Crystal Lake Community Middle School

1 star is too many for this school. The only reason anyone goes here is to get an automatic seat at Pompano Beach High. Trust me when I say that your child will not be prepared for the rigorous curriculum at PBHS after attending Crystal Lake. One year at that school, and my childs FSA scores dropped & reading level dropped. Tremendously. Thank goodness for the competent teachers at the middle school across town where I moved my child. One quarter, and he is back on track from all of the damage done at Crystal Lake. If you are a 5th grade parent who is in the tough dilemma of deciding which middle school to send your child to, DO NOT choose this one. Do not fall for the jazzy shows and presentations this school does to entice you to apply for their magnet program. It was 100% false advertising.

Oh my God, why does depression and anxiety exist? That is exactly what I got from this school. This school also sadly gave me dark thoughts of doing something to myself. Look at my reasons below. Don't come here no matter what. If you want to learn a language learn Spanish in a classroom at school or if you want to learn French or Chinese theres an app called Duolingo to learn it. Whats the point of science magnet if theres a science class everyday anyway?

My daughter is in 8th grade in the IAB (language magnet-Spanish). She has done well in the program and we are thrilled that she will be continuing her education in Pompano Beach High School. The time at CLMS has gone so fast and we just applied today to high school!

Good good good good good good good good
