I had two students who went to Crestwood my oldest was bullied the entire time she was there and the most that happened was she was told to do was switch her friend group (they had the same friends) I ended up switching her to a charter school for Jr High because of this. My son had about the same experience he was also on a IEP. His 5th grade year I asked that he wasn’t put in a certain teachers class because the teacher loved to yell a lot (my daughter had him) and he was still put in the class it was a nightmare (my son is on the spectrum).

My two children attend Crestwood Elementary. We have been blessed with wonderful teachers who are dedicated to the work that they do. They are passionate and care deeply about the students in their classrooms. Mrs. Peterson is an incredible principal who knows most of the students by name and pours so much into making Crestwood a welcoming learning environment. Mr. Stahl, the vice principal, is friendly and well-liked by the students. My children have truly enjoyed their experiences at Crestwood and love going to school there!

Lets start by saying keep your opinions to yourself and politics out of our children's teachings and stop forcing fear into their tiny little minds you guys work for us not the other way around My Child has not Learned a thing from this so called DISTANCE LEARNING And to top it off these Masks they should be up to the Parent not the Teacher nor the Superintendent.

In the many different years that I have been involved with Crestwood I have had different thoughts about this school. As the years have passed I have to say it has gotten worse. The people in the office are the problem, not the teachers as their hands seem to be tied.

We loved our daughters teacher and the way she taught our daughters class. Unfortunately they don't handle bullying well at all to say the least. I came to the principal multiple times about a student bullying my daughter and it was always treated as if my daughter was being too sensitive. The student had also been bullying other girls she never had any consequences besides having to apologize and then the principal suggested my daughter switch classes.
