Crow Island Elementary School

It took me a while before I really understood developmental learning, but now that I do, I wouldn't send my kids anywhere where that was not practiced.

Both my children thrived in this school

Crow Island School is just the best. Teachers and support personnel are wonderful, top-notch professionals and true leaders in the field of education. The Crow Island building (and surroundings) are incredible and the building has won several architectural awards. The district at large has been involved in a study of differentiation and they are fantastic at meeting the needs of children at either end

Don't move here unless your kid is exceptionally smart. Our son is quite bright, yet the teachers in his first grade classroom did not recognize that he was having difficulty reading. After pointing this out to them, they still balked at his getting extra help. After many meetings, and many promises on their part, including involvement from the principal, he and we are still being completely ignored. Don't move here for the schools. In fact, plan on sending your child to a private school. These teachers are being paid too much money and the administration is in shambles. (Student-teacher ratio is 8/1 so you think they could get the job done, right? Wrong!) Right now, Crow Island has an interim principal and District 36 has Interim Superintendents. All of whom are being paid far too much with our tax paying dollars. Down with tenure!
