New River Elementary School

This school is ridiculous. Staff is lazy and lacks any sort of motivation it seems. Little to no oversight of students it would seem from what my child experiences. They definitely seem to play "favorites". They way they run the classroom is horrible, half the students sit with the teacher and learn whilst the other half is set to work independently and told not to bother the teacher. There's a good reason test scores are so poor. If you can avoid it definitely do you and your child the favor.

I feel like my son should be able to do anything he wants. I don’t know why he gets punished for saying and doing what he feels.

My one child started at k-4 we had such a great experience (pre k teacher is awesome -Jennifer Miller) I decided to enroll for kindergarten and again another great year(Mrs Perez is awesome). I loved how everyone knew my child by name and how personal it is. Staff was very nice except for one person that was at the front and who no longer is(thank God).But, having been there through second grade I have to say the last two years there were not satisfactory at all.. the last two years the teachers were not a great experience . My other child attended 6th grade there. The teacher was great. However the setup for middle school is horrible! It lacking in a lot of areas,severely in the electives department. And technology there is none at this school for any grade! My child hated it. The school is very misleading on what they offer. They advertise that they offer way more then they actually do. There prices are going up tremendously and they are not offerning anything substanal. I did a lot of reasearch finding another school and came to realize that this school is not worth the price.

My son has been here since Kindergarten. I won’t say what grades he’s in. But, I will say this. They hate to see a parent advocating for their child and demanding updates when they know the child is struggling. For crying out loud my child advocates for himself! That speaks volumes! Yet they could care less. When you try and bring anything to their attention is falls on deaf ears. I had to get a lawyer involved. Not sure he will be back.
