Florine J Abel Elementary School

My Grandson is thriving at this school only problem was with the teacher switch, constant contact by his teacher keeps us informed on his progress and any problems he may of had that we could work on at home, this school has a lot of diversity, Kudos to the teachers and staff that bravely show up everyday during a epidemic to not only teach our children but keep them safe, wash their hands, disinfect work areas make sure they keep their masks on Etc;

My son has been failing and doesn’t event get homework so he can be helped. Teacher dose not communicate. We can’t sit in class to know what is even being tough while the teacher states he’s doing good but failing on his report card.

The staff at Daughtrey have a compassion for the students and safety is number one priority!!!

Para mí ha sido una experiencia muy bonita con esta escuela muy buenos maestros, preocupados y muy buena dirección

We love Center Montessori. Our two children have attended this school since age 2. I, myself, is an alum of the school and love the hands on Montessori approach to learning. Center Montessori fosters my children’s independence and nurtures their growth academically and socially. We have also benefitted from the free and paid seminars about parenting, which has helped in our household immensely! We cannot sing enough praise for the school, we feel so lucky to have them help raise and educate our children.

The best part of this school is that its not public education. The curriculum is good and the school has an excellent music program for a small school. However, most teachers are under educated and not qualified to work with students. Discipline is not supported by the administration and teachers often do not have he tools to control their classrooms. Unfortunately bullying is a major issue at this school. Especially for new students that have not grown up in the church or part of the in crowd. The administration is very poor at communicating and are very closed when it comes to meeting with parents and addressing any concerns. Basically, not approachable. The previous administration, from several years ago, was excellent. Recent changes in the last several years has brought a lower education standard and negative environment for students and parents. The school will put on a nice show when its time for evaluation, then change their posture once the evaluation is over. Fir example, having teachers out front to provide safety when kids are dropped off in the mornings. This is only consistently done when evaluation are taking place. My students have all been bullied or injured as a result of lack of transparency and poor training of staff.
