Moving to the next grade level is always exciting for children, but shifting from elementary to middle school is challenging. At CrossRoads Intermediate School, home of the Cougars, it’s all about the sixth grade experience as students learn to navigate multiple classrooms, teachers and schedules.
Because this school enrolls only sixth graders, the staff and teachers focus on helping students transition not only to middle school but also to adolescence. Teams and small learning communities encourage group interaction while providing more individualized learning in math, language arts, social studies and science. Elective classes include visual and performing arts, band, chorus, drama, physical education and yearbook. A Careers in Technology course allows students to gain experience with topics like Google apps, computer programming and web design. Each CrossRoads Intermediate student also receives a district-issued Chromebook for school use.
Outside of core academics, there’s plenty of time for extracurricular activities. Honors orchestra, band and chorus offer students a creative outlet, and several academic clubs, a student council and science and math competitions give students opportunities to develop leadership and critical thinking skills.

Horrible worst experience we've ever had in the public school system and when I share in the community about our experience others say they've either had a similar experience or have heard similar things.

More schools need to be able to have reviews given by parents. I would never recommend this school it's fairly a new school and the teachers do not know how to handle a child with severe adhd.

My child has had one of the worst years of their life. They have gone from straight As to straight Fs. There is so much homework that my child cannot keep up. We have no way of knowing how to help because parents have zero access to assignments/projects that are due. There is constant bullying that...

On a scale of 1-10, again, in the negatives. As the other parent commented about Jess Hutchinson, who has sinced moved to another school, I believe, Justin Thomas has certainly NOT been an improvement, possibly worse (I can't compare the 2 fairly since I have no personal experience with Jess Hutchin...
