Broad Acres Elementary School

Galway ES always has fun parent involvement nights and opportunities for the community to come and engage which I really appreciate. The PTA is strong and holds creative meetings to build up support for both teachers and the students. The principal is very strong in her role and is always visible and she’s and knowledgeable. I love this school, my son is in 4th and next year his brother will join for K and hoping he has a great experience too. They have the enrichment program for students with high test scores and grades, and STEM fairs, different clubs to join too. My son reads to the K-2 classes (roaring readers which gets the young students excited to learn by seeing the older students visit and read to them). They also have the minority scholars program where students discuss important issues of race and equity, and discuss how to create change in the community, which gives leadership responsibility to the students involved. It’s a great school. Very impressed with what all they do throughout the school year.

Over all, Jackson road school is safe and well organized. I don’t know why ratings is below.

The experience this school year at times was a bit overwhelming as a grandparent within home with child it was exciting going into the year but became a bit much with an inexperienced teacher as the year progressed.

Administration/front desk are so rude! They talk so bad to parents they look like they are tired and not like their job

I am very happy that my 2nd grader is pleased with this school and has made many great friendships, since we enrolled in Pre K. I feel like the social connections and atmosphere is safe for children and I don't have to worry about my child getting exposed to concerning things at this young age. The academics are challenging which is a good thing. There are many opportunities for parental involvement and it's encouraged which I appreciate! I recommend this school, you won't be disappointed. Oh like others have said, you always see the principal around which goes a long way. He's approachable and pleasant, as is the staff!
