I have a first grade child attending CHEMS. I am a teacher myself, and am mindful of everything I see in my child's classroom. As my child entered 1st grade I was/am absolutely AMAZED at the amount of worksheets the children are expected to complete. I remember the 'old' way of teaching when 6-7 worksheets a day were the norm. Things have changed. No, things have 'evolved' since then. No longer do theorists believe students need 'busy work' to achieve in literacy or math. It's a different world and Crystal Hill is lacking in meeting that evolution. I hope they will broaden their mindset and begin to see instruction as life-long learning. NOT test scores and worksheets! My friends have taken students out of CHEMS, but I plan on sticking around in hope of being an advocate for children. I am not known to be quiet when it comes to education.

I am so proud of our school and the staff. This year has been a year of adversity, first losing teachers due to lower enroolment and then the children had to be relocated so repairs could be made to the building. Our teachers and administrators as well as support staff handled this transition so well, it was seamless. My son and his peers have continued learning and achieving at the same high level and this impressed me very much. it is obvious that the well being and education of our children is top priority and I commend all that work in this school.

I had two children at Crystal Hill last year. I ended up pulling both of them from the school due to a serious lack of real learning. Everything was a memorizing type of learning. There were never ever any type of school projects that went along with the lessons that they were learning. There wasn't any tutoring available from the school, only from individual teachers that wanted to be paid to remain after school. The administration seemed to only want to please their supervisors, instead of having a real connection with the parents. My youngest child on the other hand had a great teacher who ended up leaving to another school. There are not any extra curricular activities or organizations that the children could engage in. I do not reccomend this school. An elementary school has to be more than just about test scores.
