Read what parents are saying about Kathleen Elementary SchoolI had both my boys in this school. Hands down the best school and teachers. We moved and had to change school. I miss the teachers and friendly office staff. Never had any problems unlike the new school. Thank you Ms Tatom great school, wish the new school was better
Posted by a parent on 3/13/2017Be careful with this school. I've pulled both of my children out for different reasons. Their advanced program, Alpha, is only a part-time solution, leaving intelligent children bored. They "teach to the tests." Car riders have to endure further test prep after school, before being allowed to head to their parents car. Although the guidance counselor seems to genuinely care about the students, he is part of a small minority. The principal (Ms. Tatom) is about as fake and career-oriented as you could ever possibly imagine, there to further her career, not to help create successful students (just good test takers...have to keep that "A" rating). The worst experience was the brutality of the bullying my youngest endured. He was kicked, punched, slapped, pushed down, and more...all in P.E. The verbal torment left him in tears and he began to withdraw and have anger issues. Even with marks left on him at times, he was still left around the bullies, who never seemed to be punished. Neither of my children attended the school past 3rd grade. No 6-8 year old should be bullied in a place that is supposed to have "zero tolerance" for bullies.
Posted by a parent on 1/26/2017I volunteer, and have a child there as a student. There are multiple behavioral issues that go unattended. Several dollars go into the school for classroom aides, bit few have them. It seems for the am o nut of money going into it, the students during the regular school year are not getting what they need. Yes, they have great summer school programs, as well as fun summer programs, bit lack what students need to be successful the rest of the school year.
Posted by a parent on 5/12/2015My Son has been going to Kathleen Elementary since he was in K, he is in 3rd grade. He loves the school and does very well. His teachers have all been fantastic and two of them still keep in touch with him. The principal is wonderful, she is there taking pictures and being very involved during events such as student success nights. Great Country school with great education to offer.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school does not believe every child deserves an equal education. Its so sad to see so many educators not care about kids just the test scores and high rating. They try everything they can to push out low income families or children with disabilities behavior or learning.Parent Review3y ago - Dr. NE Roberts Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son studied in ESE from first grade to 5th grade at NE Roberts and his teachers were wonderful, especially Miss Graham and Miss Bruzek. Our daughter is now in 4th grade and has been in NE Roberts since Kindergarten. She has been a straight A student and scored a Level 5 on both FSA tests in 3rd grade. Her teachers have been great so far.Parent Review1y ago - Sleepy Hill Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy kids are car riders and currently go to this school. The school faculty that direct the vehicles through the line are absolutely the rudest. I have had some really pleasant interactions as well but mostly over the phone. The people in the office tend to have the same grouchy attitude as the people in the pick up/drop off line. There are exaggerated motions of me needing to move my vehicle while my children are actively boarding or leaving my vehicle. And they yell at us to move when I get one of my sons and the other is still on his way. My 8 year old told a faculty member to have a good day when he left and she replied “no not today” like she couldn’t be bothered to tell him to have a good day as well.Parent Review2y ago - Saint Anthony Catholic School
