My daughter has participated in the dual language program at Crestridge Elementary since kindergarten, and she is now in 5th grade. Her educational experience has been exceptional, and she's benefited from becoming fluent in Spanish while building skills and knowledge in several cultures. We would not trade her broad exposure and opportunity to learn from others - Crestridge provides a unique, multicultural experience that is comprehensive and delivered by dedicated staff.

Crestridge is an amazing place where students can learn about other cultures, other languages, along with learning traditional curriculum. I have two kids who attend and we are so thankful for Crestridge!

The state of NE has yet to adopt common core. My daughter's academic skills grow daily and are beyond common core expectations. The principal and current teachers have been flexible and excited about providing differentiation to help her continue to advance her skills above and beyond grade level.

Crestridge is amazing. My two children spend half of their day learning in Spanish and the other half in English. The school is internationally minded and has amazing families. The principal is new this year and she is fantastic. I would highly recommend this school. Public education at its finest. Crestridge has won the Magnet schools highest national award many times. As a former elementary teacher I chose for my own children to attend this school out of all of the schools in Omaha.

My experience, I hate to say, is that most of the staff is young, inexperienced and ineffective. Some kids just coast right through school- and if yours is one of those you will be fine.( most girls fall in this category) Boys however, I have seen that teachers feel they have their hands tied, and many won't take any action in trying to maintain a classroom. The classes are too big and therefore I feel instruction is inadequate- and Quite Frankly the principal is a sweet woman, but I feel is an ineffective leader just waiting to retire. And the classrooms are overcrowded
