Excellent school. Very caring and effective teachers that know their stuff!The school has implemented a restorative justice program in the past year that helps children learn the consequences of their actions and develop healthy relationships with adults and each other.

After being in this school for 1 year it is probably the worst school I have ever encountered. There are some good teachers here, I'll give them that, but they also have some pretty horrible teachers. When I say horrible, I mean I had to teach myself and make my own notes for their classes because they refused to stop trying to discipline everyone during the entire class time. Even when we brought of valid points (which was all my class brought up) they would just argue with the class and not get anything done. One teacher (will not be mentioned) was baffled that all his classes (almost every single student he taught) failed a test, so he thought the best way to solve this was to go through almost a month of "remediation" on the subject only to succeed in getting the kids up to a B on the re-test. We go through this possess on almost every single subject we are "taught". The teachers who are teaching on the other hand, are teaching very well, but the standard in which they are teaching us to is extremely low, even in the advance classes. Over all I wouldn't send any kid here if I had the choice.

They are quick to suspend without valid reasons and they need serious improvements in their administration. They ignore students that are bullied and do nothing to help the situation. They could try to acknowledge that bullying is a serious issue going on in their school and classes where only the victim gets in trouble for defending themselves. Hanging banners doesn't fix the situation. Great job Crane Middle School administration, great job.

I love the communication I have with the teachers. They email me right away if there is an issue that needs to be addressed. Great teachers! I can not say enough wonderful things about all the teachers there. My only complaint is with the administrators of the school. They are not at all helpful in resolving any issues that come up and they are not accessible. Everything is very black & white with no leniancy even if it means sacrificing your childs education. This is a HUGE negative for the school. The principal did not care about my child at all & did nothing to even attempt to resolve the issues I went to her with.

Crane is an amazing school. For those who posted bad reviews, it's not the school's fault that no one liked you. My teachers supported me throughout everything I did. They were easy going and friendly and awesome.They cared about how I was doing in school. We went on an awesome field trip. I'm now in high school, and you know what I miss more than anything? That I could travel back in time to when I was at Crane and relive all those amazing memories all over again.

Worst school i've ever been to, teachers are only concerned about grades, nothing else. They are to focused on the method of teaching then actually teaching. If you come here as a new student they will not help you, they will just tell you to figure it out. I have never felt so out of place in a school in my life, this school is terrible and i hope no one else has to come here.

Being a former student of the Honor classes in Crane Middle School I believe they still at standard level. I moved to a new school and found out i was in Honors Geometry for 8th grade. In Crane Middle School their Honors for 8th graders is only Algebra which at my new school is standard for 8th graders. I suggest that this school improves their curriculum but overall their goal is to have students exceed AIMS.

As a former student, this school represents one of the most traumatic experiences of my childhood. The level of bullying and racial intolerance among the students and faculty has negatively affected me to this day.
