I'm a new parent to CSUS, with my son entering freshman year. I am impressed with so many aspects of the school. Yes, it has high expecatations of students, but the caring, warmth, and understanding of student needs is amazing. Not only are the kids smart, but they are polite, well-behaved, and are the kind of students you can see going far in life. The Crocker 'mansion,' steeped in history, is breathtaking, with it's European marble, ancient tapestries, parquet ballroom and Dumbledore headmistress office. I told my son that college will never look this good!
It is simply the finest school in all aspects. Extremely caring staff (teachers are the students' friends, close parent/child-support). Teachers and staff are very caring. Lots of hands on class activities. My daughter simply LOVES it and is thrill in such supportive, motivated, and engaging environment. It is an amazing place. You can't go wrong when selecting this wonderful school for your child.
Highly overrated. The selection of courses pales in comparison to other Bay Area High Schools (public and private). The excuse that 'Crystal is just too small...' is getting very old. Right now, Crystal is running on straight reputation. Eventually, it will run out and the school will have to take a look at its issues (of which there are many). Maybe then Crystal will become a respectable institution.
This is a small, top-notch college preparatory school with excellent teachers, lots of opportunities for growth and exploration, and a warm and supportive community. It has all the advantages of a place where everybody knows your name and all of the disadvantages which are inherent in smallness. Both my kids adored their time at CSUS and are now thriving young adults.
