I have enjoyed my time at Crestwood. All of my teachers were very polite and I have always felt welcomed in the environment. Throughout my years of high school, I have participated in things like FFA and Powderpuff. Personally, every student has been kind and accepting towards me. The school is great academic-wise but could improve on other things for student enjoyment.
