I attended Crest High School all 4 of my academic high school career. They have excellent teachers and staff. They take every precaution and step to ensure their students are safe and cared for. They encourage students to take CTE courses and motivate them to be their best academically in standard classes. We were always pushed to be our best and encouraged to take more advanced classes when we were achieving better grades/ready for it. So very glad that my three brothers and I could attend, and graduate from, Crest High.

If you want your kids to go to a school where the teachers treat them like their a human being then I wouldn't go to crest middle/high school.The teachers here are disrespectful, they literally will harass you, following you around. most of the time they won't let you use the bathroom, i think its stupid because if someone has to use the bathroom let them go, why tell them no.The lunch here isn't good and most of the time it's not even done. They got us eating uncooked pizza, and these burgers aren't even real, so basically they are starving us,the chicken don't even be done.the current principle here is disrespectful, weird, takes stress out on and if you don't talk to him he will literally follow you around or call the police or someone to get you all because you didn't want to be bothered. it's unfair plus you can't trust any teacher. Most of them you can't even tell if they are cool people or perverts. These teachers don't care for their students, they just do what they do to get paid. That's why school is like it is because they don't care. if i was a teacher, I would be a teacher for the students, help them out no matter what. Because I've been there I know how kids are,scared to ask for help you know what i'm saying. These types of teachers are the type to not see both sides and not try to get an understanding whatever you say they take disrespectfully regardless. i can't even talk to the person i wanna talk to in the office because the weird principal thinks he has to be in everyone's business or when i tell him i'm going to wait to talk to someone he goes to them and tell the what he said to me like i understand your the boss of the other people but that doesn't mean literally try to run everybody.Honestly this has been going on for years but this my last year in this school an ima be straight up i feel like i cant even make it and it's not even the work that's the thing it's the PEOPLE!!!!.every time something happened or went wrong or someone got disrespectful even when i wasn't being or when they can write you up for anything even when u didn't do it. I went to the office each time gave a whole speech each time asking if they can talk to their crew ”teachers” because all they do is see us as a kid and not for what we are n how our mindset is, believe it or not everybody goes thru things and yes age tells you what you are but the mindset, and personality explains even better and that's the problem with these teachers and people in general.

A wonderful school. The most desirable and best high School in Cleveland County. Some of the best teachers that really praise the students.

This school is a good school. The teachers that my children have had have helped them in every way. They have gone from c an d to honor classes.

The teacher staff is amazing but the principal picks and chooses the students he interacts with. He treats the students that are less then High class as if they don't exist

Horrible school mostly because of the new principal. No idea how he has a job with the things he does like spending thousands on new office designs when that money could go to the kids or the teachers.
