J. C. Crumpton Elementary School

I attended the Holiday Concert this evening to see the children sing. I did not see the children due to numerous parents standing in the front and middle aisle. I am disgusted with the behavior of a number of parents at JCCrumpton. Between standing in front of others, talking during the concert and walking around it was a terrible situation. The children sat on the floor in the middle of a group of parents struggling to find a seat. Someone stepped on my granddaughter s hand and she was crying when I could get to her. This is a repeat of the spring concert last year, when the parents trampled some of the kindergarteners to get pictures of their own. The principal and staff did nothing to control the crowd.

I do not have major complaints about the education. I do think they can assign more homework. My child is in 4th grade. The teachers and staff, however, are great! That is why we love JC Crumpton.

Crumpton is al about the kids and work hard with what they are given. The students, parents and teachers have great rapport with each other and are working toward the same goals. Getting a great education for the children. We have a great staff, especially our Principal and secretary. If you must attend this school get ready to be very happy there.

Both of my children attend J.C Crumpton, they feel safe and get along with everyone. The staff is fabulous! I'm very glad to see that it's still the same from when I attended at J.C Crumpton. I would highly recommend J.C Crumpton to anyone who is new to the area with children in elementary school.

Two of my children have attended Crumpton since kindergarten thru 5th and one is still attending for 2 more years. The quality of their education has been outstanding. Teachers are dedicated and work many hours to prepare their lessons. This is one school who still attends science camp, who celebrate Multicultural day and have a wonderful Promotion Ceremony for their 5th graders. The parent involvment in the school is very low but the small amount of parents who are involved seem to bring many great things to the school. Some examples are the educational field trips, and assmeblies. Marina City has many programs. If your looking for sports Crumpton does not offer these but the city does and at a low price.

My child is very happy at J.C. Crumpton. The school atmosphere is very welcoming to parents and students. The teachers and support staff really try to reach out to everyone. My child is doing very well and loves to come to school in the a.m. The new after school program is excellent. My daughter comes home everday with her homework complete. And...the 5th grade students are being offered instrumental music for the first time. Three cheers for Crumpton.

I love Crumpton. The principal teachers and staff work together to create a great school. My son has been treated with the greatest of respect and kindness even though at times he can be a little challenging. The school secretary is to notch. She always greets everyone with a smile that encourages me as a parent to enter the school office. The principal knows all the students and is highly visible and accessible to parents.

Crumpton has high quality teachers and a well run academic schedule. A music program has been added which the kids really enjoy. The principal is great and well liked.

I love Crumpton Elementary. It is a hidden secret in Marina California. The teachers are highly skilled in the art of reaching all types of learners. The principal is always around throughout the day. We have more than 22 languages in our school. I love the diversity and the respect that everyone shows one another.
