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.
