Savoy Elementary School

I love this school. My teachers answer all my questions. They are responsive to my needs. The staff is supportive and they encourage us every morning. Buying uniforms was affordable. They were $5.00 for my daughter. The Principal is Awesome she rocks every morning standing outside with her staff greeting all the babies. I love this school. Thanks cedar tree.

I have had three grandchildren graduate from pre-K thru grade 5. 5 more still attend and will graduate from this school all are academically above grade level

This school is very brilliant mydaughter went here for 5 years and she hasn’t had any problems if she didn’t know how to do the work teachers would help she would stay after school and get help and if there were any problems teachers would make sure it would be resolved so there wouldn’t be any ruckus.

I give this school a zero because aint no hero's.

This school is just basic. The principal in this school needs to get on her job. Last year, 2015-16 school year, was my daughter first time attending this school. My thoughts were that once she got accepted they were going to give you an open house where you could meet the teacher and learn more about the school and know which day was the first day. Nope, I was all wrong! I had to hound them down and call the cooperate office just to get a call back. Once I got a call back they told me that there was no open house and if I wanted to I could come and meet the teacher. I ended up going and really liked her teacher. During the school year I realized that when a teacher was out for a day they did not replace the lost teacher so it was just one teacher in the classroom with twenty five 4 year olds. Shame on the principle!!!!Also, trying to talk to the principle was like trying to meet with the president of USA. The receptionist would always say she's busy or she's in a meeting. How many meetings could you possibly have? She just seem like she didn't want to be bothered. I felt like the administrative staff judged and grouped us in a stereotypical category, like we were all ghetto and was just complaining. Now fast forward to this school year, 2016-17, one and a half week from the start of the school year still no call about an open house or a meeting with the teacher. They are too unorganized and lazy for me.

My son has been enrolled at dc prep Anacostia for 4 years. He has grown tremendously. I think it is an underrated school. The teachers and administration are highly invested in helping each child reach their potential. Here is where the problem lies- parents of kids. A significant cohort of parents who bring their negativity and attitudes to school everyday. Its sad thing to witness. The kids are the ones who are impacted and it is most frustrating thing about school. also lack of diversity is an issue but that’s a larger issue across the city. All students lose when they don’t have racial ethnic diversity. With all that said, dc prep is wonderful. Lots of positives. Always downside to every institution. Each parent she weigh factors that matter to them and visit.
