Crestline Elementary School

Staff is not professional. They make poor excuses on why they allow bullying to exist on their watch. I would STRONGLY suggest homeschool or inner district transfer if Crestline is the school your kids have to be in. There are some staff that truly care for your kids but a majority of staff even contributes to bullying students as well.

My kids & those of several of my friends/family attend/attended this school. Many have transferred to other schools or like myself, have decided to home school based on experiences there. Many situations are handled inappropriately & complaints to district more than once were answered with "Well, they might need more training in that area." Policies are overlooked when convenient & strictly adhered to other times. My son was being physically bullied & the principal's response was "Maybe he should get counseling that would teach him to not make himself a target for bullies." No action was taken against the kid who stabbed my child's arm with a pencil, threw rocks at him, punched his stomach & the back of his head in line & alienated him from playing with other kids. Without permission, the principal had a meeting with my son & the bullies which further intimidated my child. I was told that "Boys will be boys." Paperwork, absent notifications, & emergency contact info was mishandled. Often, they had no record of my child being at school & I had to correct their mistakes. If you can't overlook low test scores & don't have time to do their jobs than send your kid to another school.
