Crosby-Ironton Secondary

I graduated from CI back before the teacher's strike and the old JH was torn down and replaced by this monstrosity. Back then I would have given the school and the teachers great reviews. Now as an adult with children attending both CRES and CIHS I've got to say how disappointed I am. Children with learning disabilities absolutely fall through the cracks or get labeled trouble makers. I have a straight A student who's labeled because he's apparently "rude" to the lunch lady-no other explanation given. I have a straight F student who was supposed to test at the beginning of the year to see if he needed a para-that never happened- he's a smart kid and his teachers have written him off since he was in kindergarten because he isn't as verbal as other kids. Once the teachers/administrators write off a kid there's very little hope for them in this town- and it's a shame.

This school continues to grow and change with the needs of its community and student enrollment. I am a third generation alum and currently have three children enrolled both at the secondary and elementary schools. I would highly recommend this district as a place for your student to get a competitive education and have a chance to stand out due to the small town setting and class sizes.

We are new to the area and the school. So far we have been very pleased with the teachers and community members welcoming us! We feel our childeren are getting a great education.

My children have done very well at C-I. Alot of it depends on your attitude going in. My son will graduate with 30 college credits and he strives to be successful. Every school has its ups and downs. I am personally satisfied and am proud of our academics and athletics and music programs.
