I attended Crandall High School, and overall it was a good experience. There were a lot of cliques, but you can expect that at any school. The education I got, I believe was the best I could have possibly recieved. They get an A from me in that department.

Crandall has to be the worst school I have ever let my child attend.

Crandall High School is an excellent school. The teachers are very supportive and really care about the kids. It doesn't offer quite as many elective classes as larger schools, but still a great experience.

About the tests
