This is the worst school i have ever had the misfortune of sending my kids to! The kids (most of them) behave poorly and the teachers have no control over them. There are fistfights every day, and kids bring condoms in regularly. DO NOT send youre kids here.

I have 2 children that have been attending Crocker Farm for 3 years. My son's K and 1st grade teachers were excellent and very helpful to his development, but I can't say the same for his 3rd grade teachers or my any of my daughter's since she has been attending. There seems to be a lot of parent involvement because mother's don't work, or are available. For those of us that work full time though, there seems to be very little attempt by the teachers to accommodate. I think that the music and art program are wonderful, but academics seems to be lacking. I have found that my son who is intelligent doesn't gets his needs met, while my daughter who falls below average is focused on greatly with very little improvement. The most positive thing I can say is that the school is very diverse and celebrates that.

Many extracurriculars, lots of parent involvement. Academic programs tend to concentrate on bringing kids up to average and very little is given to the top students.

Do not recommend to anyone. Misrepresentation of information and not providing important information to the parents on continuing basis in order for school to have a better reputation. Very hard to deal with school administrators who are overpowering and intidmidating the teachers! This was my nightmare.
