Yorkwood Elementary School

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.

the teachers here are rude, and dont really care abt students. one off the math teachers cursed at a student bc someone asked for help.

Principal skips down the hall singing while her students behave like delinquents. 1000% would not recommend.

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..

Horrible experience they allow bullying some of the teachers are unprofessional one called my son a dude this one lil boy spit on my son and they continued to let this lil boy mess with my son they pick n choose who they think telling the truth or who’s at fault they definitely did not have my sons best interest at heart they did not have his back at all just continued to let kids bully him then when he finally fought back now he’s the problem but when my son came home with a busted lip they said it was confidential they couldn’t tell me wat will be the consequences for this lil boy busted my son lip it’s definitely a 0/10 for me

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.

Mount Zion Baptist Christian School is phenomenal! Not only do students receive rich academic training but they also grow in spiritual wisdom and Christian character! They train children to be whole, wise, confident and compassionate individuals. Their staff and administration are accessible, knowledgeable and work well with students and parents. They really care!! We are very grateful and proud that our daughter attended this amazing school!
