Crossland High School

Crossland is absolutely the worst school I've ever been to and I've been to a lot of schools. The teachers have no idea what they're doing and the ones that do are stuck with students who dont care about their grades. All you hear is cussing and people copying other people's work. The principle and his vice are so unqualitified to be there. They suspend students for literally nothing and do nothing to inform the parents of it. I think they like to pick on students to be honest. they think every little thing you do requires a break from attending. They are truly just an uncaring school. I cant wait to leave.

Administration does not welcome parent involvement and shows very little concern for the students.

I am currently a student at Crossland. I am in 11th grade. It's the first for Crossland. I have to start off by saying Crossland is not that bad of a school in my opinion, but the teachers do show major signs of favoritism, they will call your parents and reword and rethink their attitude before they call your parents. In class they may yell at you but while speaking to your parents they change it around to, 'We just want the best for you.' So I have to say, parents, I do understand we children will be bad, we act up, we talk back, we're teenagers, you did the same thing when you were young. But when your back in a corner with your teacher pointing at you and your parent is there to give the teacher a helping hand to come down on you with. It doesn't help!

I agree with you an that end. It is frustrating trying to get someone to be responsible.

this school is terrible. Im a former student of this school and it wasnt of satisfactory. when i needed help to graduate on time, i was given random electives and not the couses i need . i ended up failing and not graduationg with my friends. the teachers seemed to have more attittudes than the teenagers. I only learned enough for a basic education, but more could have been taught.

This school is terrible. At first I didn't believe my child when he said the teachers don't care and I saw if for myself. I tried to communicate with his teachers and their attitude was I don't care if he pass my class or not. I'm moving to another county so I can transfer him to a better school.

I transferred my daughter from Virginia school system to Crossland and let me be the first to say that I'm making it my mission to get her out of there. The staff is non-responsive with a non-chalant attitude. They do no wrong but preach on the website that communication has proven to be their greatest asset. Well as a parent who have tried to gather information RE: my daughter from teachers and even the principal, this asset has not been demonstrated. As a parent, if I'm frustrated with the 1/2 response I'm getting from the administrators, I can't imagine how the students feel. Remember, these are the individuals who are preparing our children for the future.

I think Crossland High School is just a place where kids go to pass the day away. The teachers never get back to you or the administrators. You have to send a series of emails call several times and even go up there to get a simple answer from someone. They have a new computer grading system this year and none of the teachers act like they understand how to use it so therefore the students suffer with incorrect grades or no grades at all. I wish my kids did not have to attend this school, but unfortunately it is the school for our district, but I would not reccommend it to anyone. All the administrators even the Principal are lazy. I just hope my kids are able to graduate on time and get the heck out of there.

Crossland has a high percentil of teachers who would rather been know for the power they have over the kids rather than be know for the extrodnary difference he or she makes in a students life, others are known for just existing, don't notice me I won't notice you syndrom. At what point are we as adults, parents, teachers, administrators etc. that kids need us to be real in there lives, they need us to lead by example not by your power to be a leader; big deal, learn to share of a leaders heart; teach of a leaders knowledge. Think a little more of the children that are in your reach everyday and find it in you means to make a difference in there lives.
