After moving around the county a few times we have expierienced 4 different elementaries and crownhill is by far superior. Love the teachers, love the dedication to the children's success and love the support I see from other parents. This school seems very engaged with the students, from the principal to the front office staff.

I have had three childrent go all the way through Crownhill. Each child has different learning styles and different personalities. The staff, principal, and parents work together to provide a welcoming, productive and positive enviroment for children to succeed and excel.

My childrens teachers are great. They have gotten them to learn in a way that other teachers havent been able to. The only concern I have is the principal. She is not very friendly and shows little compassion to the situations in the childrens lives.

We have been a part of this school for the past 5 years. I have three children in the school right now. The school has a wonderful CHAMP program to reconize the kids for following school rules and being great role model for their friends. I have always had great communication with all the teachers and staff. It is a great school...

The school was ok I guess. Manners and rules are not really inforced. Kids interupt teachers while you are standing there having a conversation and instead of teachers TEACHING them not to interupt, they ignore them. Our teacher was not the best at communication and the rest of the place just seemed like they didn't really care. Picking kids up is a nightmare with kids running all over the place because when the bell rings... the kids RUN and I mean RUN inside and out. I wouldn't choose this school again I do know that.

I transferred my children to Crownhill School and I will be the first to tell anyone that this school and its staff is the best I have ever met. I am very proud to be a parent of my children and we want the best there is for them. I believe that the school is the best ever.

About the tests


In 2011-2012 Washington used the Measurements of Student Progress (MSP) to test students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8, in writing in grades 4 and 7, and in science in grades 5 and 8. The MSP is a standards-based test, which means it measures how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of Washington. The goal is for all students to score at or above the state standard.
