Crutcho Elementary School

The staff at Crutcho is 100 percent dedicated to the success of the students. I am a parent of a pre-K student and she has had a fantastic first year of school at Crutcho.

This continues to be a hidden gem of public education. The staff is excellent; delights in interaction with pupils and parents. The only thing lacking at Crutcho is parental involvement which would be applauded and celebrated by administration, staff and teachers. There is some improvement in this area however there is a large base of community volunteer involvement from area churches that is very helpful. There is not a school that I would want my 4 children in -in this economy and world.

I love Crutcho School because they love all children. Each school year they get several students from local schools in the surrounding area . I know they make that experience very easy for all of the children.

I am a member of the Crutcho community, and am proud to belong here. Our studentts are open and loving, our teachers really care about each and every child, and our administrators are focused on improvement every single day. Our support staff is the best; they are as professional a group as I've ever worked with. Every day I go to school wondering how I can better serve my students and their families. I don't want to fail them, because they believe in me! At Crutcho, we strive for success, 'No Excuses, No Exceptions!'

I have been here at Crutcho for 5 years now after leaving to go to another district in the cit. i was here for 4 years before and i would just like to say that our school has made tremendous gian over the last 5 years and we strive to offer the best education and emotinal care to our kids. Our staff has and continues to receive the highest levels of training in ares of math and reading and our test scores have increased by leaps and bounds as well. We offer after school programs until 4:00 3 to 4 days a week. Our community involment is picking up but we still need to have a greater parent base to help with the everchanging need of our kids and community. Please become involved with your childs school and help to bring our community together.

I have worked at Crutcho for the past two years. I have seen many positive changes in the two years that I have been there. The administration actually cares about every student, parent, and employee at the school. In my eight years of teaching, I have never worked for such dedicated, caring people. I have heard many horror stories about how things 'once were', but I can assure you that things are nothing like they used to be. This is the 'New, Improved Crutcho' with dedicated, well-educated, competent teachers. I would let any of the teachers here teach my own children.

Crutcho is doing amazing things to make the educational, social, and emotional needs a first priority. The behaviors of the past are now diminishing and more positive ones are taking their place. Teachers really care and go out of their way to teach skills their students can carry into the future.
