I enjoy sending my son to this school, we have been here since my son was in the 3rd grade (now in 6th) and the growth that we have seemed is huge. This does put a large strain on everyone but over all they seem to be cooping. I am also excited about the new middle school that is being constructed
... Read more and look forward to my son moving over to it after winter break. As for the student to teacher ratio there are 127 students in the 6th grade and only 5 teachers so you do the math. Next year the school will be K-4 and that will help tremendously with space. When it comes to homework the key is which grade is your child in, 3rd and 5th have a lot of homework because they have ARMT testing, other than that the homework is not bad. Read less

People are coming here so their children can benefit from our culture, values and way of life. The people I grew up with do their best to accommodate the influx of folks seeking a better way.

White Plains Elementary Has really grown! I loved the school when it was smaller with only half the students. When you could actually eat lunch with your child more than once a month.

There's an enrichment program offered to these gifted children I guess to make them smarter, but no tutoring or extra help offered to make the average kids smarter.Whats the problem here? When a child works hours on end on homework each week and doesn't do good on a test, shouldn't that put up a red flag? And I think the homework is ridiculous! 4 and 5 hours a night? Read less
