I’m contradicting my prior “excellent” review. In June the board abruptly terminated the Head of School, whose promotion of a kind and inclusive culture was the primary reason we chose Crossroads. The reason provided was low student enrollment. I was appalled by the board's deflection of responsibility and the unkind and unfair manner in which they outright blamed the Head for matters beyond his control. Two excellent teachers were removed from the classroom to serve as Co-Heads, despite their apparent lack of leadership experience. The board explicitly stated that they avoided the title "Interim Co-Heads" because it suggested instability, which they seem to be trying to hide. With the significant faculty turnover following the questionable leadership and cultural changes, the school seems unstable and appears to be solely focused on attempting to increase enrollment in order to stay open. I fear the end is near and would NOT recommend sending your child to Crossroads.
I am an alumna from Crossroads class of 2014 and I had a great experience. The school is truly dedicated to social justice, racial equity, and community well-being--in a way that I have never heard of a high school being before. When I was a student, we were encouraged to truly be ourselves and explore our individual, quirky personalities and interests. Since I graduated, it is clear to me that Crossroads is continuing its commitment to social justice. I have seen the administration, teachers, and students involved in community engagement, politics, and hands-on learning. It is a wonderful place for students to explore their passions and become a contributing member of the community!
We have toured all independent secondary schools in St. Louis. As an educator and a parent of a child in their 5th year at Crossroads, we made an intentional decision to join the community after recognizing their unique and genuine commitment to relationship, intellectual curiosity, individual and community care, and centering of equity and justice. As an educator who's had the opportunity to engage with teachers across many states and learning communities, Crossroads teachers are stellar. They prioritize and are current in their knowledge of best practices in education, and this is reflected in the ways they engage diverse learners and content. As a parent, our child communicates feeling deeply known, trusted and valued as a learner and a person. As a family, we feel a true sense of belonging and that our insight and ideas are appreciated and heard, particularly this year. We love the people that Crossroads attracts: interesting, smart, engaged, and open. A rare gem of a school.
