5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a student at Eliot hine currently. And this is the worst school I have been to. The principal and vice principal do not hold kids accountable. My friends and I have been harassed, assaulted, and bullied by other students here. And they do nothing about it! I got bullied here and my mom emailed the vice principal about it. And she didn’t do anything! Also I am quite sure there is a p3do working there. And they hired teachers that degrade their students. The math teacher I have gets upset at me for not knowing certain problems, even though the teachers don’t teach. They just make us watch videos about math and expect to do every problem that is difficult. And the new science teacher they hired is AWFUL. She is extremely strict and takes away student’s recess for the smallest things. Like being late or even just having your hood on during class. Barely any of the staff members actually care about the students and the situations they are dealing with at home. They do not help students either. Please do not send your child here.Other Review1y ago - Payne Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am a parent of a PK3 student. My husband and I could not be more pleased with Payne Elementary. The teachers are warm, engaging and professional. We are so impressed with the curriculum - my son's class has specialized weekly instruction in science and Spanish. Even at the early childhood education level, the students have access to enrichment activities in the after school program - this fall, the activities were soccer and "Joy of Motion" (yoga and dance). We are excited for our younger son to start at this school in a few years if he is able to get a space through the lottery!Parent Review6y ago
