Robert R. Gray Elementary School

This is the second year my children will be attending this school. I love the energy, spirit and dedication of the staff to getting the children where they need to be educational wise. This school offer many good programs, dedicated teachers and a wide range of support and low tolerance for bullying! Keep up the good work!!!

Teachers and staff function in an atmosphere of intimidation by Principal Roper. Principal Roper does not have a highly qualified staff of teachers. As a parent, I did not feel comfortable with my child being in their care and i strongly feel my that my child lost a year due to an unqualified teacher. It's costing me to get my child additional tutoring to catch up. If you want the best that a Ward 7 school elementary school can offer, Burrville ES is not it.

This school faces a lot of challenges being located in a neighborhood with such high rates of poverty, but the staff and leadership are incredible. The teachers work overtime to make sure kids feel engaged and excited to learn, and Principal Golden is a dedicated and tireless advocate for her students. Despite the challenges, the school has a number of resources to support families and kind, caring staff who go the extra mile to work with parents and caregivers. It's a truly special community.

I am a grandmother and I watched my grandson grow in reading identifying words on his own. I have watched him grow in math adding and counting in a short period of time this tells me how focused the teachers are because sometimes he loses focus. My grandson is in the first grade school will end in 3 days and he will promoted to the 2nd grade. I would like to thank the patience teacher's you are making a wonderful difference. My grandson name is Landon Dennis and I am Teresa Dennis Blessings to you all you have done your job because getting kids who have a hard time grasping sometimes you have done your job. Thanks
