Sherrelwood Elementary School

This school has low ratings and I just don't understand why. This school is outstanding. My daughter who is in middle school this year is far above the other kids who came from other elementary schools and my youngest who was in the SSN department has amazing support. Ma y of the teachers have become close friends as well. This school supports in everyway possible and then some. The education is above par and the teachers really care. We live in the apartments close by, which is not the best neighborhood, but stayed for seven years only because of this school. I highly recommend it.

A lot of bullying goes on at this school, especially to the Caucasian students. Some teachers are also bullies. The middle school at teacher bullied my child. The principal is inapproachable. The atmosphere is horrible. There is no fun at this school. Art class is considered work. There were some excellent teachers and some horrible teachers..mainly the art teacher. This is not a safe place for Caucasian students.

The sped department has been combative and unsupportive, it is almost impossible to get your student tested. Students are mentally and emotionally traumatized by the staff. Parents are purposely silenced and complaints are literally refused. The school and the district need new administrators that actually care about the children and educating the children and teachers that actually teach instead of complain about their salary to the students during class. Even the receptionist at the front desk claims that she doesn't make enough money to check the main voice-mail box or return calls.
