I have 2 children at Crossroads Elementary and this school is awesome! There is so much parental involvement & kids are excited to be a part of this wonderful place. The principal (Miss Carty) is the best & the staff is top-notch. There is not one thing negative I can say about Crossroads Elementary (Science). :-) Close Quote
