I am very impress with Crescent Academy, my daughter is now a third grader and doing very well. She have gone there since Kindergarten. She had excellent teachers Flanagin, Quinlin, Chadwick. She now have Smith and Morrison...I love, Love them. I just wish they have more programs for the smaller childrens, such as drama, cheerleading etc for after school programs. It seem like they focus more on the older children. I would like to see some of the staff members to get their acts together on talking to parents with attitudes. Overall Good Job!!

This is one of the worse schools ever the their test scores are very bad...they don't even give the students books to take home. The principle cares about nothing but how she looks...If you care about your childs education please don't send your child to this school. They will learn nothing.
