It is a title one school with mainly minorities but it’s the most wonderful school. The teachers really care about helping the students succeed and teach their full potential.
Posted by a parent on 12/27/2022Worst school I've ever encountered. I have been in Wake Co now for 40 years and have attended the school system my whole life. This school takes the cake as the absolute worst! The principal is a control freak who bullies and makes life miserable for students, teachers, and parents. If the schoolboa
Posted by a parent on 9/21/2022DO NOT WORK HERE. the environment is so toxic and there is no support from administration. Find another school where you’ll be treated with respect.
Posted by a teacher on 4/18/2022This is the Worst school I have ever been to.
Posted by a parent on 5/19/2017My child loathes ELES. Many kids are bullies. Some teachers are not doing their job. Not recommend your child to go that school. Their rating should go down to 1. One of worst schools in Germantown!!

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI went to this school from Kindergarten to 2nd, And I would have to say my experience was not great. I would often hear kids doing disrespectful things to teacher and not being disciplined, I would also get bullied and ignored myself. the teachers here were biased to some students who were more white or light skinned, it made a lot of us feel left out. The school did events where you could participate in. I'm glad that I moved away from that school and no longer a student.Other Review2y ago - Whetstone Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have two children at Whetstone Elementary and have been impressed with services and level of attention provided to both of my children. The teachers are very much engaged and maintain register contact with my husband and I. One of my children is special-needs and requires special education, we have experienced nothing but outstanding support from from everyone that we have come in contact with.Parent Review3y ago - Flower Hill Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son has attended Strawberry Knoll from Kindergarten and is now graduating from 5th grade. All of the teachers my son has had have been wonderful and they care. Before the Pandemic and throughout they have always gone above and beyond. The school is diverse, the Principal Mr. Scott is great and gets to know the students individually. They have a lot of events and activities to include the family. I am very happy with the education my son received at Strawberry Knoll. If your child is shy or has challenges, they will find the "Knoll" to be a safe inclusive environment. I can't say enough about Strawberry Knoll.Parent Review3y ago - St Martin Of Tours School
