Crossroads Elementary School

The office staff and principal are hostile to parents that ask questions. They are rude and disrespectful. If you raise questions or go to the district about their behavior don't because they will take it out in your child and yell at you as if your a 3rd grader.

Beware!!!! Unpleasant experience with administrators. I spoke with Mary, the principal regarding the bullying that occurs in her school. Be very mindful of her behavior. As a principal, consistently being a role model for children, her conduct is unacceptable and extremely unprofessional. Not only is she unwilling to help, but she lacks in empathy and urgency. She consistently spoke over us, disregarded our concerns, and hung up the phone call when the conversation escalated. Definitely not what I would expect from someone with a position of authority. Unsure if she is overwhelmed with the tasks on her plate, but after speaking with others parents I have reason to believe this is a consistent thing. I am awaiting a call back from the district to address this (March 2025) and have began the process of filing a complaint. I am extremely concerned about the type of role models the children of Mary Anne Sanders are exposed to, and I am very disappointed.In addition, during our exchange, Mary Smyth made a remark and I quote “well this is a public school”. I am unsure what this means, as public or private school does not determine the level of care or education a child receives. Every child is entitled to a safe environment to learn and respect from his or her peers. Major red flags all around. Not sure who employs these people from the district but they are incompetent to say the least. Overall, poor professionalism and inability to handle conflict on her behalf. I would think twice about trusting my children with these people!

The school has been amazing my son is part of the RAME (language program) and he's doing amazing. The teachers are loving as so patient and are very good at communicating in the moment when support from the parents are needed. I don't know enough about special education to rate it

I love this school so much and I miss it every day

I loathe just about everything at this school. The teacher's are nice! However, they do NOT care about the safety of all students. Student's are a dollar sign to them. They get paid by the Feds for every student in attendance. This is why they do not follow their and or the district's policies, procedures and rules. Kids are being physically assaulted by other students and with no consequences. When a student is suspended more than three times, they are to be expelled. Since they would lose money, they allow that student to stay in school to continue his abuse on others. They also will perform medical tests without your permission. Even after being aware there is a letter on file that states no permission is granted for any tests. They have no qualms about medically assaulting your child. There is no respect for the parents. Everyone in the front office including the Principal should be fired.
