This school is absolutely worthless, the faculty stands by as students get bullied and do nothing to help the situation. My son was being bullied last year and constantly being attacked verbally, one student attempted to fight my son and my son defended himself and ended up beating the kid up, guess who was suspended, if you guessed the bully who initiated the fight, you guessed wrong. They need to find new faculty members that actually care about the kids more than the paychecks

Overall, I give Crestview High School a 10/10. The student atmosphere is fantastic and there is something for everyone to do.

-10 I wish I did more research on the school district and how many kids have been arrested at this school as we would have moved to another town. Since moving here in 2018, my child has had to attend counseling.

First year for my kids at this school, they like it so far. Seems a bit crowded to me.

They say with new Leadership comes change and I find that to be true at Crestview High. Principal Day and his staff are dedicated to the students and their futures. Principal Day and his staff are available at anytime to answer questions and help when needed. I was thrilled when Principal Day hired Coach Gibson and Coach Arnett to take over the Softball Program. Both Coach Gibson and Coach Arnett are dedicated to making the Softball program a success and helping the girls to the next level. Both Coaches care about all the girls they are coaching. Coach Gibson and Coach Arnett are working very hard to bring the Softball program back to the level it should be. We are looking forward to an awesome year next year - It can only get better. Principal Day, Coach Gibson and Coach Arnett keep doing the Great job you are doing. Future looks Bright at Crestview High School.

My daughter tried out and made softball. It's apparent that about 4 girls only made the team in order to gain $520 per child to be on the team. My straight A student is having trouble keeping her grades up. I'm seriously considering homeschooling.

Fights, fights, fights daily, it is a great school however some of the kids here need to be sent off. It's quite unbearable here for me honestly because of just this. Most teachers here are great, they communicate with the students a lot with the exception of the few who just get up and teach until the day is finally over. Great school, so-so community (students). Also the U.S. really needs to change the buses here.

My daughter went to Crestview High school and i can say its a great school. They have the CHOICE program and this year they just added cosmetology, they several other options too. There athletics are great. Academics are Amazing, all the teachers care and if they have a failing grade they will notify you if you let them know that you want them too. The principal is great too. The ESE program is wonderful. It does have crowded hallways but my Daughter could get from on end of the school to the other and be to class on time! Discipline is very high too.

I am a Freshman at Crestview High School and entering this school from the local middle school was a shock! The students at CHS are out of control and fights happen all the time, right in the middle of the halls! The school is unsanitary and old and many of the bathrooms are so repulsive I do not even want to use them. The school is definitely overcrowded and class sizes are very large. On a positive note, most of the teachers and staff are very helpful and informative, but some are clearly only at the school for their paycheck. The principal is helpful, the staff in the office try to help, but they often do not know the answers to your questions. Overall, Crestview is a great school from an academic standpoint, but something needs to be done about the fights, vandalized desks and lockers, corrupt students, and sanitation.

It's is the worse school that my son attended. He received very little help from his teachers and the guidance councilor is rude and got annoyed when ask for advice or help. This school may be good for children that are advanced but not for any student that needs extra attention or below average! Don't be fooled by the "A+" school.... It's not, only on paper!!! I felt as though the school is more concern about the fcat scores than what the children are really processing and learning,

Ok school. There is a certain science teacher in 9th grade that brings it down. Certain teachers needs to go.
