We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Crayton middle school is fine. I am a student there. I'd say that the diversity is pretty good and so is some of the staff. There's a ton of fights though so yeah. I guess the administration is good. The food however is terrible and really disgusting.

If you have the choice, DO NOT send your child here unless you want them to be bullied, exposed to sexual behavior far above their ages, exposed to drugs and vaping, and have the administration do nothing about it.
