Crestwood Community Middle School

I'm an educator here at Crestwood and have been for the past 11 years. We have a family here that cares about kids and wants them to do well. The problems I have with education come from the county and state level, not our principal. I'm impressed enough with our teachers, my own children come here rather than attending the middle school by our house. For the negative reviews, I would say to consider the source. People are very willing to complain, but not to compliment.

I thought of relocating but this school among others in palm beach have everything so private I can not see if this is a good school or what it looks like and edline is to private how is anyone supposed to see where to place there children. Only if you are living there, but not fare to those having to relocate for work. I don't know where to place my kids!

My daughter has gone here one year. Teachers were always available to talk to and she was happy. I have never had a serious issue. A couple of time grades were reported wrong on Edline. I e-mailed the teacher, my daughter showed the teacher her paper and the grade was changed. So, I would recommend to keep up with your chlid's grades on Edline. Each teacher has over 130 kids, so mistakes can be made, teachers are only human. Crestwood was again an A, so the previous person did not get it right.

I was a 6th grader here and it was horrible. i was on the trailblazer team and some of my teachers were HORRIBLE ! Mrs.Baker was really nice but sometimes raised her voice but only when kids were being disrespectful.Mr Inzerillo was nice but he reitired and we got Mr Thornton the WORST TEACHER EVER! I had and A in history but since Mr.Thornton came i had a D ! People would make fun of me right near him and he would say NOTHING . Mr.Jenness I think is kind of bipolar sometimes he's fun and cool but other times he's a jerk! Ms. Romero was nice but kinda strict and sassy. Mrs. Ward was really nice though. Anyways i wouldnt recommend Crestwod to many students because the bullying rate is high and some of the teachers are just jerks. and the food is DISGUSTINGG ! the taco meat iis tan and looks like it could make a person sick so i wouldnt reccommend toeat it.

I feel this school is terrible. My child has been bullied several times involved in altercations starting in the classroom where are the teachers they don"t seem to care. Then resulting in altercations outside where are the teachers, and staff. This school is discusting and very dissapointing. Iagree they are rude and liars that want to seem as if thier school is A rated wonderful, but for the children that go there it is not safe and not a good leaning expierance. I wish for my child to go somewhere else anywhere but crestwood, WOULD NOT RECOMEND THIS SCHOOL TO ANYONE!!!

I have to agree with the last two posts, Crestwood was a A school for a very long time. My oldest daughter went there is 2003 to 2006, and I could not say enough good things about it at that time. I now have my last child in this school, this has been the worst year for her, the teachers don't care about the students. The students pay the price for bad teachers. Mrs Bakers, Mr Jenns, Who I beileve are the Trailblasers team, are the worst. I now also heard that they are busing kids in from Belle Glade. Good bye to the A school, I think they are now a B, but I only see it going down from there. I really wish I could change my daughters school, we are now thinking about homeschooling her. Just to get her out of that school.

okay , well to start with all the kids and teachers call it "cwood" all the kids think they are ghetto . the teachers are rude i was there for 6th and half of 7th , this school is very herific . the girls are very rude and they start drama because of jelousy , most of the boys try to get in troble because it makes them cooler to everyone around them and the staff isnt good ethier . DO NOT GO TO CREST WOOD MIDDLE!

The teachers are wonderful!!! Really care about the students!!!

We have teachers that want to help kids be better than they think that they can be!! We have been an A rated school in Palm Beach County for 10 years which puts on the bottom for upgrades in buildings, supplies, and technology. If we were an F school we would have already had a new building and AC system that today rarely works. We have limited and old computers even though the county says that they are encouraging us to ready the students for the 21st century. We are over-comers and continue to find success on standardized testing even amongst any trial or tribulation that may come our way!!
