First Crossing

Disappointing...I had heard great things about this school upon moving to the area. We had a great experience in preschool where I think the school really shines. However, in the K-5 grades it leaves something to be desired and can be seen in the schools population drop off where the classes go from full preschool down to as little as 3 kids in upper grades. There is high teacher turn over which is a huge red flag and the administration is very disorganized. There are severe communication issues and the teachers are given no autonomy in their own classrooms. I heard that 3 or 4 years ago it was the place to send your kids if you wanted a non-religious private school option. I hate to write an unfavorable review, but the school's philosophy is hit or miss depending on the class/grade/teacher, and is not what it used to be, according to multiple longtime parents I consulted with before leaving the school. Unfortunately, we made the difficult choice to remove our child from the school along with a multitude of other families at the time who were also dissatisfied. Again, preschool seems to be the area of best practice for this school and I would send my child there again for that age-group as there are several fantastic preschool teachers.

Very dissatisfied, the front office receptionist is not friendly at all. Working at school should be very welcoming to all parents and students.
