Learning: While my child was excited to go to school to learn, the school lacks good teachers. The classrooms are over crowded, having 1 teacher and maybe 1 assistant when available with 25-30 students per class with students who have learning disabilities and are learning English as their second la

Posted by a community member on 8/20/2014I am stunned by the poor reviews. My son came in with an IEP. In fact, he was supposed to be put into a separate "special ed" school. An Essex teacher was at the meeting and asked to see our son. After speaking with him, she pushed to get him into Essex. Each year, the teachers helped him to grow
Posted by a parent on 7/29/2014I posted on May 28th...I was hoping to see another review. Unfortunately, you would have never gotten what your child needs from this school. This school does everything they possibly can do to work against you and your child. I believe it is their way of building a case against you, should you deci
Posted by a parent on 6/4/2014I am glad that I see two other parents that have posted regarding their frustrations with this school. We have just moved to the area and I have never seen any school like this. They fall short on basic communication between parent and teacher and make no apologies about it. In fact, they try and ma

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTERRIBLE SCHOOL. My children are special needs and one of my children got hit in the face by another student. The school isn't coming up with a solution for the future so I came up with one. My children need to be in a Special Education program or have a one-on-one helper (specialist that specializes in their disability). So far, the only thing they accomodated for them was put them on a bus so they don't have to walk a mile to get to school, which I had to threaten a lawsuit because KKI and a Dr said it's a safety concern if they aren't on the bus and middlesex tried making us wait 3 months which turned into 2 days after i mentioned a lawsuit. (BTW they do not have a special education program and no one in the school knows anything about Autism.)Parent Review2y ago - Orems Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe love Orems! It has been such an amazing place for my kiddos. Our family has had such a positive experience at this school! Both of my children look forward to going each day, which says a lot. The teachers care about their students—not just academically but personally as well. They take the time to get to know my children and make them feel seen, valued, and supported. The staff goes above and beyond to make sure the environment is safe, welcoming, and encouraging. Communication with parents is consistent and helpful, and I always feel like I know what’s going on in the classroom. They have such cute events for the families and even resources for the community. The whole school community feels like a family—friendly, respectful, and invested in helping every student succeed. I’ve watched my kids grow more confident, curious, and responsible since starting here, and I can honestly say they’re thriving both socially and academically. It’s such a relief as a parent to know they’re in a place where they’re not only learning, but happy and cared for every single day. We love you Orems Elemntary! I’d highly recommend this school, we started two years ago and will be sad in 3 when I don’t have children in the school anymore!Parent Review6mo ago - Red House Run Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have to agree with the 2014 reviewer, the principle is also just going through the motions like many of the teachers. They do not effectively deal with bullies allowing them to continue harrassing and physically assaulting other students. The admins way of dealing with students who make "bad choices" (thier words not mine) is to punish the whole class hence having the offending students peers to shun the student. This school is more concerned about making sure the school gets special funding. It is to the admins benifit to keep these students under preforming. Meaning- they get more money.Parent Review4y ago - St Stephens Christian Academy
