The students are, for the most part, good people. The teachers work hard and care deeply about their students, and building administrators are passionate and approachable. Unfortunately, the district administration is dysfunctional and the community continually refuses to fund the schools. Levy after levy has failed, leaving Crestwood in a dire financial situation. The Academy program, an interdisciplinary experiential class, is the crown jewel of the High School, and recently built an aquaponics greenhouse! AP classes offer students opportunities to push themselves, but options are limited and often result in schedule conflicts since most courses only run during one period. All-in-all, the school has good staff but lacks the resources to help students truly excel.
Crestwood is full of opportunities and has some great teachers who care about you're experience. I think there are some teachers here that don't care at all and just want to get through the day. I appreciate the few teachers that do make sure you're learning. So much more could be done to make the school better, more money, newer technology and renovations. There have been lots of "budget cuts" the past two years which includes cutting teachers. In my opinion the teachers who were let go were the best ones. For a public school there are lots of rules and barriers. We aren't allowed to have phones anymore, which I think has helped me a lot this year. I enjoy coming to school and taking certain classes. I look forward to coming to Junior/Senior Seminar which is just a service class. I struggled alot freshman and sophomore year but school started clicking with me by junior year. Now its a breeze!
My 12 year experience at Crestwood High School was below satisfactory. This school gets by with the bare minimum. The only positive is the teaching staff and principle. The teachers at Crestwood High are very kind and helpful, they want to see you succeed. The administration on the other hand is horrific (except for the principle). It seems like they only want to discipline the already disciplined students. This administration has found ways to pull me away from my education time and time again for no good reason. And when I ask why my education is being interrupted I am met with the upmost disrespect.
