Posted by a teacher on 1/8/2025First off, the school is terrible. Mice in the school well as bugs, the bathrooms are very unsanitary. Rarely gets cleaned at all, the students have no respect for literally anyone, unless their likeable or "popular". Teachers are rude and disrespectful to their students, they poorly try to understa

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was not happy when my son was assigned to this school since we live over 7 miles away and it takes him 45 minutes on the school bus. But we have realized that we WON the lottery! His teachers have been amazing. While he was on Ms.Hiatt's class she emailed constantly not matter what, I would receive a reply within 24 hours but usually the same day. The communication was amazing! I wish they expanded until 8th grade, its worth the trip!!Parent Review10y ago - Trotter Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe reason why I rate this school three stars because the students were bullying me for no reason they were teasing me about my weight and none of the staffs did anything about it at all and the co worker lady in the cafeteria made false accusations about me calling out sick alot and she was rushing me on my job i would never ever work for the trotter elementary school anymore.Other Review2mo ago - Haynes Early Education Center

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy granddaughter has only been going there since September but I am so impressed with this school. There is a low student/teacher ratio, it is racially diverse, the teachers are well educated and promote an environment of healthy living and learning. Most important to me....they are king, available and my granddaughter loves the school and the chickens!Other Review4y ago - Eliot Educational Center
