Horrible instead of encouraging they discourage kids like my daughters kindergarten graduation in 6-19-2019 they denied her her cap n gown in her graduation because of a attendance matter even tho she was sick those days. It was a horrible and sad experience.
Posted by a parent on 6/24/2019After teaching there for a year, and being a demonstration teacher (where teachers from around the network came into my classroom to see great teaching techniques), I begrudgingly left. I had AMAZING co-workers that spent long hours before & after school trying to find ways to better each students'
Posted by a teacher on 10/1/2017Bright Elementary School has been under the new administration of Alicia Lewis for the past two years. During this time, Bright school has grown and prospered! The school went from a Level 3 to a Level 2 school in 6 months; which, is not easy! When you walk into this school you feel welcomed and chi
Posted by a community member on 12/15/2015This school could be better if staff and parents work together...There is a little parent involvement...We do not have a permanent principal, and we do not know for how long this will be...
Posted by a parent on 9/10/2013Intolerable principal scares teachers away. Every year. This is how it goes: principal begins "dropping in" unannounced at a classroom. She tells the teacher that she does not know how to teach and that she is "concerned." Next, principal begins calling the teacher to her office every day after scho

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy. The most of the teachers don’t care about bullying, or when people are getting made fun of right in front of them. I’ve noticed that teachers will let the kid get bullied not move the bully’s or try to tell them to stop they will usually just let it happen and report it later.In your a person of color and are not Hispanic I couldn’t not recommend this more. If your child is a person of color that’s not Hispanic I beg you don’t send them here they will get bullied horribly. This school mostly the kids aren’t told why things my using stereotypes and slurs are wrong so they just use them as jokes. They think it’s funny to yell racial slurs in the middle of the class. So I’m begging you don’t send your kids here.Student Review1y ago - Addams Elementary School

My child specifically has grown to love school and in their own confidence! I would recommend this school to any one looking for a school to call home.Parent Review1y ago - Marsh Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI wished there were more extracurricular activities and events that foster parent involvement. However, my children are excited and look forward to going to class, every day and that speaks volumes. The academic progress my children make yearly is 100% the result of the arduous work of their teachers. The administration has an open door policy and is willing to work with parents as quickly as an issue arises. The bullying is addressed internally and immediately. I trust my children are safe and treated fairly at this school. I would recommend this school over all the other neighboring schools.Parent Review1y ago - Warren Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love this school. They have great programs for students and parents. They even celebrate grandparents. My children passed algebra and are now in geometry. The classes are advanced and challenge them. The teachers are engaged in instruction. The school has a new playground and the new principal has done a lot of beautiful things to update the school.Parent Review9mo ago
