My child has attended this school for the last two years to include Kindergarten and First Grade. Both teachers and the Teacher Assistants were outstanding and caring. They spent the time to get to know my son and what learning style worked best for him and tried to accommodate. They communicated

Anderson staff sent home a request for input regarding how safe we felt the school was and what, if any, suggestions we had for improvements. The school is always clean and the cafeteria offers good food at a reasonable price. The staff has always been friendly to our family and I have never seen them treat anyone in a rude or unprofessional manner. I also love the fact that they have staff and students outside in the mornings to help get the children out of the vehicles when they are dropped off. Read less

I think this has to be one of the worst schools I have ever had my children in. There were times I had to go inside the school to pick up my children and felt sick to my stomach because the bad attitudes from faculty and staff. My children suffered greatly educationally and emotionally at this school.
... Read more I'm still in this district and refuse to send them back. When your child is picked on in front of the class, teachers never respond, and the overall attitude is bad, how could they learn. Without my help and family my children would have been left behind. The clicks and attitudes are just horrible. I'm so glad to be able to give my kids a second chance at a better education elsewhere. Read less

The staff at Anderson has been supportive in every way. The administration has an open door policy and I have always been able to talk about any topic with the principal. I was surprised to see the other reviews and I guess they were venting because of something that did not go their way. But in my experience

I am extremely disappointed in many of these reviews. Most of the teachers here, including myself, care a great deal about our students. We're not doing it for the money.

I'm shocked to see some of these responses. I have had 2 children at Anderson since it opened as Carolina Beach School and I've never had a concern regarding staff or administration. One of my children has special needs and an IEP. From time to time there are issues that need to be addressed for him,
... Read more but these are never things that are at fault from the teachers. As kids grow and change then their needs change as well. I have always found the staff to be more than confident and friendly. If I could change one thing about the school it would be the size (which is obviously not something anyone can fix). I liked the smaller school we used to attend in Carolina Beach. Anderson is such a large and busy school. Read less

I have 2 children at this school and we are very happy. Our teachers have been accessible, caring, and well qualified. We have had no problems scheduling conferences with our teachers, the principal or the assistant principal. The PTA is very active in the school and provides many additional resources
... Read more for the school which are desperately needed. This school, like many others in the county, is understaffed and over-crowded. If I had one complaint, it would be the lack of sufficient staff for intervention and enrichment programs. Other schools have science and math enrichment (and we don't) and other schools have adequate staff to provide intervention for all students that need it, not just some. The teachers are doing their best, but they need more resources from the County. Read less
