as a former student as this school the teachers at lunch are pretty strict and get mad when you just have a conversationÂ…

My Third grader comes home with several pages of home work each night while my 5th grader has none.

My youngest struggles, my oldest is bored. Teachers seem to not know how to handle either.

Could use more communication from leadership and individual teachers about what students are learning.

Overall, we have loved it. Our youngest were bullied at first, but the school was quick to address it. They have gone on to form deep and happy friendships and seem to be thriving.

My child's behavior has improved significantly. His teacher, Ms. Joop is authoritative, organized and knowledgeable. The routines, consistent expectations and clear rules she sets for the classroom is exactly what my son needed to succeed. She teaches students through active engagement. Teachers at this school have done great job modeling and teaching emotional regulation and appropriate behaviors to my kindergartener. My child is thriving at CMES. He's been attending this school for only three months but so far I donÂ’t have any complaints about the school.

Excellent school, excellent staff. I couldn't be happier with the education all 4 of my children have received at Crofton Meadows Elementary.

Crofton Meadows is truly an outstanding school. As we were looking for homes, we really looked into all the elementary schools in the area. Aside from being a National Blue Ribbon school, the teachers are extremely committed to the students. The community of parents are very dedicated as well. They have so many programs and offerings from movie night to the winter festival. Also, my kids have been able to participate in a bunch of clubs (science, drama, golf, etc). Such a fantastic school!

I left CMES in 2006, after attending in kindergarten and third grade there. I miss it! I feel as though CMES has been a fantastic school for me to be in. The teachers were so thoughtful, kind, and caring. I loved my strings class. Strong administration. My friends at my current school have a low opinion of public schools, but I always retort by saying, "Just look up Crofton Meadows Elementary and you will see that not all public schools are bad." I made friends there, and it was great getting back in touch with them. I was so said when my third grade teacher left :(. She was the best! Overall: I LOVE THIS SCHOOL! <3
