My daughter started K in Sept 2020 (not a great year to start school!!!). Her teacher in K was absolutely wonderful and managed the full virtual school with grace and stamina. She then made the transition to half virtual/half in person week school very smooth for the students. My daughter was always engaged and knew how to follow instructions. My daughter still adores her, and learned soooo much with her. This year, she has once again a wonderful teacher for 1st grade, this time back to school full time. She's happy to go to school every day, and showing me what she learned!
My daughter is also in the French program, the EFAN school, that is at Crossroads. She doesn't speak French but was accepted because we signed her up in K. She has improved so much in French it's incredible. She follows the American curriculum as well as the French one, and loves her French teacher dearly.
Crossroads is a wonderful experience all around! The building seems new, the staff is wonderful and responsive, and the school is very inclusive.
As to bullying, I have seen an instance that was immediately addressed and solved in a gentle and professional way.

Great school, my daughter (2nd grade) is actually attending and was a non English speaker at first. Now she is totally fluent. Big shout to her teachers who worked with her. She is also in the French program, which is either a good opportunity for non french speaker who wants to learn a new language, specially when you are young, and also for the French who are planning to go back in the French system after.

It's like they don't care at all about the safety of students.

My daughter had some happening with some bullies, which included the same girl spitting in my daughters face twice and a little boy in her class actually leaving a bruise on my daughters side! First I talked to the counselor and she said she would talk to the student(s). Then when the little girl spit in my daughters face AGAIN I went and talked to the principal and she just said that she would talk to the girl. SUSPEND her to talk to her parents. I got no feed back from them at all over if anything had been done. My daughter will not be going here for 1st grade that's for sure.

This is a tremendously good school for kids. The teachers care, the administration cares - it's the bullies that need to be weeded out and sent elsewhere.
Posted: June 22, 2018
The teachers here are awesome. They enable their students to learn in a highly productive and positive atmosphere.

Teachers have been on target with those who are struggling academically and need additional teaching or to be held back for their own good.
Posted: June 22, 2018
This issue has NOT been adequately addressed for a final positive outcome. It continues to happen constantly but teachers and the administration seem to keep trying to eradicate bullying.

It's a wonderful school with teachers who seem to truly care.

Terrible leadership. Lots of bully, hard to deal with students from high poverty school.

Not all of the teachers are ineffective, but those that are effective, respected, and considerate of their students, wish they had more freedom to teach their students however way they can in order to truly learn something worthwhile, instead of just teaching them to pass the SOLs.

If the faculty and administrators are dishonest, how can they teach any of that to their students?
Posted: October 10, 2015
This school building may be new, but the old problems still exist. The staff are unfriendly, rude, and inconsiderate towards visitors and parents, for any reason.
They have a good number of bullies--not just students, but faculty as well. What is worse, is that their boss is willing to protect them over their students. As such, they have failed to uphold the responsibilities and promise to protect the students walking their halls.
When unruly, disrespectful, unkempt, and neglected children are the norm, where does that leave the kind-hearted, honest, intelligent, and well-behaved children? I can tell you, anywhere but there.

This school is best to be avoided. They built a new school, Which is great, but the old problems still exist-- bullies, troubled children, incompetent teachers, rude office workers, and bureaucratic administrators. All of this outweighs any positive aspects of this school; therefore, not worth your time! Thanks to all of this, my son will no longer be attending this school.

I LOVE crossroads elementary. They make every child feel very special, and will sit and spend time with you one on one, like children need at that tender age. I attended this school, and going through the hardest of times, I was always drawn out to feel on top of every one else. This is the best school of every school I've been through, and has definitely been the one to make me feel, the most important, the most likely to achieve my goals, and help me want to strive for more. Crossroads Elementary is an overly-exceptional school.
