Bunker Hill Elementary School

Overall the kids are fantastic. All families support each other and our teachers. Teachers seem to have a family like relationship but taking a deeper dive one would find that there are many issues beyond the walls that start from the top.

Our family is so grateful for Perry Street Prep/ From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel that it’s a safe, welcoming environment where every child is known and valued. The staff and teachers genuinely care—they know my child by name and take the time to understand their interests, strengths, and needs.

This is one of the best school that my son had attended. I am so sad that he will not be attending next year because we are moving. I would like to thank every teachers, staff, principal, vice principal, for making a great impact on my son life at John Burroughs. Also, I forgot to mention about the only establish STEM elementary school in the DC area. Thank you again for your support.

i am student that attends to this school i am in eighth grade and i would highly recommend this school we have a no bullying policy and we learn about the greats in which bullying takes place the teachers are right for the students .

The school has one of the best administrations in all of DC. They are responsive and accessible. They have very low teacher turnover and the academics are excellent. My daughter is equally fluent in Chinese and English and is excelling at math at a grade level above.

I left this workplace due to serious concerns about leadership, professionalism, and the overall safety of the environment. I experienced behavior from administration that made me feel deeply uncomfortable as a woman, and when I raised those concerns, I felt unsupported and that my work environment became increasingly hostile. Leadership lacks a clear vision for the school, which creates ongoing confusion among staff. Expectations are unclear, communication is inconsistent, and decisions are frequently delayed or left unresolved. As a result, the school is disorganized and poorly managed. There were also patterns of unprofessional conduct that raised concerns about student well-being. Important safety issues involving staff conduct were not addressed appropriately, contributing to a culture where concerns did not feel taken seriously. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this workplace to prospective employees or families looking for a safe, structured, and student-centered environment

The students and employees are there with enthusiasm and compassion to teach and learn. However, the Executive Director creates such a toxic environment that good teachers/leaders leave, are fired or are pushed out if they dare voice their own opinion that does not favor the Executive Director. I am blessed to be away from this toxic environment.
