Crescent Academy is a good school. I have a third grader that has been there since Kindergarten. She is doing exceptionally well and is prepare to move on to the forth grade in the fall 2011. What distrub me is Principal talking to children and parents inappropriate, and lunch room staff member saying inappropriate things to children. When called out about it they lie and Principal defend them. I am parent that all for discipline as long as it is fair and most time it is not. Another concern why is it they always focus on the older children far as after school programs like drama classes,basketball , cheerleading. Why not the smaller children? I read in a review that parent had concern about the school charging for every little thing. I had concern as well, when I purchased a gym uniform for my daughter which is tiny, and they only had a medium the principal told me to pin it up. I am paying my money to the school I expect the correct size. Other then that School is ran excellent with the help of Dean lett and Mr Bazzi. Good Job to the both of them.

This is my son's first year at Crescent and it is a WONDERFUL school. The kids get breakfast to start their day and the teachers are so friendly and stay on top of communication with parents. My son came home the other day talking about how they are using computers and LCD screens as learning tools. This is GREAT! I personally got to meet the principal of the school who has an "open door policy" and loves parents to come and keep in contact with the schoo and the teachers. They also offered to take my son for Saturday School for free to get extra help on his homework or if he is behind. What school does that? This is a GREAT school and I highly recommend it for parents.

this year is my childrens first yr @ this school & with the experience so far,it is not a good school,they expelled my daughter for her behavior,they claim they sent 14 letters home & i never recieved them come to find out my daughter was signing my signature,but @ what point was the principal ever going too call me,should have known i wasnt just signing & never making any comments,also another thing i dont like is the school charge for everything,$25 per child for a gym uniform,$5 for a locker,$5 for a journal etc everything has a price on it,one of my daughters has scoliosis & had a doctors note saying she cant lift the text books &she need a 2nd set of text books some for home &some for class,the school couldnt offer that 2 my daughter saying they didnt have enough books,still sent my daughter home daily with her rolling book bag that felt like bricks was in it,i must say that that is horrible that crescent didnt care about my daughters disability,when she just had a spinal fusion posterior surgery aug,8,2010.

I am very please with Crescent Academy. My daughter has gone there since kindergarten, and still there as a second grader. The teacher there Ms. Flangin, Ms. Quinnlan and Ms. Chadwick excellent Elementary school teachers. My daughter is very structured and always willing to learn something new. However, there is always areas in improving in finding after school activities for the younger children verses the older children.

Our six-grader Daughter, enjoys the freedom of choice. We allow her to pick and choose as she makes good choices, she has demonstrated responsibility in her decisions. Making (Pizza) & Tomatoes) are Vegetables came from USDA. Freedom of Choice.

No. I prepare my son's lunch just about every day due to his special needs so I know what he is consuming both for him and his class. I want to be aware of all ingredients in all foods/drinks which he is consuming.

If it is to keep allergic kids safe, then no. A strict rule of no peanuts or pb&j should be enough. My child's school had a peanut free table for double insurance. If for "nutritional" reasons, then NO! Since when is pizza a veggie????... More »
