Huff Elementary School

My Children and myself love Lords Park School. Always very welcoming and my kids always felt safe. The teachers and staff always finding ways to help children learning fun and comprehensive.

The staff is very nice, but drop off and pick up is difficult and in a very busy area. The school could use a good cleaning, it is not the cleanest.

We are so thrilled to be part of St Mary school community. Having experience with most of the public schools on both sides of Elgin, I can confidently recommend St. Mary School. Our two children are thriving academically, emotionally, and spiritually.

I had two children graduate from St. John's, and two more children attending. My children that graduated were well ahead of their high school peers, and because of the curriculum at St. John's, I felt my children had better memorization skills and study skills. We have been at St. John's for over 10 years and I have been impressed with the staff, not only do they care about their educational journey, but they have also been there for them on a spiritual and individual level. One of my children wished to go to an academy in U-46, and their teacher was extremely helpful walking them through the process and helping them achieve their goal.

They do not take accountability for their weaknesses. EA staff tends to pacify parents for a limited time with solution's to problems but never fully fix it. They charge tuition and give false promises. If you dont donate to the school, your child will fall through the cracks. Seeing my grandchildren suffer in social, mental, academically had been a challenge. The builidings are old and run down. They dont follow 100% protocol for Covid. Their staff changes recently have not been positive. Teachers are not passionate about their students. No one really cares as long as tuition is coming in.
