Freese Elementary School

Don't bring your kids here. The school does not care for its students. My niece was bullied out of school she was being harassed by a male student for a year. School did not do anything about it. Teachers and staff knew they proceeded on punishing her multiple times they switched her out of class where the bully stayed with no consequences for him and kept on harassing her during recess and lunch alongside with other kids. Still the school did not do anything about it, the staff seems friendly. It's all a face. It's about their image and how they proceed to the parents of the students but behind the curtains. They really don't care about your kids I went to the school when I was in elementary school and none of this would have been tolerated. Audubon elementary School does not care about your kids safety. DONT BRING YOUR KIDS HERE SCHOOL DOES NOT DO ANYTHING FOR BULLYING!

Dr. Pham’s leadership over the past handful of difficult years has transformed Boone Elementary into a nurturing space for children to thrive. Faculty do their best to teach and mentor with the resources at hand, and while parents aren’t as engaged in this community as others I’ve seen, overall students are setup to succeed at this school.

The secondary academic director does NOTHING for bullying. Many students have been bullied relentlessly yet only teachers try to change. When brought to the directors attention she claims there is no bullying and victims are the ones who are wrong! Parents are never informed about conflicts with students and the secondary director Ms. S only brings it up when parents confront her.

So far it's been a very good school and I like the fact that it's a K through 8 school where I can keep all my kids together for a couple of more years. Also if you have a young or maybe small 6th 7th or 8th grader that you feel is not quite ready to go to a big Middle School this is a great alternative. My middle school child receives homework but I don't think he is bombarded with it the way he would probably be in a traditional Middle School setting. Bethune is much smaller and teachers really get to know your child.

Not sure why other reviews are negative but my son goes currently goes to Avondale and he loves it. Hasn’t had a single issue with the school. Nor have I. Teachers are wonderful, lunch is free, he is learning a lot and everyday he comes home he is telling me something new and exciting they did. Avondale is one of the top 10 schools in the LMSV school district so I’m not sure why the other reviews are so low. I’m very pleased my son goes to Avondale.
