Our family loves Washington Elementary. The classrooms are small, the staff is loving and so happy to be there, and the community really actively supports families in Mount Vernon. The PTO is excellent and even though there has been some turnover with principals I have found the staff to be very professional and helpful consistently during our time here. We have nothing but good things to say about Mount Vernon schools. Perfect place to raise a family.

I agree and disagree. The class sizes are a very good sizes for learning. There does need to be more language options and more electives for a broader set of students. But the principal is very good. He is very active with the students and gets to know all of their names before the end of their Freshman year. The campus should not be closed. It should be a open campus for kids who want to eat food from the local; Subway, Gary's, Dairy Queen, Hardee's, or Casey's General Store. It also lets the students feel more free and mature. With that said only a few students will take advantage of this anyways. Most of the teachers are good with a few exceptions that we have had trouble with being too biased or discriminating towards specific groups of kids. Their biggest priority is to not waste their money like they tend to do and invest it in more classes like; language classes, computer science classes, and varied math classes.
