If your child wants to go somewere is sports Cruickshank is the place to go. Great gateway to highschool sports programs. Most teachers there are quite plesant and have great knowledge of their subjects. As anonymous parent #1 stated this school "poor" then maby you should be more concerned about how your child is performing not "blame the teachers" game. You can blame whoever you want your kid isnt gonna get any better, even if they are hadicapped, blaming somebody else because of your experience isnt gonna hold ground. This is a great school. I went there for 3 years and graduated with a 3.6 gpa no problemo.

May the Lord bless you with a different option. I'm totally unimpressed with the teachers at Cruickshank. Direct student assitance is poor. Many teachers are locked into their stale repertoire of standards-based worksheets. If you have a special ed student who is "mainstreamed", spare yourself the disappointment of hoping that regular ed teachers might adapt their curriculum or offer any additional help. They practice a rigid, narrow, uncreative "sink-or-swim" approach to "teaching", and I am thoroughly frustrated.
