crossroads is the greatist school ever! if i wouldnt have had the prilage to go here than i would be a drop out.... i hated everysecond i was in burleson high school! the teachers are lousy... their all there for mony and money only! they dont care about their students... they just ant their paycheck... crossroads teachers actualy get to know their students individualy.. yea they like getting paid but they go way beyond work stuff to help you graduate.. there the most amazing teachers iv ever met... im so glad that they are in my life. ask anyone whos graduated from here or still goes here .. they witll tell you the same thing if not more.... crossroads is great i wouldnt change schools for the world.... if someone offerd me a billion dallers to go back to burleson highschool i would gladly and proudly decline! thats how great this school is.... most teachers and ppl think this school ifs all fun and games but in all honesty its just that we are all treated with the respect we deserve plus we teach our selfs witch helps us actualy learn are matereal as well.... its not really all fun and games it just seems like that because everyone that comes here actualy enjoys comming here...

I would not have graduated high school if I would not have attended this school. the teachers are amazing people who are really there to help you and not just there as an obligation. This school is amazing!

Crossroads offers opportunity for students who are unable to handle the stresses of Burleson High School and enables students to reach their full potential by great leadership.

Without Cross Roads and possibly the help of others, our nephew definately wouldn't be on his way to graduating, thank you for caring and giving him a 2nd chance. Without the program and assistance from teachers, we wouldn't have seen the positive change in him we have seen today..

I think Crossroads is a wonderful learning enviroment. We truly believe that our son would not have graduated from high school had it not been for the caring teaches at Crossroads. They recognized that he is very intelligent and gave him the encouragement he needed. I have nothing but good to say about Crossroads and it's excellent teachers.
