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've had an interesting experience at Crosby High School. I've had a mix of helpful, useful, lazy, and uninvolved teachers who have either cared about my work and helped me, or ignore my complaints and questions. The students, food, and overall environment is very different from my old school, and I've come to love and hate it. I wish a lot more staff and students were more respectful and kinder, but I take what I can get.

I love Crosby I've been going here since my Freshman year and like any school it has its ups and downs, but the ups definitely outweigh the downs. It's a great community and you'll meet lifetime friends here.

My two daughters are transfer students from New York. They never any issues until they attended Crosby High school. One student threatened her life while my other daughter got written up for dressing inappropriately. She was wearing an outfit she wore to church to school . I couldn't believe the principal had an issue with that. Thumbs down for me so far.

They harass each other and act as if they are older than the staff. The staff do nothing to help eliminate bullies and...

Crosby High School is at the top 10 of worst schools in Connecticut. The reason? It's simple! The school struggles with technology and care. I am actually a good student but the dress code in here is too much for most students. Collared shirts and solid color pants are impossible to even obtain beca...

Send your kid to this school if you would like your child to: be harassed by teachers and faculty for breathing, not learn anything relevant to life with the exception of what an ineffective school looks like, not go to college, or not succeed in an facet of life. Crosby High School is an embarrassm...
