A.E. Cross School | Calgary Board of Education

School is freaky. Cant imagine what happens in the changing rooms. There are things that are way better than elementary but.. improvement is NEEDED. Bathrooms smell like poo like always.nnWhat did you ppl do to the trash cans?? What did they do to you? #JUSTICEFORTRASHCANS.nnNo offence but. Some of you reviewers lowkey wack Saying stuff irrelevant to the school itself oml.. honestly no one gives a poo if some ppl are smarter or not just shush.

I love this school the students are super sigma and the teachers are amazing

This school is not the best school at all. On the first week at A.E.Cross school my child and her friend were already being bully and they didn't even call me to let me know but, they call the other parents i had to find out myself becauseof what my childwas doing to herself. My child was bullied because of her skin color, her hair, and body. So, to me, this school allows bullying and is full of racism. Even some of the staff members are racis, too. and the principal doesn't even call parents to let them know what's happening with their children.

It's not the worst school in the world and as I went there for 3 years I would know, but some of the kids can suck and the the teachers aren't very stable as I have had multiple long term subs in a year

It has gone downhill since the 2017-18 school year and continues to get worse, but there are indeed some amazing teachers that make it all worthwhile, balancing it out. I actually look forward to seeing those teachers. However, keep in mind that there is still a lot of bad. Just to inform you:nn* There is no longer performing arts or ANY factor of itn* Highly sports oriented school, however our mandatory PE program isn't the greatestn* A lot of bad apples at this school makes it kind of difficult to not follow in their footsteps. Be prepared for all sorts of jokes, stories and comments that would be XXX Rated.n* If you want to take band, start in grade seven and trust me on that.n* School trips are all VERY expensive, so if you're in grade seven and want to sail or go to band camp, start saving now. I'm not exaggerating.n* A lot of the teachers seemed terrible. They really did. However, just talk to them. Despite your brooding hatred, many of them are very likeable once you get to know them. I think it's just general advice- get to know your teachers. Many of them are quite forgiving if you decide to change for the better.n* Most of the humanities teachers are amazing and remarkable and do brilliant jobs. I think that's where AE Cross went right.n* Science and maths teachers- in grade seven and nine, they're all amazing; in grade eight, you're kind of stuck with average teachers sorry, grade eightnnThat's about everything I can list off the top of my head. It's very easy to make friends with a common interest here but trust me- focus on your work, not the boys talking about their money three seats to your left.nnOverall, kind of bad, but with a few of the greatest teachers I'll ever have the fortune to meet.
