I have great memories of Crestline! They established a fresh air and forward thinking method of teaching that really allowed us to advance at our own rate of learning, and it made learning fun! This was back in the late 1960-70's, btw. I hope my favorite elementary school is still being a wonderful memory for the new generations!

Staff is not professional. They make poor excuses on why they allow bullying to exist on their watch. I would STRONGLY suggest homeschool or inner district transfer if Crestline is the school your kids have to be in. There are some staff that truly care for your kids but a majority of staff even contributes to bullying students as well.

My kids & those of several of my friends/family attend/attended this school. Many have transferred to other schools or like myself, have decided to home school based on experiences there. Many situations are handled inappropriately & complaints to district more than once were answered with "Well, they might need more training in that area." Policies are overlooked when convenient & strictly adhered to other times. My son was being physically bullied & the principal's response was "Maybe he should get counseling that would teach him to not make himself a target for bullies." No action was taken against the kid who stabbed my child's arm with a pencil, threw rocks at him, punched his stomach & the back of his head in line & alienated him from playing with other kids. Without permission, the principal had a meeting with my son & the bullies which further intimidated my child. I was told that "Boys will be boys." Paperwork, absent notifications, & emergency contact info was mishandled. Often, they had no record of my child being at school & I had to correct their mistakes. If you can't overlook low test scores & don't have time to do their jobs than send your kid to another school.
