Crocker Arts and Technology School

Not really sure why anyone would have anything negative to say about Crocker School. My daughter has attended Crocker since 2008 as a pre kindergarten student. She is now in second grade. She was reading at the end ok Kindergarten which was a plus for me. In addition she has been exposed to ballet and violin classes which are all free. Yes the teachers and staff are stern I'm glad about that. I love the small setting, dedicated teacher and administrators that go beyond the call of duty! They are a God send! I love Crocker School and am very upset they only go up to 5th grade!

This school is not a place you want your children. I am a teacher at this school and am leaving because of the principal and vice principal's treatment of students. They yell in their faces, they bop them on the head, they flick their ears. Teacher who are treated well are the ones who yell and put children in dark closets. The principal thinks those things are praises teachers who do that because kids 'need to be knocked around'. Do not send your children to this school.

This school is a joke. There is no consistent discipline policy for students and what little there was was done away with due to the ineptitude of a few select teachers. Also, I have seen the admins yelling at students. Additionally, the administrators have (at least according to their certification credentials) very little teaching experience. From what I understand there is also very little support for teachers outside of the "leadership" team. The overall climate at this school is not a positive one. My children will not be attending after this year.

Crocker Arts and Technology School has been a wonderful experience for my child through 2009-2010 school years. The Principal, Staff and Teachers have done an exceptional job to help my child excel in education as well as the Staff being so family orientated this experience is a plus. This school provides arts and technology with the curriculum and my child is doing well and love it. Each student receives their own personal computers for in school use only, which this helps enhances through swifter learning skills. My child will return for the 2010-2011 school years. Thanks Crocker Team for a job well done so far. I m sure there are more adventures to come.
