Crossroads School is an excellent alternative for children with unique learning styles who struggle to succeed in a traditional public school setting. The staff work very hard to foster a love of learning and are enthusiastic about the students' education, as well as fulfilling their emotional and spiritual needs. They understand all children are different...not just in the way they learn...but each personality is unique and the staff are flexible and take good care in managing challenges the children face. The small class sizes allow the teachers to give more focus to each child and provide an individualized curriculum based on how they learn. My 10 year old son now enjoys going to school and his self confidence has improved. Academically, he is making progress. I highly recommend Crossroads to any parent who is in search of a school for their child with a family oriented and well rounded environment.

Crossroads school has been a Godsend to my son and our family. The principal and teachers have knowledge and understanding to the children that have problems in public schools. My son looks forward to going to school every day and even on the weekends he will ask to go to school. He has his self esteem back and the confidence back that was lost. He takes pride in his report cards now because he gets all A's!

This school has truly made a remarkable come back from last year! The new director is a wonderful lady with a big heart for all of the students who walk through the door. The teacher's are all very intune with the children's needs and they all prove their worth by each and every child who walks through the doors smiling. These children are not just excited about school, they seem to truly want to be there! Congratulations to the entire team at Crossroads! They have done an AMAZING job!

Crossroads is such a great school! I walk my son in every day and he just smiles. The principal knows every child by name and they all love her! This is a great place to put your child if they have learning difficulties or problems. The staff really understands how to help.

Crossroads has changed everything for my daughter. The teacher knows what she needs and is able to give it to her. She was failing in public school. Now she feels confident! Thank you, Crossroads

There is a new director this year, and she is fantastic! My child's teacher is trained in ABA, and even the assistant is working on a Master's degree. The school has really improved! The environment is warm and the kids are really learning already, and it's only the first week!!

The environment was not controlled. Out of date and no school books were supplied. Poor standard of graduating to next grade.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
