We have had nothing but wonderful, positive experiences at CES. The teachers we have been blessed to have are incredibly strong and dedicated. I work in the school system myself and have been nothing but impressed by how CES relates to kids and families. I won't want to move simply because I love this school so much!

I have three children at this school in 5th, 2nd and 1st, and each of them have had terrific experiences. The teachers and staff go to great lengths to educate our children and go the extra mile. We have had weekend conversations with teachers and seen them at multiple after school activities. The PTA is active and strong. Great events such as Monster Mash, Holiday parade, field trips to Arlington Echo and Annapolis and a great strings and band faculty. I'm not sure how anyone could rate this school lower than good or great. I suspect the issue would lie more with the parent/child than the school.

My experience at Crofton Elem. has been good. They are very close in my book to being great. I think that a few things that I mention up above just need to be address to make it better. But the office staff and its teachers are good so far. AND MOST IMPORTANTLY! the PTA is well involved and support the community with fundraising events.

Excellent facility, great teachers and a very involved principal. I've found teachers to be very approachable and very responsive.

The teacher of my daughter doesn't know how to differentiate. My daughter regressed from being an honor roll to a C student. Parent communication was poor. Had couple of conference with the principal and the teacher but nothing was done. Teacher uses "one size fits all" approached and never believed nor developed the potentials of my daughter. We have to move to another rental home just to get away from this school.

Been very pleased with the school's administration, teachers and community. Good communication with teachers whether in person or via email. Great parent participation in school from both working parents and at home parents. LOTS of opportunities to get involved. Daughter has attended here past 2 1/2 years (K-2) and has excelled in every area. CES knows KIDS:)

I have two children at CES. They love their school experience. This is their second academic year and it didn't take long for them to adjust. My chlidren participate in the various activities. Children are encouraged to write a book every year with Paw Printers which is outstanding. The staff from the nurses office to the front office are very welcoming and ready to help. I have been very impressed the the teaching staff and administrative staff.

AWFUL. Moved here SPECIFICALLY for the schools. Used the ratings on THIS website as basis for our decision. Wish we'd never, ever moved here. Teacher is incompetent, ill equipped to deal with a child who is borderline ADD. Has my child singled out as a failure. We check our child's homework every night. Teacher frequently marks my child's work wrong when it isn't - sometimes there's more than 1 correct answer. If it isn't in teacher's answer key,. it's wrong. No exceptions. What does that teach a child? *Most* of the front office staff: bitter, judgemental, RUDE. Always so very rude. Crime is abundant. Do your homework. Google is your friend. I have a child in another school nearby, and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about it. Have a great relationship with the principal, the teachers - even the office ladies. I *know* it isn't just me.
