Read what parents are saying about Washington ElementaryThis is an amazing school and I believe the rating is dated. We live a block away from an elementary that is a deserved 9 (our other child attended) and we drive 15 min every morning so our child can attend this school instead. Its project based STEAM learning is fantastic. The staff is incredible. The leadership engaged. The parents are diverse and involved. So happy our child has the opportunity to be here.

Posted by a principal on 11/9/2023This is our neighborhood school and it is a gem: equity-focused, hands-on learning, very little homework, engaging curriculum, pretty little campus right downtown. My kids were previously at a high-pressure East Sacramento school, but they are learning so much better at Washington and enjoy school so much more. Very happy we made the jump.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI worked here for 8 months as the 1st grade assistant teacher and the kinder enrichment program leader. My experience was nothing but enjoyable as the staff and management were very kind, supportive, respectful, and professional. Materials were plentiful for teachers and the school would order anything else needed for the class. There was lots of room for growth/promotion within the school for myself and others. Management is flexible with time off, offers good benefits, and offers plenty of support and encouragement.Teacher Review1y ago - Sacred Heart Elementary School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI would give this school 0 stars in all categories if I could. What you’re reading in the negative reviews is sadly true. First, the lower grade teachers are very young and highly inexperienced; they simply do not have the skill set to manage these kids - especially if you do not have a child that perfectly fits the mold. HIGH turnover. Classes are big, loud, and teachers have little control over the chaos. Unless your child is perfectly compliant and willing to sit in silence with their hands clasped the entire day, you may get by. ZERO resources and/or willingness to support a child with learning differences - they are deemed a disruption to the classroom and will be forced out. There is no school counselor, no music, no regular foreign language, and the art program is laughable. The school puts all of their energy and effort into school fundraisers, and next to zero towards building a stronger academic program or resources for the kids. LOOK ELSEWHERE!!!Parent Review4w ago
