Komarek Elementary School

We absolutely love Ames! You can tell the teachers and staff really care about their job. I feel like they go above and beyond to address issues with students before they become potentially bigger issues in the future. Our kids are always excited to go to school. It seems like a lot of the parents are very involved with the school, which is nice to see. I’m sorry to read that another parent had a bad experience with bullying. Everything I’ve seen, the administration and teachers seem to take things very seriously and address them early on. We love the themed days, spirit wear days and the entire school reading the same book at the same time. It really creates a sense of community among the different grades. The teachers deserve so much credit. It’s not easy these days and they are truly wonderful at this school!

The administration continuously dismissed and minimized the concerns voiced by students, which resulted in a multitude of unsafe experiences within the school environment. This neglect contributed to an atmosphere where students felt vulnerable and unprotected. In addition, teachers regularly failed to deliver instruction that was appropriate for the varying grade levels of their students, impeding their academic progress and engagement. The school faced recurring incidents of fights and a significant prevalence of bullying, creating a hostile atmosphere for many students. Although the administration encouraged students to report any troubling behavior by stating, "If you see something, say something," these reports often went unacknowledged or were brushed aside. As a result, the underlying issues not only persisted but often escalated, leaving students feeling increasingly frustrated and unsafe in their learning environment.

This school is again really amazing. They truly care for and assist their students and how they really help them shine. My child has really changed and became much more confident in her abilities and has improved greatly academically.

Great but the only thing i wish about schools now put the activities back so that the kids can stay kids more assembly's, celebrate holidays in these assembly's ,let the kuds pass out goodies when its required like birthdays,Christmas, Thanksgiving,Valentine's Day and Halloween, Black History, Cinco de Mayo and St Patrick's Day in Roosevelt School not going to other schools in the 89th district. Make it fun as well as learning. Thank you

Teachers are very rude, fights between students fight on a daily basis, and when it happens they bind the students up. I don’t recommend you bring your kids to this school.
