What means the most to me about the Craig School is the sense of community that I experience throughout the school. Everyone knows each other and everyone is willing to lend a hand when one is needed. The teachers provide great support and care when a student needs help. Overall, The Craig School helped me with my academics and self confidence. It is a wonderful school and I am grateful for my time there.

The Orton Gillingham structured literacy intervention is second to none. Amazing teachers who really teach students how to read, how to write, all while helping them learn more about who they are and what they are able to achieve.

The Craig School does a good job with reading education but is weak in other academic areas and is not a socially healthy environment. My child was bullied and the administrators did not respond to my concerns about bullying so we moved on after one year.

Meh. Get your kid out before 8th grade. Does not prepare kids for mainstream college prep high school.

My 10 year old son has been at the Craig school for only 5 months and his experience has been nothing short of amazing. He comes home every day happy and eager to do his homework. He is enjoying reading and has made several great friends. His confidence has soared as his reading comprehension and ov...
