"My girls have been going to this school for 3 years and this past year has been the worst. The school is very unorganized. Teachers show favoritism and hold grudges towards students. After some very unprofessional and inappropriate comments made by a teacher, my daughter came home afraid to go back to school. Several parents made complaints and the principle did nothing to the teacher, not even time off while doing an "investigation". I don't think it was even reported to the school board until my wife called them. If a child had made the same comment, he/she would have been suspended no questions asked. Child pick-up on rainy days can be very confusing as it is left to the individual teachers to make the decision if they will ride or walk home instead of the school making best decision for all students. We have found MANY other parents that are very unhappy with this school and are moving their kids somewhere else. I think we will be doing the same!"

"We have attended Crooked River Elementary for 1 full year, with children in different grades. There is little to no homework assigned and very few projects. The combination of Silent Lunch, Silent Hallways, and time taken from the one 15 minute recess/day dicipline strategy showes little respect for the student body. The philosophy of disciplining the entire lunch room/class to improve the behavior of a specific student has proved itself unaffective, though it continues to be practiced at CRES. The sour faces and lack of love for children appears to be norm rather than the exception. The PTO colapsed a while back and a 2nd attempt is being made to get it started again this year. Frustration among the parents is high, few have found areas that welcome parent volunteers. It is hard to believe that the generous military community next to the school is constantly is shut out."

"We moved here in April of 2007 as a military family. My oldest was in 1st and my daughter in kindergarten. They adjsuted very well with the help of the teachers for the last 4 weeks of school. The following year they thrived and achieved straight A's all year round. The teachers are willing to communicate and listen and help. My children both had Mrs. Klein for 2nd and 3rd grades (she moved up to teacher 3rd) and she is by far the most wonderful teacher we have had :) We are preparing to move to San Diego and I am going to miss this school terribly. The only downside is if you live in base housing there are no buses. All children are biker/walkers/car riders and it gets very hectic on rainy days/cold winter days trying to get them from school."

"I love this school. I have been here only two years and find myself working with some of the finest teachers around. Our principal is visionary and consistently strives for excellence in all areas. Earlier this year we adopted the phrase, 'Do whatever it takes to help our students achieve!' We work hard and we have fun! Go Dolphins!"

"My two daughters both went to this school. We have since transfered but miss it dearly. The principal Dr. Sapp is top notch and the teachers went above and beyond with both of my children to meet their educational needs. They really are some of the best teachers out there in my opinion and my children have been to many due to military transfers. I have nothing but praise for this school and its staff."
