(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - Crawford Elementary is a kind and caring school. Children are not numbers; they are treated as people with respect. The principal sets the tone and the loving environment and the teachers follow is lead. There is no better elementary school anywhere.

- I have to say that Crawford Elementary has been a wonderful school for my children. I have two 7 year old children, one of which has a lot of behavioral problems. Mr. Gotcher, the principal at Crawford has been exceptional when it comes to dealing with my children. He understands and loves all of the children at Crawford and I, as a parent could not ask for more. We actually do not live in the district for Crawford, but, we requested that our children remain in this school when we moved because we love it so much. Thank you for all that you do there. It is truly appreciated.

- Crawford Elementary school is a wonderful K-4 school. My granddaughter is a first grade student at Crawford and she is being challenged in her classroom daily which is extra word for her teacher since she reads on a third grade level. All of her specialty classes like art, music, computer lab, physical education, and science are also taught by great teachers who keep parents informed of what is going on in their programs. My granddaughter loves Crawford, and I feel like she is getting a first class educational experience.

- I have worked at a previous school before, and have never felt as welcomed as I do at Crawford Elementary. All of the teachers care for and are about their student's education! It is a welcoming and loving environment! Our prinicipal is also very involved in the classrooms as well as the school as a whole. If you are looking for a school in Russellville, this is the best school in town!!

(1 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - When my daughter was in 3rd grade I asked why they didn't have spelling and why her papers were never corrected with regards to spelling.The teachers answer was for me not to worry that in a few years my daughter would be using a computer with spellcheck! I wanted to ask what was the need for her job then!?? This is just the quality of education your child will receive in this school.
