My kids have been at Crestview for 3 years and we love it. The principal is fantastic and everything always seems well organized. This is the largest elementary school n the Carlisle school district but the principal always greets my kids by name. She goes above and beyond. They just got a vice principal who seems wonderful as well.

We have not had any bad teachers here. They are all organized, have clear expectations for the kids and are caring.

Very happy that they have tiered reading and math groups for each grade/class. This has allowed my kids to actually learn about grade level and to be challenged. This is something that school does as part of their academic program. The gifted program is totally different (and not worth much in my opinion). Close Quote
