El Sol Elementary is a little gem in the Kalamazoo Public Schools. I’ve been an involved parent for 7+ years and have had 2 daughters attend. My 13 year old loved the second language and is one of the top 5 academically talented students in her 8th grade and will earn college credits for Spanish whe
Posted by a parent on 9/3/2015El Sol is a cesspool of bullying which the administration is very aware of, but unwilling (or unable) to address in an effective way. Who really believes a scared 5 year old, who's been getting bullied for weeks, is really worried about an office referral? How can a program based on multiculturalism
Posted by a parent on 9/30/2014This is school is great in theory. Their model for teaching kids with a multicultural model is amazing and at any other school would be perfect. However, it seems quite clear that the staff is overwhelmed and they have yet to establish good communication with parents. Bullying at this school is a BI
Posted by a parent on 3/21/2014This school helps all kids become bilingual in English and Spanish. We love the multiculturalism and diversity that El Sol offers our kids. The teachers and staff care about all kids and it's obvious in the supportive, community feel of the school.
Posted by a parent on 3/19/2014Our eldest child is currently in 5th and our youngest in Kgarten. We have been a part of this school since the beginning. The teachers are the best - so full of heart and so flexible when it comes to individual needs. The school is diverse in race and class, and that is embraced! How refreshing! If

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGarbage, the principal is stuck-up, teachers often play favorites, and some have YELLED at students (SECOND GRADE)!! bullies are dealt with about as fast as a snail in molasses (that is to say, not at all) this school is complete garbage, the second star is for the few good teachers who made the whole thing a whole lot betterOther Review1y ago - Lincoln International Studies School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love working at Lincoln! Wouldn't want to be anywhere else :)This school has had a bad reputation in the past, but honestly - come visit! You will see right away it is not at all what people say. This school is great, the kids and families are great and the teachers work hard. Our principal is one of the best I've ever worked with. The hallways are calm and the kids are learning 100%.Other Review4y ago - Parkwood-Upjohn Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI used to be a student. The school is mid and the teachers do nothing about bullies and also like they’re really mean to me sometimes I really suggest you don’t go to the school but if you have to it’s like fine you might make a few friends boss so usually they’re toxic so don’t make any friends I’m joking mainly so that’s it.Other Review2w ago - Washington Writers' Academy

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy youngest children attend, and we've had wonderful experiences. Everyone is helpful, kind and the building is beautiful. I do wish there were more after school activities boys could join, as my daughter has attened girl scouts, girls on the run and even joined a cheer leading group... And there has been nothing for my son, but over all... I love that my children are safe, and in such a wonderful building with such caring and intelligent staff.Other Review9y ago - St Augustine Cathedral School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt’s noted in other school districts that kazoo kids can’t read when they switch schools. Lack of any real education. Bathroom situation is terrible with no gendered bathrooms and no working locks. When you make any complaint or raise questions about what they are doing, you will be made it the black sheep because your views aren’t the same as theirs. Avoid if you want your child to have an education. Not worth the price of admission.Parent Review11mo ago - Kiddie Korral Preparatory
