We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Wayne Thomas Elementary School. The teachers are truly excellent — dedicated, passionate, and consistently going above and beyond to support each child's learning and development. Our children have thrived both academically and socially, and we credit so
Posted by a parent on 4/17/2025My son has been the victim of significant bullying and harassment this year. Unfortunately, the staff has shown little concern for the issue. I’m deeply disappointed in this school. Until they take a hard look at their internal problems and make meaningful changes, I don’t believe they deserve to re
Posted by a parent on 4/2/2025We have two children at Wayne Thomas, currently fourth and second grade. They’ve been there since kindergarten. We are a special-needs family with a 504 and our needs always feel supported. Every staff member checks in, from the administrative assistant to the librarian. We know we can go to anyone
Posted by a parent on 1/21/2024We have a daughter in 1st grade and a son entering Kindergarten this coming school year, and we couldn't be happier with Wayne Thomas!

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have been to 8 different schools, and this is by far the worst experience I have ever had. The kids are all mean and stuck up, and the teachers don't care. The counselors go out of their way to spread your private information. They are very liberal and I wasn't comfortable with boys who claimed to be girls in my bathroom. I say this because I had a boy come into the bathroom to look under stalls and this wasn't just one child. I went here for 6th and 7th grade and have never been more uncomfortable, violated, or exposed by the teachers and students.Other Review1y ago - Holy Cross School
