My son attends this school and having worked in education previously, I believe the school excels in many areas but also has some room for improvement. I believe most of the teachers and staff are genuinely invested in their students. However, it does feel from my perspective that there is a lot for teachers to manage that makes differentiation in the classroom challenging. A lot of the differentiation in work comes in difference of worksheets or tablet work but not with much instruction from the teacher. If a classroom is in need of extra hands, they’ll rotate in a support staff member but some of the students are really in need of a paraprofessional full time to help the classroom environment be safe and productive for everyone. My son’s teacher has even admitted that she hasn’t been able to do certain instruction with my son that she wanted too because she had her hands full with one other student who takes up a lot of her attention.I do like the events for families. The PTO and school do a great job at putting together ice cream socials, All Pro Dads, Book Fairs, Open Houses, Carnivals, etc. It’s a wonderful opportunity to see our children in their element! I also quite appreciate much of the safety precautions in place but do wish car line had more precautions in place to ensure children are getting in the correct vehicle such as matching tags or something of the sort. Also, there are often children running through the parking lot to get to school and in the hustle and bustle of drop off, an attendant in the front small parking lot could help ensure their safety.Overall, I believe the school is above average. I believe the faculty and staff do a great job with the resources available. My son does enjoy going to school and he has learned some great lessons.
