Shenandoah Elementary School

My son’s academic growth has been excellent here but as we are here for longer I’m starting to see personally and hear from others about some negative experiences. In first grade I literally never received a positive comment regarding my son but got short negative comments home frequently. It wasn’t until I reached out for a conference that I told how much he was excelling and that his behaviors were actually not that bad. From what I was told in these notes I would have thought he was disrupting class constantly. He had started thinking of himself as a bad kid, even though I had never received any negative comments on his behavior previously. I’ve also seen and spoke with other parents about negative behavior from some teachers - including yelling, bullying or belittling comments. Shenandoah has many wonderful attributes including many great teachers and offerings with extended day program, as well as teachers who go above and beyond to create amazing afterschool events and opportunities for the kids. The SRO knows every child by name and I have no concerns about my child’s safety. It’s just that my view has become less glowing as I see more of the daily behaviors of some teachers.

GOOD SCHOOL we help our kids there home work and teachers do care about the kids we are happy

In my experience, All the staff are willing to help you with questions, never trying to avoid you , Very organized school in the morning and evening ! The ESE team program is great , they have a lot help , the ESE kindergarten teacher is an excellent teacher Ms Campos! I’m so grateful for them.

I went to this school and it is great

They have an Exceptional Student Educational team for the students that need them. The last school grade was an "A" from the year 2018-2019. They have been doing a good job with the students. The parents should find a series of books for their student to read during the summer. Let them create some artwork to go with it. Also, review all the math that they learned for the year so they are ready when the next school year starts. You will be happy!
