To any parent or guardian reading this if you plan on sending your children to this school it will be one of the worst mistakes you would make, the teachers are rude and disrespectful to the kids, the staff members don’t listen and when one of my friends reported a crime that was going to happen the
Posted by a student on 6/5/2025So, I would've give two stars for effort but the reason I'm giving three stars are because of the people I've met (like friends). Most teachers don't really encourage you, they just instruct you and if they do encourage you it'll most of the time be in a rude way you know? I've actually heard some t
Posted by a student on 12/12/2022This school is a complete mess police come every week because staff or teachers can't control their students. Kids have been fighting, crowds and way worse but don't even think it would let me say it but I don't even know if you should bring your kids but teachers are great there (so are not) but th

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWith the exception of one teacher and the principal—and that's being generous—the rest of the school staff are incompetent, to say the least. From micromanagement and lack of integrity to extreme rudeness in the administration office, they fail in multiple areas. They neglect the school, as demonstrated when a tree branch nearly harmed some kids, and allow parents to drive recklessly in the mornings. Meanwhile, gatekeepers keep children waiting at the gate for 10 minutes if they're just one minute late. This school is a complete mess.Parent Review1y ago - Vena Avenue Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have a daughter (2nd grade) and a son (pre-K) in this school, and so far, I’ve had no problems. In fact, the teachers are very responsive when I notify them, and so far the teachers my children have had have been wonderful. One of my children has a learning disability and they are giving her the resources to keep moving forward with her learning. The new principal is very engaging and has brought in new ideas to improve attendance and the drop off situation. It’s definitely improving.Parent Review1y ago - Branford Grove
