Just ask what needs to be done for those that BULLY. The response will be. Stay quiet!

Minimal class/course selection, poor teaching staff, academics is not a focus and Facilities are out-dated. Teachers are more concerned about their union contract then teaching and educating. Crestwood does a below average job in preparing students for college. Test scores indicate this and prove your child will get a below average education. I took my 2 children out and enrolled them at Bishop Hoban. Look at other school districts if you are moving to the area. I wish I did!

My family has lived in Mountaintop for 75 years, and I'm a former alumni of Crestwood. The high school program has degraded remarkably from its peak in the 1965-85 period. My kid went from liking school and never missing any days, and "B" honor roll, to not even wanting to go to school anymore. What's that say about Crestwood ? In his own words, he said it was a mistake, and not a good school My son tells me they don't learn anything, and he learns more from a test he flunks, than from the tests he gets a good grade on. It sounds like the teacher quality has degraded noticeably, they are teaching only to the "A" students, and the rest can fend for themselves. I highly warn and recommend everyone, do NOT send your child to this school- home school or go to a local private school instead.

THIS SCHOOL CARES ABOUT TWO THINGS PSSA AND FOOTBALL. THEY HIRE PERSONEL FROM WITHIN AND IT SHOWS BY THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION. THEY DO NOT ENCOURAGE THE CHILDREN BUT ARE TRAINING THEM TO WORK FOR WALMART. IF YOU DO YOUR HOMEWORK YOUR AN HONOR STUDENT. TEACHERS DO NOT GET INVOLVED AND ARE CONCERNED WITH GETTING HOME AT 2;30. MY SON FAILED HEALTH, NO NOTIFICATIONS WERE MADE TO ME. IT WAS A ONCE A WEEK CLASS. THERE WEBSITE IS LACKING AND IS OFTEN DIFFICULT TO ACCESS AS WELL NEVER UPDATED. I RECENTLY RECEIVED A PROGRESS REPORT AT THE THE END OF THE QUATER. A LITTLE LATE DON'T YOU THINK. THEY WANTED TO GO TO A COLLEGE TO MAKE IT UP. THEY WOULD NOT EVEN LET HIM TAKE IT THE NEXT YEAR. THEY ONLY TOLD ME HE WOULD NOT GRADUATE IF I WOULD NOT DO IT THEIR WAY. SO NOW HE IS BEING CYBER SCHOOLED AND HIS GRADES ARE MUCH HIGHER AND HE IS ACTUALLY LEARNING SOMETHING. THE GOOD PART IS THEY LOSE $8,000 TO $10,000. HE IS NOW TAKING HEALTH AND WILL RECEIVE A B+. DO NOT SEND YOUR KIDS HERE!!!!!!!
