We love Crenshaw Academy! Our children have flourished here. We have been here for 4 years and our kids feel safe and at home here. The small classroom sizes offer for quality learning. The children are kind and really love their school! Teachers are always available if you have any concerns and the teachers and administrators truly love these kids and want why is best for them. Totally recommend this school to anyone looking for a great private school in the area!

This school is great all around. Admin does not tolerate bullying! Students that struggle as well as gifted students are both able to find their place at Crenshaw. The teachers and administration are truly dedicated to the success of your child.

We are just finishing another great year at Crenshaw. My children love this school. The teachers really care about the students well being as well as their success. I am always able to talk with administration or a teacher if necessary. This year they had science week where they did dissections and different experiments everyday. They went to the Skeleton Museum and Sea World, and a play. They are having so much fun they don't even realize how much they are learning! We are very lucky to be a part of the Crenshaw family.

This school is amazing. There is no bullying because the principle talks to the kids and tells them that it will not be tolerated. Everyone is so nice. It is easy to make friends at this school. All the teachers teach me something new everyday. There are a wonderful drama, art, dance, and math afterschool programs. I would suggest children of all ages who wants a great education come to this school.

Possibly the worst school ever. They need to be shut down. Horrible learning enviroment, teachers without degrees, principle that does not know how to run a scool.

The quality of an education is not based on the location or the look and style of a brick and mortar building but the proven academic track record and results. The Stanford Achievement Test (SAT) scores for Crenshaw students speak for themselves. It is used to measure academic knowledge and conducted methodically on an annual basis by The Crenshaw School to ensure that students are provided a quality education and are reaching their full academic potential. As the saying goes, "the proof is in the pudding." Simply inquire as to the school's overall standardized scores - that has the greatest standing and substance. The proof is our eldest daughter's SAT scores in applying to some of the top universities in the country. The Crenshaw School has exceeded our academic expectations. Simply look at some the universities that graduates from Crenshaw have or are attending. There is no other school that is up to the challenge for our family in our high expectations.

Crenshaw was a life saver for my 3rd grader. She struggled in a traditional classroom with too many kids. At Crenshaw she received so much one on one attention and truly thrived! I am very thankful that we decided to move her to private school! Thanks Crenshaw!

My child has had a great experience in middle school at this small school. Teachers and principal communicate well and resolve issues. My child has improved so much academically and become an independent learner.

As a current parent at Crenshaw. I cannot recommend this school. I'm transferring my kids. Not a good school.

I m currently a student at Crenshaw and there s a few things people need to know before enrolling at this school. Crenshaw is in a church facility with about 4 rooms and a chapel. I feel like I m inside a small box in here, it feels very claustrophobic. The chapel is big but it s filled with the church chairs attached to the floor so they teach us in barbeque tables and chairs. There are no real classrooms and everything is online and mobile. Everyone keeps bumping into each other all the time, this place is so small and I have to wait 20 minutes every day just to get my lunch because it s so crowded in here. Most of the teachers are parents volunteers. No sports, no extracurricular activities.

I have had 2 children attend Crenshaw School, one for 5 yrs and the other for 6 yrs. Both loved going there. Due to financial hardship my daughter entered Olympic High School as a freshman with 4 high school credits. Even though taking all honor courses including geometry and chemistry she rec'd straight A at Olympia in addition to starting on the JV volleyball team, the JV basketball and making the varsity water polo team. At this time as a sophomore she is ranked #1 in unweighted grades in her class of 856 students and 55 in weighted scores. I credit this to the background and learning skills she rec'd at Crenshaw. My son followed her path this year except he rec'd one B and that was in Fresh orientation, teacher did not like it because he did so well coming from a private school. He would spend most of the time helping other students that were having trouble with other classes so he would get low marks for attentiveness. I, as a parent and even though I hate to admit it, my children are not super brilliant. They are smart kids who have had an exceptional background in attending Crenshaw. I would also like to note that Orange Co had my son pegged for special ed.
