New Town

Over the past 15 years, I have been fortunate to have my children enrolled at SHES. The teachers and staff are exceptional, and I am confident that they prioritize my children's well-being and learning above all else. My children have formed strong bonds with their teachers, built on trust and respect. The school's commitment to keeping parents informed is impressive, and I am grateful for their prompt communication. I wholeheartedly recommend SHES.

This school review is a real challenge. The principal and some teachers overcompensate. In the area of allowing parent participation and control. There is limited parental evolvement. There are some fallacies that reflect that parents are encouraged to be around. For example, parents were once allowed in all grades to come and oversee a class and see how their child was doing. Thus this kind of vulnerability was a good thing. At this moment fear and distrust abounds. From a parent that has wanted to have more interaction there has been limited opportunities. My child further tells me the Principal is mean. I have heard her talk and offer her tone can come across as sharp and harsh. Whether she knows it or not. On a positive point the school seems to be becoming diverse which is a good thing. Those considering on having a child come to this school. Be aware of these observations. The education is not bad as far as learning. The overall grade of 5 is deserved and accurate per this parent’s observations.

Worst teachers. Teachers need to have patience to handle kids.
