Cross Country Elementary School
Steven McCoy: I think Cross Country is a good school with a faculty that cares about it's students education and well being. They seem to have a plan for everything and the announcements help to keep kids and parents informed. However,some of the materials used in my child's kindergarten class are outdated and are somewhat illegible at times. The addition of the middle school grades seems to have put a strain on the facilitys accommodations for both parents and children. I don't particularly care for the elementary kids being around the middle schoolers for obvious reasons!
