6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI wouldn't recommend this school to anyone. My child had horrible experiences multiple times except for the 5 th grade when she was lucky with the best teacher. Her fourth grade was traumatic. The teacher went beyond limits and passed demeaning comments about my whole family even she knew we were helping a sick child at home. In parent conferences she even targeted families of color and shared only what my child couldn't do. As a highly qualified and licensed sped teacher my self, I confronted this behavior and escalated to the principal who simply acted without any empathy and said it's between teacher and families. It was so surprising that the principal deflected her responsibility and expected families to deal with teacher's demeaning and inappropriate behaviors ourselves. My family is happy and my kids are thriving after we exited the school.Other Review4mo ago - Henry E Warren Elementary School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHenry Warren Elementary is an excellent school. The teachers are passionate and engaging with the students. Kindness, respect, and safety are integrated into everything they do. The teachers are responsive and organizations. Many are dual trained in special ed which is well intergrated into the school.Parent Review5y ago - Ashland Middle School
