GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. 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.

Cross High is small. You walk in the school and just feel at home. It's just one big family. My children love it. The small class size allow for the children to receive more individual attention.

The school is a very good school. It is tiny but everyone there is family. The only downside to the school is that the teachers seem like they are scared of the students and they let the students walk all over the teachers. But that isn't just my school there are other schools out there that are like that. Now with COVID-19, the school is a lot better it quieter, you can get more work done, and there aren't as many bad kids as there were. It is a lot better this year but at the end of the day COVID will be over and all the students will be back at school and it will go back to the way it was. So let us keep our fingers crossed that they will mature more being at home for so long and that we will be able to get work done and have our class back to normal and that it all be normal again just without all the immaturity.

We get an education every day. Doesn't matter if our school is not as big as the others, the big schools distract their students from learning their lesson's.
