I have been to all elementary schools in Scott County and have dealt with all principals. In my opinion, SES principal Mrs. Neibert is doing a very good job. No one considers what it actually takes to be a principal. It is not just the 8am to 3 pm most people think. Mrs. Neibert stresses more importance

The teachers at Scottsburg Elementary are wonderful! Unfortunately our principle and vice-principle are not so wonderful. This is supposed to be a school with 0 tolerance on bullying. I think the teachers believe in that but I can't say the same for the principle.

I have lived in Scott county for 5 years. I have one son that made it thru SES perfectly. I could not ask for more wonderful teachers. The very best one was his 2nd grade and 4th grade teachers. I never had a problem. Then My daughter starts 1st grade 7 weeks into the school year they want to take her

All they know is that it is their way or you can go to another school. They do not care about these kids or about the parents. Please if you are thinking of moving to Scott County, put your kids in the Austin School District. Please know that this is not the teachers. Its our board members and our princible. Read less

I have one child who attended this school and is now in Middle School and currently have a child in kindergarten. I never had any trouble with faculty, but always requested a teacher I knew would provide quality instruction. There is favortism when it comes to requesting teachers- one is supposed to

Certain people who are in a higher economic status never indicate a second choice on the form and still receive the teacher requested. In a small town, those who own businesses, have money, etc. do receive special treatment. Academic wise, my Middle School student was prepared. Personally, I don't think any schools in this county prepare a child for an intense college curriculum. Read less

This is my son's first year and his teacher, Mrs. Busick, is wonderful! I have not personally met the principal, but my husband doesn't have anything nice to say, so I'll leave it at that. The person registering the students gave my husband a dirty look after finding out that we have 4 children. I have

I was recently doing research on my childs school when i found out about www.greatschools.net and I just wanted to say i agree 100% with the other two reviews on the school. I believe the teachers are excellent, but the principal is one of the most snobbish and rudest people that I or my child has ever
... Read more met. My child come home one day and had big elbow burns from the blacktop on the playground. He/She immediately said that another child had pushed her down. I asker he/she if there was any displinary action and they said no. I believe that Scottsburg Elementary is in desperate need of a new principal because bluntly this one is a snobbish, rude lady who will not take disciplinary action toward the wrong. She does not believe in punhishment so to speek, and I am just about fed up with and move to another school. Read less

I agree highly with the other parents review, the principal is very snobby and can be very rude. Both of my children attended SES and were lucky to have great teachers. Depending on what teachers you have there will depend on the responses you get from them (them being the teachers). I am a past student
... Read more of SES and know a lot of the teachers and they are great teachers! Unfortuantely the principal and vice principal are not of the same quality. The principal here does not believe in any form of punishment. I have heard rumors from the middle school that most of the problem children come from SES. My advice to any parents of new students is this, if you want to see any changes or to be more involved with the school then please join the schools PTA. Read less

This was my childs first year in this school..And i found the principal to be very snobby and not very caring or helpful...The teachers (probably not true for all teachers but the one my child had) don't seem to really care about the childrens grades or parents concerns. The only parental involvement
... Read more i was offered the entire year was to purchase things to bring to school like for fundraisers or class parties. But never invited to participate. In comparison from the school district we came from to this one it was definately not an improvement. I don't like to go into a school system where it is all about who you are. It doesn't make it equal. We are not high class but we definately are not ranked in the low class. But treated poorly here. Overall treat our children as equals. Noone person is better than another.
