The Crenshaw Academy

"Wonderful school experience for my daughter!! We came to Crenshaw in 8th grade after leaving an expensive prep school in town. We found a warm environment, friendly students and teachers who want to help the students succeed. My daughter has soared academically and socially. The school is very small so kids get to know each other well, this helps make the environment inclusive and diminishes the opportunities for "clicks". It feels like an extended family. If your child would benefit from a small environment, go visit Crenshaw for a tour."

"I am an alumni from The Crenshaw School and now my son is attending kindergarten there. I strongly recommend this school to families that are looking for A safe and fun environment where your child can feel confident and loved everyday by the teachers and friends. The education is here is about quality not quantity. You can't go wrong if you choose Crenshaw."

"The purpose of a review is to provide an overall assessment. The quality of an education is not based on the location or the look and style of a brick and mortar building but the proven academic track record and results. The Stanford Achievement Test (SAT) scores for Crenshaw students speak for themselves. It is used to measure academic knowledge and conducted methodically on an annual basis by The Crenshaw School to ensure that students are provided a quality education and are reaching their full academic potential. As the saying goes, "the proof is in the pudding." Simply inquire as to the school's overall standardized scores - that has the greatest standing and substance. The proof is our eldest daughter's SAT scores in applying to some of the top universities in the country. The Crenshaw School has exceeded our academic expectations. Simply look at some the universities that graduates from Crenshaw have or are attending. There is no other school that is up to the challenge for our family in our high expectations."

"If this school consisted of only one teacher selected at random, teaching under an oak tree, that is where I'd send my kid. It'd still be the best education available. Great teachers - demanding but compassionate. Same goes for the administration. Curricula free of all the trendy nonsense found at public schools. They treat each child as an individual, including super flexible curriculum to meet each one's needs. (My eldest was able to complete 2 years of Calculus by the time she was a junior.) My youngest is having an even better experience, loves it. I can't imagine either of them without this school as an integral part of their development."
