Freedom Crest Elementary School

This school is poorly set up and the principle cares more about his budget than the quality of education for the children. He routinely cancels scheduled events and may or may not allow them to happen based upon the parental complaints received from the events cancellation, the schools 100 mile club awards are an example of this. The school starts an hour earlier than other elementary schools in the district and the number of tardy students trying to rush in through their poorly planned traffic system is absurd. Also the playground is not open prior to school hours and the school breakfast they provide was not available to students until it was pointed out that the school receives money for but didn't provide the meals. Then there's the district which definitely sees the kids as revenue instead of aspiring young students. My son received about a third of the support that was required by his IEP and the sped department will employs people that don't behave as though they are qualified for the position. So basically if you have another option for your child, I would go with that, even if it's further away. Your kids deserve a system that responds to the needs of its students, not a school that will fail them for the sake of saving money.

I don't give 5 stars because there is always room for improvement..However it is all about your desire to be better. This school, it's current leadership, the teachers work hard and are open and honest about the good and bad. Communication is top notch..not always what we want to hear as parents sometimes, but necessary. The PTA is fluff, but that's alright for elementary schools. I am second full cycle parent at this site and very pleased to be back....One word...Parents Volunteer!

This school is awesome no one gets bullied and it's super safe if you have a problem with this school then don't go it's a perfectly fine school what could go wrong please go to freedom crest not for me but. For your child

Horrible, horrible school! They allowed my daughter to get bullied multiple times in class, on the playground, and in the after school program. Emphasis is put on over the top behavior problems and kids whom are emotional distrurbed are mainstreamed into the normal classroom setting. These problem chidren receive cuddle bears, special seating, special treats while the normal kids look on and are told these other children are "special." The parking lot is a nightmare where I have seen many parents cussing each other out and pounding on windows over parking spaces! Joke of a school with no multicultural diversity and many MANY mean students. Take your kids any where else but here. I wouldn't put these people in charge of my dog.
