GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I have been at Crystal for six years. The school is very small and enjoyable to be at. We have some amazing teachers who get to personally know you. I am happy to have been in this school. I would like to see my school get a new principal. The principal is not kind to students, or teachers. I have personally seen him bully teachers. He is a new principal who thinks he has all the power. Hopefully he will not be principal for much longer so our great teachers can feel safe at their work.

I would not say that this school is the best, therefore it is not the worst school I have been too.

Our extracurricular activities are average in the sense of sports. We do not have many clubs because there are simply not enough people to support them. Student council is something that is fun to be in, as well as Renaissance.
