This school is absolutely worthless, the faculty stands by as students get bullied and do nothing to help the situation. My son was being bullied last year and constantly being attacked verbally, one student attempted to fight my son and my son defended himself and ended up beating the kid up, guess who was suspended, if you guessed the bully who initiated the fight, you guessed wrong. They need to find new faculty members that actually care about the kids more than the paychecks

Crestview does an outstanding job making homework engaging. Unlike most schools, Crestview has a more laid back system when it comes to homework. In my experience with my old schools, I was getting D's and F's and homework assignments just because they were too difficult to understand. Now, I am getting solid A's and B's when I do my homework at Crestview.

Teachers at Crestview are some of the best that I have had. They always help students that are in need of assistance and will do the right thing. However, some of the athletic coaches are teachers and don't really teach at all.
Posted: March 8, 2020
Students at Crestview are respectful to teachers and students. Occasionally, there will be an altercation between two students or a student and a teacher, but overall students and teachers are very compassionate about their jobs.

I would say Crestview has a multiple solid leadership programs and activities. However, this can be a problem. Some of the participants will put themselves on a pedestal above the rest because they think they have more power.
Posted: March 8, 2020
Teachers and students give the upmost respect to those with learning differences. There are multiple people willing to help, mostly students, that will help those.
Posted: March 8, 2020
Crestview has several policies that are followed and are put in place about bullying. Students however are very respectful to each other and are hardly ever bullying problems.
Posted: March 8, 2020
Overall, I give Crestview High School a 10/10. The student atmosphere is fantastic and there is something for everyone to do.

-10 I wish I did more research on the school district and how many kids have been arrested at this school as we would have moved to another town. Since moving here in 2018, my child has had to attend counseling.

The teachers give the assignments out and no textbooks; everything is online through their classlink which is not user friendly. It makes it very hard to help your child
Posted: June 11, 2019
They dont want any issues or questions. Just do as your told; but if you are one of the athletic kids you are treated better.
Posted: June 11, 2019
If your child has any mental disabilities, physical disabilities, etc you are treated as an outcast and the SRO are watching.
Posted: June 11, 2019
It's only for the popular kids but they make it sound like its not; basically it's a giant bullying club.
Posted: June 11, 2019
Nope. They dont pay any attention to your child at all. My child had a service dog and the kids were mean to him, school didnt do anything. 9 months after I pulled him out, the kids are still harassing him
Posted: June 11, 2019
If your child is the one that is different (mental disabilities, physical disabilities, etc) your child will be blamed as the one who is doing the bullying.

First year for my kids at this school, they like it so far. Seems a bit crowded to me.

They say with new Leadership comes change and I find that to be true at Crestview High. Principal Day and his staff are dedicated to the students and their futures. Principal Day and his staff are available at anytime to answer questions and help when needed. I was thrilled when Principal Day hired Coach Gibson and Coach Arnett to take over the Softball Program. Both Coach Gibson and Coach Arnett are dedicated to making the Softball program a success and helping the girls to the next level. Both Coaches care about all the girls they are coaching. Coach Gibson and Coach Arnett are working very hard to bring the Softball program back to the level it should be. We are looking forward to an awesome year next year - It can only get better. Principal Day, Coach Gibson and Coach Arnett keep doing the Great job you are doing. Future looks Bright at Crestview High School.

My daughter tried out and made softball. It's apparent that about 4 girls only made the team in order to gain $520 per child to be on the team. My straight A student is having trouble keeping her grades up. I'm seriously considering homeschooling.

Fights, fights, fights daily, it is a great school however some of the kids here need to be sent off. It's quite unbearable here for me honestly because of just this. Most teachers here are great, they communicate with the students a lot with the exception of the few who just get up and teach until the day is finally over. Great school, so-so community (students). Also the U.S. really needs to change the buses here.

My daughter went to Crestview High school and i can say its a great school. They have the CHOICE program and this year they just added cosmetology, they several other options too. There athletics are great. Academics are Amazing, all the teachers care and if they have a failing grade they will notify you if you let them know that you want them too. The principal is great too. The ESE program is wonderful. It does have crowded hallways but my Daughter could get from on end of the school to the other and be to class on time! Discipline is very high too.

I am a Freshman at Crestview High School and entering this school from the local middle school was a shock! The students at CHS are out of control and fights happen all the time, right in the middle of the halls! The school is unsanitary and old and many of the bathrooms are so repulsive I do not even want to use them. The school is definitely overcrowded and class sizes are very large. On a positive note, most of the teachers and staff are very helpful and informative, but some are clearly only at the school for their paycheck. The principal is helpful, the staff in the office try to help, but they often do not know the answers to your questions. Overall, Crestview is a great school from an academic standpoint, but something needs to be done about the fights, vandalized desks and lockers, corrupt students, and sanitation.

It's is the worse school that my son attended. He received very little help from his teachers and the guidance councilor is rude and got annoyed when ask for advice or help. This school may be good for children that are advanced but not for any student that needs extra attention or below average! Don't be fooled by the "A+" school.... It's not, only on paper!!! I felt as though the school is more concern about the fcat scores than what the children are really processing and learning,

Ok school. There is a certain science teacher in 9th grade that brings it down. Certain teachers needs to go.
