I do not think you can say their Math program is weak now. Last year's 8th grade MathCounts team placed third regionally and advanced all the way to the State level, with the two top scorers placing 2nd and 5th in a region that spans Newbury Park to Goleta. Considering that they assembled a team of four from a class of 34, and were competing against schools that have hundreds or thousands of kids to pick from, I would say that the Math program is more than good enough. I think this reputation dates from more than a decade ago before our current Headmaster arrived. My son, who was at Crane for all nine years, is now acing all his classes including Math (well, except for Art) at his high school, which is ranked among the top 20 prep schools in the country.
Fabulous faculty and administration at this jewel of a school in Santa Barbara. You can tell that they really care about the kids. The top notch academic program is filled with specialties such as Art, Drama Science and Sports. The grounds are amazing with lush green fields for the students to play on. You have to see it to believe it.
Great school, with wonderful programs in Spanish and Science. Yes, the math program is a little behind, but the school makes up in it's amazing Science program. Their Spanish program, makes sure every student is at a level where they are still comfortable but still learning new things. They have wonderful art teachers, and a great library for all ages.
Crane is overall a great experience for most students. The mathematics program is still behind the public schools for grade equivalent. The extracurricular activities are wonderful. The parent involvment is outstanding.
