We have recently moved here from FL and my son loves this school. They do a lot of sports after school and the curriculum is just the right amount of rigor. He does not get hours of homework a night just maybe an assignment a night. This school has made my son much more confident in school. Thanks c
Posted by a parent on 1/21/2026My very smart and above average daughter went to this so called ‘school’ for her junior year, and it has been by far the worst school i’ve ever taken my children to. She was put in the r.e.a.c.h program because or her academics, she had a 3.29 GPA when she attended Cross, but now has a 3.14 GPA afte
Posted by a parent on 6/8/2021Really poor. I'm very disappointed. Due to moving a lot my child has had to attend several different schools and this one has been by far the first when it comes to meeting special educational needs.
Posted by a parent on 12/19/2019Both of my children have attended Cross Middle School and have had great experiences. We started out within the boundary and after moving, chose to open enroll. I have always been impressed with the range of classes offered that address leaning needs on all levels of the spectrum. The teachers at Cr
Posted by a parent on 1/30/2019Open enrolling my son at Cross was phenomenal for him. He has been able to be challenged in the gifted (REACH) program, take higher level mathematics (Algebra I), be a part of the school community (after-school tutoring), play in the jazz band, and participate in Odyssey of the Mind and Future Probl

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy granddaughter, now in 2nd grade, has gone to Donaldson since arriving 3 months into the school year during kindergarten. She was not kindergarten ready when she arrived, but the school put together an excellent plan, lots of resources, and great staff and within 2-3 months she had caught up with her peers and went on to have an outstanding school year. There is a lot of team spirit at Donaldson and I have found ALL the staff - from the lunchroom to the office to the classroom to be excellent and very dedicated to providing the best possible environment for their children. I don't know why it only gets 5 out of 10 in this rating system. I would put them at a 9!Parent Review5y ago - Winifred Harelson Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHarelson is a fantastic school choice, with just the right mix of oversight, rigor, extra-curricular activities, and absolute love for the kids as a whole. In my experience, my daughter had fantastic teachers the entire time she was there and was more than prepared to transition to middle school. Its really nice that the middle school is right next door, so as the kids grow they have opportunity to interact (at times) with the other campus and mentor students to see their progression. Harelson is great at encouraging character growth, kindness, and responsibility through positive reinforcement. However, they are well equipped to handle issues as they arise and they do a great job. The principal is very professional, highly involved, and easy to talk to, as he should be. He has a great rapport with the teachers and students.Parent Review4y ago - Canyon Del Oro High School

Would’ve liked to see more homework, parent opportunities to volunteer especially in the older grades and in the special needs classroom.Parent Review4y ago - St. Odilia Catholic School
