Floyd Ebeling Elementary School

There is no sense of community at this school, with the exception of one wonderful teacher my children have had, there is zero communication, no engagement and I have never felt more like I don't matter as a parent. I am dreading sending my child there for kindergarten next year. Our old school was warm, we knew everyone's name and we felt like a part of a big family, here, I feel so completely disconnected despite making efforts to be a part of activities. I couldn't tell you anything about what goes on inside that building if it wasn't for what my kids tell me. I'm disheartened by the complete lack of effort as whole by this school to create a welcoming environment for kids and parents alike.

We had a great experience at Ebeling. I have 2 children that have gone to Ebeling, preschool to 6th grade. No complaints here.

Principal is not very personable. Curriculum night was made up of mostly fundraising. There doesn't seem to be a variety of activity in specials. The school itself needs to be more challenging.

I have had 3 boys go through Ebeling. From Nursery school to 6th grade! There are so many great teachers at this school that it would be hard to name them all. There is a lot of parent volunteers which help the school run smoothly. The teachers pushed my boys to do better and would come to me with any concerns. I would absolutely recommend this school!

Ebeling is a great school. The teaching staff is hands down one of, if not the best in Utica Community Schools and our new additions to the teaching staff have made the group even stronger. Our PTA is strong and has a good relationship with the Teaching staff both groups appreciate each other. That positive relationship is not the case in the majority of other schools. The parking lot is a challenge we all know that, but that is nothing the current staff is responsible for. Yes, the principal should be out there each morning greeting the students rather we have our teachers out each morning greeting our students which is very positive for the students. Ebeling is a great school because of the Teachers, Students and Families. The focus of the staff and parents is on the students and their development both academically and socially!!
