I came to the school with negative perceptions from previous reviews, but after talking to the principal I decided to enroll my kids there. I do not regret it. the teachers are dedicated and management do their best for the best interest of my kids. they communicate with me and try to engage students in several ways.

My child loves coming to school! The teachers and staff are caring and make my child feel welcomed. Homework is relevant and well balanced. Communication is great whether it is through Class Dojo, Parent Square or in person. I feel confident my child will have fun, be safe and learn in an engaging environment.

I would rate JC Crumpton a 7/10. The teaching staff is great and the kids in my daughter’s class seem to be well behaved, but my daughter does tell me that other kids that she plays with during recess can be nice one day and mean the next day depending on who they are hanging out with.

Overall there are positives in that it seems academically the school has been improving as of late but it needs to work on developing a positive culture within the school and outside. There are also some safety issues that involve multiple entryways with adults only assigned to the main entrance at times. The community seems safe but it’s better to be proactive than reactive to the development of an action or event that can result in a student becoming unsafe. Please, assign an adult to each of the entrances so that the school is aware of who enters and exists the school at all times. It would also be great if the students were greeted by the principal or vice principal as they walk into the school. This would give them an opportunity to meet the parents of their students and establish a positive and direct connection with the community they serve. The school has many positive things going for it such as the many events and fundraisers that provide a great experience for the school, parents, and students.

great staff and leadership, one gripe is that the afterschool district sponsored program seems to be a "gray area" as to who makes it on the list.

I am so grateful that my daughter attends this school. The positive energy on campus is contagious. Kids learn through games and hands on activities. My daughter has also enjoyed having art and music teachers.

We are so grateful to be a part of this community. The principal has a beautiful vision for the school. She is upbeat and easy to talk to. My daughter's kindergarten teacher is kind and experienced. The class does creative projects, and my daughter has made strong academic progress. Overall, the school offers a warm and nurturing environment where all children are encouraged and valued.

It really is one of the worst schools my kids have gone to in a long time. The principal is completely disconnected from the students. I went with an organization to help in the garden, nor the parents or principal came to help with their school compared to every other school. The principal and patterns always came out to help. The principal, also brings her new born to school wth her which i think is not really right. The school does a very terrible job exciting the kids about reading or learning in general.

I attended the Holiday Concert this evening to see the children sing. I did not see the children due to numerous parents standing in the front and middle aisle. I am disgusted with the behavior of a number of parents at JCCrumpton. Between standing in front of others, talking during the concert and walking around it was a terrible situation. The children sat on the floor in the middle of a group of parents struggling to find a seat. Someone stepped on my granddaughter s hand and she was crying when I could get to her. This is a repeat of the spring concert last year, when the parents trampled some of the kindergarteners to get pictures of their own. The principal and staff did nothing to control the crowd.
