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 had a great experience at Crest. I have had great, fair, teachers. My best experiences are with the band and beta club. The most recent beta Club event I had that I had a great time at was over the summer. I volunteered for a camp where I looked after 5th graders and helped teach them about the Star program. and thought them My band director now is the best band director I have had. He is strict when he needs to be and is like a best friend to me. The band director we had before him was not the best. She was always in pain and didn't really teach anything. When I was in marching band with her I would go home every day and cry. I had a lot of ankle pain and she was supposed to let me sit out when I needed to and she didn't. Overall I have had a great experience at Crest. I have had bad points in time, but it was overall great.

The school isn't bad. I am one of the more book smart kids so everybody in my classes have been there since middle school. One of the down side to my school is all the cheating. My school hasn't found a really good system for cheating that doesn't involve punishment for the ones that don't cheat.
