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.

Overall my experience within the school has been great. At first I was hesitant in assisting the school due to the stereotypes an IT school has, but now that I'm at my senior year I can confidently say that my time at Crooms was enjoyable.

The best part about crooms is the teachers and student enviroment. The teachers I had the experience of having was an overall good experience. Most of them where friendly, bonded with the students and taught their subjects well. And the students were friendly for the most part, compared to the other schools we have a better student enviroment as every student wants to be there. But the bad part is that we are not very sports orientated as a school. So other schools have us beat in that aspect.

The best part about crooms so far has been meeting new people and the built in family when you join a sports team. The worst part about crooms, they don't have as many programs as other schools that students might want to join if they attend this school.

My son did so well here and turned out to be an awesome young man!! I love this school. My son was more than ready for college. This school is the best to be free but you gotta get in while you can as they only accept so many students.

Unless the quality of education seriously declined since I graduated in 2012, Crooms remains the best school on the planet as far as I'm concerned. When I look back, I think of fond memories and great friends; people who to this day I still stay in contact with. It taught me so much, and I'm ever gr...
