This review is solely towards Summer School at this school. This summer, I wanted to enroll my child into their summer school because my child goes to a different school and this school offered the Summer School for reading. The communication with the school is terrible. It took days for me to just

Posted by a parent on 1/9/2025This school and at least 1 other nearby have a bad bullying problem.

Posted by a parent on 11/5/2018This school is an experience not just an environment. We moved our boys to this school last year and have nothing negative to say.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe love Crosby! The teachers genuinely care about their students, and my daughter’s teacher always keeps me informed about her progress and we have never had any issues with any teacher. The office staff is friendly, attentive and helpful. The principal is engaging, kind, and always involved in creating a positive school environment. Mrs Bailey or Mrs Long literally drive to your students house to present a certificate and yard sign if your child is student of the month. I love that! One of the things I appreciate most is the warm and welcoming atmosphere—there is always a principal or teacher at the door greeting the kids with smiles and hugs. The school also has a great behavior reward system that encourages positive actions, and they offer a variety of after-school clubs and activities to keep students engaged. Most importantly, my child feels safe and happy here, which means the world to me as a parent.Parent Review1y ago - Griffin Elementary School
