Slater Elementary School

I have experienced multiple concerns regarding organization, communication, and overall classroom management that have negatively impacted my child’s school experience.

I don't like this school! My grand daughter gets bullied,, she tells the teacher, the teacher ask if she's bleeding or hurt.. my granddaughter says no.. so she told to go back to her desk with no conversations with any of the bullies!!!! Other things have happened at this school but I will not get into it! SO THIS SCHOOL IS A HARD NO! going to start looking into other schools for my babies! 0 stars!

My son just finished up his 3rd year at Gideons. I have worked in education and I know a hard working group of people when I see them. The past 3 years have gone well for us with minor hiccups. There is no perfect school. My son has been able to join the gifted group to enhance his learning. I chose to enter the Kindezi lottery because I liked the model of small class sizes, I believe this has been very beneficial for my child. Staff have also gone above and beyond to help me with identifying things to work on at home. All children receive a chromebook and they are able to provide assignments on sick days. This is a team effort. They are also intentional about having families come in the school for academic events, PTA meetings and other meetings where parents are able to express concerns and engage in planning. We receive regular communication and they have after school support for those who need it. I am happy with my decision thus far. The principal is from the community, he is invested and it shows. Although my child is a car rider, I really appreciate seeing him walking the neighborhood with large groups of kids after school, which happens pretty often. The resource officer and other car rider staff are attentive and ensure the safety of the children.

Our experience has been very Positive. We have absolutely loved our Elementary School teachers - 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade teachers have been amazing. My child feels safe and cared for. She also has fun and really looks forward to school and learning. The PTA does a great job of including families and Principal Foster, Miss HG and the leadership team do a phenomenal job of running this ship! The teachers and staff are especially supportive of kids that need attention and they have a lot of experience and patience working with kids from various backgrounds and learning levels. It is a very "inclusive" culture.
