Juan Crespi Middle School is located in El Sobrante Valley just
southeast of Interstate 80 off of Appian Way. The school was built
in 1966. Although the majority of the student population resides
in the El Sobrante Valley, many students come from the Contra Costa
College, Hilltop Mall and Montalvin residential areas. The economic
background range from those on public assistance to students from
upper middle class families. The school consists of seventh and
eighth grades.
The educational program is based on the traditional six-subject day. Students have the opportunity to participate in after school classes in journalism and yearbook. There is also a math and English tutorial program offered after school. There is a full range of special education and ELD services as well as the regular education program. GATE and advanced students are offered advanced English, history, science and foreign language classes. Juan Crespi Middle School is the only middle school in the district with a Junior National Honor Society.
We, the students, teachers, parents, administrators, staff and community of Juan Crespi, recognize that education is a cooperative endeavor and that all of us must play an active role in order to achieve success.
As an educational community, we are dedicated to reaching our full potential, and we believe that learning requires self-esteem, personal effort, mutual respect, a safe and orderly environment, adequate resources and clear goals.
Together we work to develop a rigorous curriculum, a variety of school activities, and a network of support services so that all students may achieve academic and personal success as they prepare to become lifelong learners and productive citizens in our democratic society.
