Crestview Elementary School

Horrible experience in every way Disrespectful and disgusting do not go

Hello! Former student here; This school did nothing when I told the administrative team I was getting bullied. The admins did absolutely nothing when I told them that I had gotten beat on the head by a girl (with her water bottle), that I got called names, and that people laughed at me all the time. Maybe the admins have changed since then though! I do not know, it has been about 4 years so... The teachers are extremely nice here though! Especially the 4th/5th grade teachers (in my experience.) They are always willing to help your child succeed, and will always make learning fun! I do suggest this school, you just have to check in with your child every once in a while to make sure they aren't getting bullied!

My experience with this school and its teachers Have been amazing. I wish my kids could have stayed to finish their whole elementary experience there!

In response to the review re; privilege. Our family of 4 (6th and 3rd grade) has had the privilege of attending Tuckahoe Elementary for several years standing now. My husband also attended this school 32 years ago. We in fact live on the “other side of Patterson” in a tiny 1230sq ft house and we do have immigrant neighbors and kids of lower socioeconomic standing, on our street. We’ve had opportunities to leave and move into a bigger place but we love the school so much, in the tiny house we stay. In the past few years, our school has worked very hard to understand the needs of everyone across the board. They have paid attention and given real consideration of what the way is and how to do it, in 2024. They have made great efforts to include everybody. I’ve noticed more the last two years, that there are so many more assignments and projects that have a global learning aspect and that’s just wonderful. We are global citizens. My son came home today showing me he had written Chinese Characters and their meanings. I’m half Korean so my kid studying Ancient China in 3rd grade is is so exciting to me. Which kids know what the character is for Love and can actually write it out? TES kids can! Recently there was a global quilt the kids did, where they were assigned a sheet of paper (quilt square) and they were to draw and color about their own family heritage and culture. And it was all put together like a quilt with everyone’s cultures joining each other. So sweet! I have been beyond impressed at how much TES has been teaching our kids about global citizenship! We are so super proud of our school! We also changed the TES mascot and it’s no longer an American Indian. We are one family and 5 houses. We are respectful, trustworthy, grateful, compassionate, courageous. Go TES! Go House Haathee! Any family would be very lucky to have an opportunity to attend this school. The Jones family loves TES. So much that this mom has forgone personal space just so we can be part of the school!

I went to this school in kindergarten-3rd grade and is was kinda bad, Considering the fact that a lot of people couldn't speak english there and has a 3/10 rating kinda adds up.-Epic Persony

As a parent of a student at this school, I feel it’s important to share an experience prospective families should consider. After raising a concern about a statement made to students regarding differential treatment, I observed a noticeable shift in how our family was engaged by administration. Rather than continuing to address the issue collaboratively, the process shifted toward financial matters. Expectations around outstanding balances were elevated within a compressed timeframe, despite previously communicated hardship and a history of working with the school to resolve balances over time. No clear or workable payment structure was presented during that period. Ultimately, this resulted in my children being unable to continue at the school. From my perspective, the underlying concern involving my son was not resolved, and the process became increasingly focused on financial obligations rather than a collaborative path forward.
