There is no denying that Superior Elementary has very high and successful academic standards. My child has done very well there and I am pleased with that aspect of the school. My purpose here is to bring to the public's attention the pitfal that is the principal, Mary Hauserman. She seems well intentioned

Over the last 2 years she has let some of the best teachers in the school go based on her personal prejudices, what message is this sending to our children. Then she did not listen to the school community(even though she asked for imput) when filling the spots. I think moral is low and it needs to be watched carefully over the next year or two. Being a person in a minority, it is hard to sit back and watch her weed. Read less

Superior is a great school. Parents are extremely involved, and the teaching staff is excellent. It is so nice that we have such a great public school in our own back yard! My only complaint would be that I find some parents to be OVER involved, and I think that the school should encourage some

Superior Elementary is a fantastic school. The teachers are well qualified, motivated and energetic. They actually CARE!

Parent involvement is so high, that at many of the class performances and field trips the parents outnumbered the kids! There were nice extracurriculars such as the choir, chess club, drama, music, plays, talent shows, fitness club, etc. Sports is really most often a 'club' event - so I don't have much to say here. I would recommend it highly and without reservation. Read less

Amazing school, award winning teachers. Glad to be eliminating Core Knowledge and combining the BVSD curriculum. Rather crowded classes, but plenty of parental involvement so that the classes are never short of help. Fabulous Art and music programs. New leadership @ the helm. Good school

3 Of my children went to superior elementary school. Overall they enjoyed their experience. I did find one of the teachers did not take my concerns for my sons difficulties seriously so after futile efforts to change the situation I ended up withdrawing him.
