Stockdale Elementary School

This school isn't what everyone around here makes it out to be. It hasn't been great since Dr. Irving left. Academically, it was ok. Some teachers are really good and attentive. Some will tell you your child has a learning disability because they have trouble grasping a certain subject. Bullying is not taken seriously at this school, not with the previous principal or the current, despite the administration telling you that they do everything in their power to ensure students feel safe. Both the principal and assistant principal will call your child and any complaints "petty." They just do everything they need to do to cover their own behinds in case you go to the district or sue. Yard aides are mean. Some teachers are nice, but most are biased towards and show favoritism to students whose parents they are friends with. Some teachers also gossip about students to other parents, which I find unethical, unprofessional and an invasion of student privacy. The moms who ran the parent club while my children were there were all catty, gossipy and pretentious. Parents also have a huge sense of entitlement. They don't follow parking lot/drop off rules because that's what Seven Oaks people do, apparently. The current principal will also not fight for your students or even push up against the district. Not even a little. You're better off homeschooling your kids or heading over to Highgate where I hear the principal is more assertive.

Having been a proud attendee of Wayne Van Horn Elementary School and a resident of the local community for over 20 years, I can wholeheartedly affirm the exceptional quality of education and nurturing environment this school offers. The dedicated staff and teachers at Wayne Van Horn have consistently demonstrated a deep commitment to fostering both academic excellence and personal growth in their students. The curriculum is thoughtfully designed to cater to diverse learning styles, ensuring that each student receives the attention and resources they need to thrive. Furthermore, the school's emphasis on inclusivity and community involvement has greatly contributed to a vibrant and supportive atmosphere. As an alumnus, I am continually impressed by the school's ongoing efforts to adapt and improve, ensuring that it remains a cornerstone of our community. Wayne Van Horn Elementary is more than just a school; it's a place where young minds are nurtured to become the leaders and innovators of tomorrow.

Awesome school my kids love it there. My son reads at a 4th grade level while being in third grade. The teachers do an amazing job at helping them with academics, they are also so attentive with parents and telling us what we can do to help our kids at home.

My daughter was attending another school previously where she was getting bullied and it was not being handled in a way that made her comfortable to go to school. She didn't want to go to school anymore or do any of the work. We moved to a neighborhood near Hart elementary and this school was assigned to her since our address changed. Since going to Hart she has been more motivated to go to school and anyone who seems to bother her even a little is addressed right away. The teachers communicate right away when I bring something up and address any concerns I have. This school is great! It reminds me of when I was growing up and schools were safer and more communicative when things happened. My daughter is so much more happier being at this school than her previous school and I am happy with how Hart's staff handle things.

My little cousin got pushed to the ground and busted her chin and lip open and this school didn’t do anything about these Two girls bullying her , im disappointed I thought this school was a great school for kids
