflective of the community. The type of diverse environment he is unlikely to have in college. Another strength which doesn’t necessarily show up in the Great School scores is the number of students who have received full scholarships to colleges and universities both in-state and across the nation. One recent year there were 6 students in a class of 100. A remarkable percentage for any school. Extra-curricular:As a small school of approximately 400 students, The options can be limiting depending on interest. However, because of it’s size & teacher commitment, other parents have indicated students have had the opportunity to take the lead to create new clubs with teacher guidance. Any sports not offered at the school can be enjoyed at other schools in the district. Overall we feel welcomed as a family and see a deep commitment to the students. We are looking forward to the 3.5 more years. The ratings below are based on our short experience and some areas we have yet to know enough to adequately rate.

We couldn't be happier with our experience at CRES. I'm thankful every day that this is the school I chose for my children. The teachers pour their hearts into the students. Don't let this score fool you. Our school has special circumstances and that's part of what I love about sending my children here. The teachers, support staff, outdoor grounds, enrichment programs, parent involvement and passion for our children in our diverse community is what makes this school so amazing! My kids love learning and feel loved here.
