This is my 9th year teaching, but 1st year at Anthem. I have never felt so unwelcomed anywhere in my life. The administration does not support teachers. There is a ton of bullying going on and no consistent discipline. I was on the discipline committee and we only met once, at the beginning of the

I never once received a compliment from the administration about the teaching I was doing. I know I do a good job. I work my butt off every single day for these kids. But it'd be nice to be recognized by those in charge. I will not be teaching at this school next year and I will not send my students to this school. Read less

My son has attended Anthem School for 4 years and I have found 2 teachers who are true professional educators as well as 2 teachers and a school nurse that should be accountants!

My daughter attended Anthem for 8 years and was on the principals list 29 grade periods. Now she attends Boulder Creek and feels like she was equipped well for high school having attended Anthem Elementary.

Although the leadership within the school has improved slightly in the 4 yrs my children have been attendingThere is also a select group of parents who give of the impression that it is only their involvement that matters, while most parents, to the delight of staff, students, and all other parents,
... Read more are thrilled to be involved in their children's academic careers. PTSA meetings should never be held between 9 and 11 am! It is wonderful that there are finally some after school activities, ie drama, that are not sports related and do not contribute to the national debt. Teachers care a lot. Problems are more w/No Child Left Behind restrictions and teaching towards testing rather than towards student growth, not the educators' faults. Overall Thanks ANTHEM! Read less

I have a first and second grader at this school. My second grader has 29 children in his class. I find this unexceptable. There seems to be no place for the child who is not in the 'normal' range. Both my children are above average and they are not given anything more challenging the what the class

We are switching schools to one that will challenge them even though they might not be 'gifted'. The principal is NOT engaged with parents or students for that matter. Not impressed with him at all. This school has the potential to be a great school, but for some reason they just cannot get there. Read less
