Quail Run Elementary School

We’ve only been at this school for one year (1st grade). My son has major learning difficulties, so, I want to point out that it has a good special education team to better assist those children with learning difficulties. The front office is nice and helpful. However, other staff members are not that friendly. Overall, it is a good school. The academic ratings found on this website really make you wonder why they are so low at this school compared to the rest of the schools in the state. Let’s hope my son has another good year in 2nd second grade!

The amount of fights I have heard about are unbelievable. The fact that this school brushes bullying off like it's some excuse is awful. I seen so many kids get harmed from just attending to this school. Ever since I seen my child go to this school, they have been less engaged and they are now having eating problems because they are too stressed about being perfect just so they could meet the level that the teachers want them to be. They treat them horribly. An another reason why this school is terrible, is that ever since my kid transferred here, they started throwing up almost daily from the lunches here.

Im a freshman now. But when i was in elementary and intermediate , those was the best time of my lifee

This school hires teachers for their gifted education programs whose only experience with giftedness is having gifted children (as opposed to actually being gifted themselves), or having taken a minimal amount of training (which does not in any way equip them). Class sizes are extremely large. Teachers exercise minimal control over their classrooms.Ridiculous “project-based learning” assignments are handed out at the last minute, requiring parents to take significant effort to help their students complete in time. Minimal learning is accomplished as a result of these constant exercises in busywork.Bullying is rampant, out-of-control, and is tolerated and rewarded. Victims of violent bullying are blamed and made to feel that is their fault. School administration is grossly incompetent. Do not send your children here.

I’ve been a part of this school community for four years now, both as a volunteer and as a parent. I can’t say enough good things about the principal, the administration, the teachers, and the staff. The principal is incredibly professional and kind to everyone; he carries himself with such respect, and the students truly adore him. The front office staff is always welcoming, with smiles on their faces, and they’re always ready to help. The teachers are kind, respectful, and truly dedicated. They all work together as one cohesive team.My daughter is so fortunate to be at this school. She receives an outstanding education, along with the reading and speech therapy support she needs. I am so grateful to everyone here for their hard work and commitment to giving our children the best. Thank you all for everything you do!
