Crowley High School

The staff in this School help you a lot & most of the teachers are nice & do their best to help students that need more help.

My husband, sister in law, 2 sisters and all 3 of my children have graduated from Crowley High School. All graduated with honors and scholarships. My personal experience was with the Band and Tennis team as all 3 of my children were in both activities. I would rate the overall school a 4 (Above Average) and I would rate the Band, Band instructors, Tennis and the Tennis coach Above Average (4-5) as the coaches and the instructors are highly committed to these activities and assist the children in excelling. They are very friendly, compassionate, and approachable, whether you are a student or a parent. The majority of the teachers are also the same; very friendly, compassionate, and approachable. I have dealt with the school as a whole for years now and I honestly wouldnt send my children anywhere else. The Crowley Community welcomes all school activities and the school is very community oriented.

The last several years have been particularly stressful on every teacher at Crowley. The school is on its third principal in three years and there have been layoffs for two consecutive years. Despite the uncertain environment they work in, the teachers at Crowley consistently display how much they love and care for the children enrolled there. They are willing to meet students for extra tutoring before school starts and after it ends. They grade papers late in the evening and on weekends. They attend the sporting events, plays, concerts and academic competitions of their students after hours and on weekends. They attend professional development courses during summer vacation. They cry when their students hug them goodbye at the end of every year.

I do not recommend this school. The counselors do not seem to care about the students or even returning calls to the parents. I have had contact with one teacher and have no idea who any of my daughters teachers are and they don't seem to care about staying in contact with the parents. The students are not taught basic things like respect and manners. The students run this school, not the adults.

The Teacher seem to be there to get a paycheck but that attitude may be fostered by the fact that the administration form the Board on down has no idea what they are doing. Never have I seen an organization so out of touch and bogged down. The decision making process for the administration is not based on logic but money and very little practicality.

Crowley High School is a great school. The thing I most remember is that is offered a variety of extracurricular activites/electives to choose from. Also, the teachers were excellent.

I am currently going to CHS the school is a realy great school but there are a few flaws i think that the dress code is a little to up tight. the teachers need to be chosen a little better but other than that i give it an avrage rateing

Two of my children went to this school and they both loved it and I have one daughter in the school at the moment in 10th grade. Both of my older children were accepted into TCU. They are still friends with the people who met there, which I am very happy about. The only problem I had with the school was that the book, there weren't always enough for each student. My daughter was involved with many after school activitys .Overall I was very pleased with there experence there.

I think that the school needs improvement. I've been a student here for the past three years and am still waiting for it to get better. Granted the dresscode was a good idea, they still need to be pickier with who they choose as teachers, and the teachers need better qualifications to be able to actually teach their subject.

I graduated from Crowley High School a few years ago and I have siblings still at Crowley High School. My experience there was excellent, and I was definitley prepared for college. I received a first-rate education and wouldn't have changed anything. The teachers and administration at CHS provide a broad range of academic learning experiences and extracurricular involvement. Academically speaking, CHS is as good as anywhere. An education at CHS is a 'real-life' experience--if you try and give it your best, you will do well. If you choose not to work, you will fail. I'm proud to be a graduate of CHS.
