My overall experience is a good experience. Not the high school dream that I wanted but it was good, it had some bumpy spots. My best experiences was making a whole lot friends, being cool with teachers, and having fun with extracurriculars.The worst moments were the fights but it's calm now. I guess one thing that I want to see change is the school being less strict about the phone policy.

Crosby is overall not a school you want to go to most of the teachers couldn't care less about you. I've had a good amount of nice teachers my freshman year I was assaulted in a spot I wont say multiple kids threatened to hurt me my sophomore year there was a lockdown because a kid had a weapon the teachers were nothing but unhelpful and multiple kids were arrested for fighting speaking of the fights one kid was thrown down the stairs and other kids nearby started fighting for unknown reasons another kid was jumped by two people one of them stomped on his face one time two kids started fighting but it looked like they were roughly cuddling

They harass each other and act as if they are older than the staff. The staff do nothing to help eliminate bullies and...

Crosby High School is at the top 10 of worst schools in Connecticut. The reason? It's simple! The school struggles with technology and care. I am actually a good student but the dress code in here is too much for most students. Collared shirts and solid color pants are impossible to even obtain beca...

Send your kid to this school if you would like your child to: be harassed by teachers and faculty for breathing, not learn anything relevant to life with the exception of what an ineffective school looks like, not go to college, or not succeed in an facet of life. Crosby High School is an embarrassm...
