my boys go there and they love the school one just went to the 5 and i have to that go there know and they are in the 3 and we love all of them

I have had two children complete JW Adams and I have one currently in JW Adams. This is one of the best elementary education schools in the area. My children are intelligent and we do work with them at home. The two children that completed JW Adams moved into high school at a very high level was actually able to start college classes in high school. Both have graduated highschool with an advanced degree. My youngest is following in the same pattern. I feel like the staff and teachers care about the individual students and make their best effort in their education. There are several parents bring their children from other school districts just to attend JW Adams.

Our children have had great experiences at Union Primary. The teachers and staff love our kids and work with us to make sure they enjoy school and are excited to be there.

St. Paul Elementary is one of the best schools I’ve ever had the pleasure of being associated with. From day one, my children have been welcomed, loved, and supported by both their teachers and the current administration. I initially had reservations about transferring schools because of rumors I had heard regarding the administration, but I can honestly say I have not witnessed or experienced any of the issues that had previously been mentioned.Dr. Dickenson is excellent at what she does. She holds high standards and genuinely wants what is best for all students. Constructive criticism and accountability are part of any successful school environment, and educators should always be willing to put students’ needs first. As a parent, I depend on teachers and administrators to make the best decisions for my children when I am not there.I am a strict parent myself, and I firmly believe that high expectations produce strong outcomes. The results speak for themselves. Success rarely comes without structure, discipline, and consistency. At this time, I truly have nothing but positive things to say about St. Paul Elementary and the direction the school is headed in. Could that change in the future? Absolutely. But based on my family’s experience so far, we have been very pleased.

The administration at this school has nothing better to do than report false allegations about parents who aren't friends of friends. If they are concerned about a student, they would rather call social services and pull little kids into the principle's office; asking them questions which have nothing to do with their health and well being. A bunch of busy body old hags with nothing better to do. How about talking with the parents? Novel concept I suppose.
