Crossfield Elementary School

It’s not a bad school but it is absolutely not a great one either. Academics are valued over social-emotional learning to the detriment of the kids and the community. Student leaders are not held to the standards that student leaders at other schools are held to. There are have unchecked bullying incidents and little effort to manage them on the part of leadership.

Fairfax County Public Schools and the Crossfield Administration have their priorities mixed up. Putting revenue before kids. Who wants their child (or any child) to go to an elementary school with a cell phone tower next to it and on the playground. Cell tower safety issues and 6+ years of exposure for kids for a $200 per month rental fee? If this was such a great school, as I thought it was, the School Principal and the Teachers would not put the kids at risk and allow this to happen. I am very disappointed in FCPS and the Crossfield Principal for even entertaining such a concept.

We like the teachers but the administration has tried to push through a cell phone tower right next to the building twice. The first time they stopped because of a petition but they are trying again and it looks like a tower will be put in in January 2017. We will be looking for a new school

The school has great, caring teachers. There is also wonderful community support. Children are challenged academically and the school has been focusing on STEM.
