Ive had so many issues with my kids being bullied screamed at by the teachers then get mad when I dont want my kids going here..... my daughters hair was cut twice here by her peers. And the teachers response was she did it herself.... I had kids in kindergarden 2nd grade and 6th grade none of my kids liked it their responses are ridiculous. And from what we have been through I wouldnt recommend sending your kids here. My children complained about their teachers not listening one teacher would scream most of the day my daughter said her head hurt when she got home also my daughter never has accidents but 3 times she ended up having accidents on the bus because they refused her to go to the bathroom. And she would have to hold it and couldn't. Ive been beyond disappointed with this school also charge me 150 just for them to ride the bus because we are 1.9 miles out from the school im a single mom of 4 and pay everything on my own can not afford that. Then they want to try to get me introuble with the law for them missing school..... also they would come home hungry everyday because they were not feeding them enough while at school then tried to blame me for it. Seriously no accountability whatsoever. But us parents are bad for not wanting our kids treated this way. I will homeschooling my children from now on....

They don’t even let parents walk young kids in on their first day and are super rude about it.

Great school. They do amazing afterschool events for the whole family. I have 3 children there now and it is a very hands-on school. One of my kids has ADHD and it is the perfect place for him. There is a ton of extra help, one of my kids once attended a reading program before school started that the teachers put on. Totally recommend!

I am extremely happy with the education my 3 children are getting at croton. I have 2 children with ADHD and the staff has been very helpful with behavioral input for providers and patient while trying to get the medication adjusted. I also have alittle one with special needs who has blossomed since starting classes at Croton. Everyone shows care and concern about the kids. The staff seem to know all the kids names and to genuinely care about the kids even after they have move to the next grade. It is a great school. You will always find someone who has some beef with any school so not every parent will be happy. But this parent is very happy.

My families experience with Croton Elementary has been a positive one. The staff has always been very helpful and informative and dedicated to my children's success. My daughters IEP team and Principal have always put my daughters best interests first. The cardinal family is just that family. The school is ran like a well oiled machine, they work as a team to provide a safe, effective learning environment.

The office staff is rude and polite mean. I have had to call the board of education on this school many times this year. They should focus on my child getting a education, instead they harass my children with question that they should be asking the parent not the child. If I could afford to move into different school zone I would. I have never had issues like that with any other school and my kids hate it there. I feel so bad for them. I am looking for a charter school or maybe home school because this school is just negative and my kids loved going to school until i came to this school. Now they never want to go to school. Teacher are ok i just wish they would help students to succeed and be reachable. But instead only time you hear from the teacher is if the student is misbehaving. I'd like to here about missing home work or things to help them better but that never happens.

My son went to this school on his first day there he was bully bad there. My child got kick out of his chair sand throw in his face teachers yelling at my child. A child spit in his face and the teacher didn't even let him wash his face called the principal she didn't do nothing she is a terrible principal when I talk to her about the safety of the kids she got mad at me because I'm a concerned parent about my child learning and safety. What got me is when we move him out of that school the people at the front office was rude and nasty and said I'm glad he is gone. So talk to your kids when they get home.

Hi, I was wondering, Im looking at the web sites for updated things as When exactly does our School Calendar going to be updated? When is the whole page about last school year 2013-2024 over so 2014-2015 is tomorrow... of the picture for this years new events and calendar events. I see our district calendar has it all for All districts and schools. I love real responsibilities for real seriousness. My time is not counted for your responsibility work unless I was hired by your school to do the work right and correct with efficiently status to everyones standards and lifestyles that reads updated information at any given reasonable time. I wish I was getting paid to do the work. I wouldn't play where the serious got worse. You could be in all of trouble. The serious of responsibility on your part was not on me to tell you how to do your job. Thank you. I rate your school a 3 until school begins..

We love Croton- been there for 6 years now. My oldest has been on honor roll for 2 straight years and got (2) 5's on FCAT this past year! My youngest has ADHD and is getting special help in the classroom. He improved so much this past year and it is because of the great teachers and staff!

This is our first year in Croton and so far we love it. My kids are in TK1 and Kindergarten and it has been a really good experience. My kids have improved so much this school year and I have never had any problem making them go to school. If there was any behavior issues with any of the kids things are handled properly by the teacher. The staff at Croton are all doing a great job at making parents feel welcome. Thank you for that! =) Parent involvement at this school is also great, I normally do not volunteer because others do not like the idea of bringing younger siblings but teachers here welcome the idea of me bringing my babies during class volunteer or any other activities. I am looking forward for the next school year!
