Number 11, Cruise Memorial Elementary School

The teachers are nice and it is a very fun school with plenty of freedom.

The teachers kids got away with being the bullies of the classroom and if the other students fight back or speak out the will get detention and the bullies got away with name calling and cursing. Some teachers were sincere and really cared that was a handful, others weren't and played favorites especially if the students were a teachers/ staff member children/child. The food was not good at all they rubbed the kids money. The Principal was very unfair and unjustly.

Collegiate is a family run school that doesn't care about education. The curriculums and textbooks are years behind. Students aren't prepared according to the current educational standards for their grade level. Older students spend half the time lounging around and aren't prepared well for a life beyond high school. The school doesn't care about prepping its students to get into college and succeeding there. The current headmaster received her job from her mother who was the headmaster before her. She now employs her daughters, family friends, and college students who have little to no teaching experience as teachers. Private schools should have knowledgeable and experienced teachers and good resources for classes and extracurriculars. They should be places that guides your children as they grow into young adults. This school is more like a baby sitting service. Don't waste your money there.

I went to school here in the mid-nineties, and graduated 8th grade with honors. This school really prepared us for high school, so much so that everyone that I went to school with got placed in advanced/honors classes in HS. I can't say enough what an amazing and wonderful experience it was to go to this school. I'm heart broken that it closed. I would've loved for my children to have gone here.

Most teachers are not interested in trying different methods or finding effective ways of helping students engage or process information. The selection of teachers recruited at the school is poor and the material provided is very basic.
