Caring teachers who teach to the WHOLE child.

I have been fairly pleased with this school and how they have helped to help me have my daughter tested for her learning disabilities. They have worked with me to my satisfaction. I wish they had more extra curricular activities for the kids but I realize that's just also a funding issue. The staff puts on holiday activities as much and as best as they can.

Very dissatisfied with the principal they have now I don't like the way she treats kids answers them like they are nobody important. This school has lost so many wonderful teachers and none will hesitate to say its because the way she treats them sad to say. I hear parents complain all the time and its unfortunate because we all loved this school at some point we attended here and so did our family. Hopefully soon there will be a change

My name is Mary Cisneros and I am the principal of Golfcrest Elementary. This is my second year at the school. The Golfcrest Staff is extrememly dedicated to providing a safe learning environment for the students. Teachers arrive early, stay late and work on Saturdays and Sundays. Many teachers provide their personal cell phone numbers to ensure parents and students are able to reach them. We have after school programs on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday of every week. We also provide Saturday tutorials. I am very proud of my teachers and students. Visit our website or come by the school to see for yourself. I would love to show you around the campus and tell you personlly about the wonderful things going on.

Great school!!!!!! And now exemplary, but it will be better if they hada extracurricular activities like maybe sports music or something else for the extended day students. I wish some day we can get the Magnet Program as well.
