ALEXANDER Plan in Everett Ridge Overlook by Drees Homes
Independence, KY 41051

The vibes are very tense. Teachers are awesome, for the most part, def a few bad apples xD. Some of the other students give me the major creeps, which makes the school environment much less dope. History teachers unfortunately love dad jokes :/ Overall pretty good experience, classes are pretty easy but also challenging you in the way they should. Students are very cliquey, no one seems to branch out it's kinda like High School Musical. People actually dance on the tables at lunch too, but more like the dance in "Saturday Nights Alright" in Rocketman, where you think they're dancing but they're actually just fighting. Multiple times we've been leaving school and gotten stuck behind a fight.

I am a current student at this school, and this school is amazing! The teachers here are always concerned about students performance, absences, and safety, and always motivate us to learn and grow more. They explain topics in a fun, engaging way, making it easier for us to learn new things and to do better on Formative Assessments and state testing. We also have firm expectations, from proper dress codes to a cell phone policy to keep every individual safe. At our school, we always take bullying and harsh statements seriously. The principals and the counselors are excellent, and they will always provide help when needed.We are always reminded about fire, earthquake, tornado, and violent individual drills so that we will always stay safe. There are plenty of cameras throughout the building that the office watches at all times. Buses also have security cameras inside to monitor students. There are also cameras in science classrooms due to experiments that happen throughout the year.*The amount of homework at this school is decent and tolerable. Many teachers at this school say that there will be days where he/she will hand out homework, but just as long as you get your work done on time, you will not have anything to do that night.*Overall, this school has given and will continue to give me the best experience from support, motivation, and academic excellence. I highly recommend this school.

I can't find anything negative to say about White's Tower; my daughter loves going to school everyday. When my daughter (and other students) was deemed an advantaged student, the guidance counselor and her teacher met with me to have a conversation about skipping a grade or accelerating her education with the next year's coursework. My daughter and many other students were on the new cusp of Kindergarten cutoffs. This school hired a teacher with a Master's in Gifted Education to accommodate them! I didn't think I would be worrying about college so soon but my daughter wants to be a Pediatric Orthopedic Surgeon now! There's a reason White's Tower Elementary is the highest rated elementary school in the district (and third in all Northern Kentucky counties). It's also pretty cool that Mr. P. cares so much about his students, his faculty and the families involved.
