Read what parents are saying about Clair-Mel Elementary SchoolThis “school” is horrible! Absolutely bad on this school. A lot of bully.
Posted by a parent on 12/1/2022The teachers, principle, social work, and support staff have been great with my son. His academics are always communicated to me, his social and mental health needs are met. Complimentary to Parent involvement with Great communication.Just wish he got a bus..
Posted by a parent on 5/2/2022I removed my child from this school. The principal Gloria Waite is what made me decide to take my child out. She's condescending, rude, and thinks she's better than others. Any teachers that were there for years and years before her, landed up going to other schools because of the way she treats people. Once Gloria Waite became principal the school went down hill. Of course it doesn't help that Addison Davis is running things either, taxes went up so the school board could address issues such as their broken heating and cooling systems, majority of schools have not even had that addressed. Children go to school and the classrooms are cold because nothing has been fixed. You call the school board and ask to speak to someone, a secretary there is rude , tells you to explain why you are calling and in her own words " So I can deem weather your call is relevant to have a certain person call you back or just to dismiss you". With a school board like that, no wonder there are principles like Gloria Waite in positions of power especially over children that do not need to hold the position they are in. If you're looking for understanding, respect or you or your child to be treated fairly, I'd avoid Clair Mel elementary at all costs. I feel bad for the parents who have no choice but to leave their child at Clair Mel Elementary for reasons such as transportation, etc.. Since Gloria Waite has taken over, the score for the school has dropped tremendously and has never improved over the years as well. Best thing I did was take my child out of this school, I have no regrets and have been very pleased with the school I did chose. I have to drive my child but it's worth it. All the great teachers that made differences in children's lives have left this school, no one wants to work under a tyranny. Also just to clarify my child is a straight A student with no behavioral problems. In case someone cares to know a little background. I'm not a parent who has a child with behavioral problems /disabilities and chooses to blame others rather than get help for my child, the problem here lays with the school and who is running it. Hoping the best for all parents and children. I hope this will help you in some shape or form.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePeople will take the time to blast schools and teachers when it’s something negative but rarely do they pause to praise the positive. So here comes my praise report!!!When I tell you I am so proud of this young man!!! He is going to 4th grade!!! We have worked through many challenges this year, including entering a year below grade level in reading. We were so blessed to have had him attend Palm River Elementary this year! His teachers were so patient and dedicated to seeing him grow past his barriers and excel! He has grown one full grade level in reading!!! Plus his teacher now has my baby repeating the same manifestation I have heard her speak to is. He now will say, “Mom I can do anything I put my mind to” and “ I’m going to be a doctor one day!” He has his tribe at Palm River, all year people always jumped into support him! By tribe I mean everyone from the custodians to the lunch staff! They love them some Trace! I am especially thankful for the awesome administrative dream team!!! This was an amazing year, one that we haven’t had in years!Parent Review11mo ago - Bing Elementary School
