Washington Shores Elementary School

My kids went here for 3rd and 4th grade and their teachers really care a lot for their wellbeing and success and education. My 4th grader needed additional help with some areas and his teachers really helped him improve on his level and made him feel happy and confident in his smarts! They both loved the activities and talking with their teachers and interacting with their friends and teachers and staff at the school. Here they really do care for your kids! Shout out to Mrs.Johnson, Mrs. Burgos, Mrs.Williams and Dr.Jones!

Whole child education with teachers and administration that truly care about each student on campus.

My family and I were very disappointed with our experience when trying to schedule a school tour. As Deaf parents, we simply asked The First Academy to provide an American Sign Language (ASL) interpreter so we could fully understand the information being shared during the tour. Despite multiple emails and opportunities to reconsider, the school declined to provide an interpreter.Instead, we were told to rely on written communication, tablets, and “extra time,” which are not effective or equitable substitutes for real-time ASL access. This does not provide meaningful communication for Deaf adults, especially during an important process like evaluating a potential school for our children. We were also told we could “bring our own interpreter,” which shifts the burden of accessibility onto families rather than meeting basic inclusion standards.We left the interaction feeling that the school was not prepared to support the communication needs of Deaf parents. Accessibility should not be optional, and it should not depend on families paying out-of-pocket to participate.I hope the school takes this feedback seriously and re-evaluates its approach to serving Deaf and hard-of-hearing families in the future.

Very unprofessional and untrustworthy ! Releases students to people not on the list and then threatens to arrest the actual guardian upon arriving to the school.. hope you guys are satisfied because you are now one of the reasons a little girl is gone
