The teachers are wonderful. They have been there, on average, 10-15 years, and the principal is fantastic. She was a former teacher here and has come back as the principal so she knows and respects the teachers and they respect her. The children have learn and thrive and enjoy the activities that are provided through a strong PTA. I love this school.

I am a parent of a first grader and feel that Crocker is a tough place. The academics are taught in a dry/ out-of-date manner and the children are not taught a love of learning. The administration is really lacking... the parents are really the driving force... the pta is great and many of the teachers are wonderful and caring... but an inspiring place for young minds? unfortunately no.

My child came out of a very well regarded private school to attend Crocker Highlands Elementary and we love it! In most ways it is nearly identical to the private school - same great parent participation, wonderful children, dedicated teachers, and challenging academics. We thought that we'd have to sacrifice a bit in the change to public education, but this school is every bit as good as private (or better). We are so pleased with this school!

As a 3rd generation graduate of cCorcker Highlands, I can only say it is one of the finest elementary schools in the state. Too sad when it go uglyfied for earthquake retrofitting.
