Crown Point Elementary School

My son went to school here Kinder thru 5^th back in the day before it was a music academy. It was going to shut down IF it didn’t become some sort of charter school. So glad it didn’t shut down. He loved it here. Great experience for him and ME! Yay for Crown Point. Middle school at CPMA is a whole other story… run away from that school!

The park behind the school is a joint use park and you can take your dog here after hours. It’s a nice and spacious field with plenty of room to play! The only downside is the gate is padlocked to stay open so if your dog like’s to escape this may not be the place for you.

I went to Crown Point and then had the pleasure of working with their teachers a few years back. They are a phenomenally creative and dedicated staff. The small school is like a big family where everyone knows each other and works together in a caring and supportive environment. Families from all different backgrounds are welcome and the curriculum is superb. Teachers take the students on a lot of fieldtrips to bring learning alive and they build in all types of events to get parents involved and give kids a chance to present and perform. It’s a unique PB gem for sure. Yes, I’m definitely biased but go for a tour and see for yourself. Oh, make sure to meet the principal, she’s very friendly and hands-​on. She knows her stuff and has retained and recruited a world-​class staff.

There’s a park here that is locked up on weekends.
But I was naughty. I took my 4 year old goddaughter and we climbed the fence over the weekend and played in the playground here. It hurt like hell and I was really scared that I was going to ruin my Steve Madden flip flops or worse hurt my goddaughter or drop her lifting her over the fence… but I didn’t.
She had a blast. And I was happy that this school was able to help me provide her with a good memory with her Aunt D.
