This school is not a good school for special needs families. They also don't do anything with bullying.

My son is doing very well at Crystal Hill. He was a little shy when he came in to the school in kindergarten; however, he's now one of the top students in his class.

I went to this school k-3 and they were never any help. We tried to work out a system that would help be successful, and they pushed me through school and now that I've moved schools and get the right help I've always needed I'm one on the top kids in all my classes.so no I would not recommend this school to any child in need of help...
