Cravens Early Childhood Academy

"All 3 of my kids have attended this school and loved the teachers!!"

"My daughters first year here and everything had been fine until this morning, the teacher asked the oarents if they could orovide snacks for the class which is no problem. I was told to drop snacks off in the front office... i work night shift so i get off at 6am drive home get my daughter ready then drive her to school. Well i show up at 630am the doors open at 645.. i walk my daughter to the front with the snacks and was greeted by a very rude woman asking what do i need.. i told her im here to bring snacks for my daughters class.. she reaches out takes the bag from me then says she cant come thru here you have to fet in the car rider line.. which is 6 miles long at this point. I was upset so i attemted to just walk her to the other side when the woman said Sir you have to get back in your car! I just worked a 12 hour shift.. i go out of my way to buy snacks for the entire class and show up early to deliver them in front and you cant allow my daughter to walk into school thru the front? Meanwhile teachers are bringing their kids thru the front. Very rude and un proffesional"

"If you have a chance to avoid sending your child here you may want to do so. I have had nothing but problems this year out of administration and transportation. This has to be the worst school I have ever dealt with. They don't make sure lunch money gets turned in to the cafeteria and then give a child 1 thing to eat for the day, even though the failure was on the cafeteria to get the money out of mailbox. They don't allow the children to bring their money to the cafeteria. You send money and the teacher "misplaces" it until you call wanting to know why the money hasn't been put on her lunch account yet. Transportation refuses to give parents their children who are at the bus stop with their ID in hand and claim its because the parent isn't on the pick up list, when in fact, the parent they denied was the one who filled out the transportation paperwork. Send money for cap and tassel for Kindergarten graduation. Teacher didn't get it out of her folder that day. Now my child won't have a cap and tassel for Kindergarten graduation. They enroll children under dual residency who bring bills to prove residency at registration at the beginning of the school year. These are all problems I have had with my 3rd child to go there. Im not even going to go into the issues ive had with my other children."

"The school may be good, but on most of the events they only allow one parent to visit the student. I honestly find that out to be really stupid since the kid is expecting to see both parents there. I understand there may not be enough room for everyone but honestly not all the parents go, so it's not really super crowded."
