Woodbourne School At Conrad

I used to go the school and it is so bad there was fights every single day the food was so bad people were making out in the bathroom stalls.

My child's experience at Govans Elementary has been amazing. The entire school works as a community to support the students both academically and socially/emotionally. Questions, challenges, and opportunities are all addresses in a timely manner with empathy and consideration. It's a beautiful building full of wonderful children and educators, lots of resources, and a caring community of parents.

Highly concerned about the educators who teach and question their credentials. The school has a very safe environment with no support from leadership as they behave in a very unprofessional manner. When expressing concerns to the principal and assistant principal met with unprofessionalism that had to be reported to North Ave . Children are bullied daily and teachers give NO SUPPORT for educational assistance and refer you to go online for your child to get info for they don’t have time . Very disappointed and horrible experience the one yr. there.

Teachers here seem to think its a fashion show :) on the other side I had good experiences with my child teacher although for some reason I didn't meet all of them just the 1st teacher they see through the day .I do feel they share to many things with there students such as pregnancy related things I understand the excitement but some things I do not want my child to start wanting to be more curious about before the maturity is set in also such as what they do on there personal time etc while I do see that they trying to build a relationship with the students what about the parents because they are the one trusting you with there children during the day I only met one teacher out of 4/5 .I do take some accountability for missing back to school night but I'm sure I wasn't the only parent to do so I attended parent chaperone training's and still only met one . During bad weather they take a little long making it safe for the children to enter safely though I did see pictures on dojo they would show them in front of it during some removal. Did'nt receive much help with children mental health services not sure if this the only school that doesn't but the prior school my child attended was giving help with community resources etc..

Terrible school my daughter won’t be returning next year !!!

This school lacks effective leadership. The individuals that work there are out of touch with reality. Staff members has an issue with the way they communicate effectively with the children. Yelling at someone’s child is wild to me but I’m that parent that’s not going for none of that. Staff members are to lead by example, help shape the kids for the future not yell and deprive them of fun activities when children need that time to debrief. There needs to be new staff in office and throughout. My child will not be returning there for the new school year. One year was enough for me and my baby girl. Yorkwood did not exceed my expectations. No, I don’t recommend this school to any parent who wants the best most effective learning experience for their child(ren).

This school should really be shutdown! They can’t keep a principal or teachers at this school. The administration has no idea what they are doing. The children there are being verbally and emotionally abused by the staff.They are being bullied by other children and the administration ignores all of our concerns. This year teachers and few administrator staff have quit and walked off the job. I would not send my child here.
