While this school does have lots of fun events, there are many issues with this school. This school teaches at such a slow pace it puts kids behind their peers and doesn't let them grow at the pace they need. There are no resources available to kids below second grade who excel academically to further themselves and not get bored. There are very limited academic resources for those in second grade and beyond. I would highly recommend going elsewhere if your child excels academically. You can try to petition to go to Old Town Elementary for the resources available there, but there is no guarantee you will get in. Old Town Elementary does have the resources available to help students who excel and teach kids at the pace they need to succeed, whether ahead or behind.Additionally, Viola Rand has no true gymnasium, it is combined with the cafeteria and rarely used for gym class. Recess is taken away on gym days in the winter and stormy days mean walking quietly in the halls.
