Grimes Elementary School

This school does not care about their students. They let the kids who bully get away with anything and if a good student misses a day of school because they are sick they are punished. If you are in this area I recommend trying to get your child into Dore.

Went to school there. terrible principal she was and still is rude and condescending she definitely needs to be fired, told my family that my IEP and 504 was fake and that i didn’t need one let alone never used it when i got one (which schools are legally required to follow an IEP) had a therapist and psychiatrist come in to tell them that i definitely needed certain requirements and still never cared, a few rude teachers and translators that were there, had one teacher tell my mother that my family needed counseling and i was faking everything. the way they would talk to students should be talked about more. will never send my kids here and will always advocate how terrible this school really is.

Honestly, I have been going to Mark Twain school since I was in 3rd and let me just say, the teachers there do not care about their students enough. From 3rd to 6th grade, they aren’t so strict about what you do and won’t really care what happens. But seventh and eighth grade, they treat you horribly. Currently, I’m in 7th grade and for the past few months I’ve been in school, it’s been hard. There’s test twice a week or more and I know it’s an import year since it determines what high school you go to, but they treat it like it’s a holy grail. Fail a test once? Your grade goes down to a 20%. Get an a,axing 94% on an exam? Your grade goes up like 0.5 of a point. The grading sucks, the teachers are so sassy and rude, the kids are especially nasty from the attitudes they’re surrounded with, and overall I wouldn’t go to this school UNLESS it is the only nearest school, or you want to teach your kid about the “real world” and even if you do that, your kids won’t really like you as much.

Our family has been attending Gloria Dei for the last five years and we are very pleased. We have one graduate, who is doing extremely well and was more than prepared for high school. The class sizes are small and there's a lot of individual attention for the students. The teachers are there because of their love of teaching and their desire to spread Christ's love to their students. The sports programs are small, but they do offer basketball, track and field and bowling. We are very happy with Gloria Dei and welcome new families!

A great environment for kids to learn and grow. The school keeps students active with a variety of programs and learning experiences throughout the year. Families are also supported through community-focused efforts, and there’s a noticeable commitment to creating positive experiences for the children.

This school is very nice I would recommend coming here
