My experience at Crestwood High has man ups and downs. I would like to see more activities that encourage students to participate and want to learn. I like the club activity and administration at the school.

Some best parts about the school is when everybody can come together and have fun school events without somebody or few people ruining it for us. It's a lot of good teachers that make it easy for us to learn by the way they explain and break down problems to us the way we can relate and understand. The worst parts is when they make it hard to learn and barely teach; wanting us to learn on our own. It mainly be the foreign teachers that come to the US, barely speak english, be hard to understand, that make it hard for us to learn.

Crestwood High School was a time to remember, from when I got there till I left. Playing football and running track were the most fun I've ever had and my teammates turned to my family. There was never a dull moment, from going to other sports games after practice to our own sold-out stadium games. I hope they continue to improve how they operate and keep people safe, while still being able to keep the entertaining factor of going to High School.
