I went here twice and it was the most traumatizing thing. I feel bad for all the kids who have to be here. The teachers were mean the students harassed me the entire time and despite telling the principal multiple times they did absolutely nothing. I was absolutely miserable here. I came home sobbin
Posted by a community member on 11/19/2025Horrible, a certain teacher is very different to my child's well being than others, very rude to them, and puts them down. DO NOT RECOMMEND
Posted by a parent on 5/21/2025I have two boys that go to Whittier Elementary. The teachers and staff really care about their students. There was a situation that happened with a teacher who worked in the special education, but the school worked really fast to ensure all the students safety. The school works with Thrive and they
Posted by a parent on 5/31/2024My son is in his last year at Whittier, and we are so proud to have called it our school. I'm grateful for their amazing faculty and staff, they've helped my son realize his own potential and given him a desire to succeed. Best public elementary school in Clinton!

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy Kids have been at the school for 2-3weeks. One of my children was punched in the forehead with nothing more than a forced apology and my other kid was pushed down on the playground. Because in both instances the main teacher was not informed nothing was done. When I contacted the principal several times the next day(out of her office) and the next week (said it was too late for any form of punishment ) . Safety is not their priority and the level of incompetence in not 1 but 2 different situations speaks volume.Parent Review7mo ago - Eagle Heights Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers and staff at Eagle Heights are amazing! My children have loved their teachers and experiences there! My EH children have all tested above the national average and have always been offered opportunities to deepen their learning and understanding. I highly recommend Eagle Heights Elementary and could not be happier with our experience there.Parent Review1y ago - Prince of Peace Catholic Academy
