Frank E. Weiss Elementary School

Great for a child who is has an acedemic mind set in some way shape or form.Not great fur children with severe disabilities or have autism

Learning: 1 star because these kids are not excited to go to schoolTeaching: 1 star because the teachers are not engaging and do not care about your child or their individual needs Social-emotional support: 1 star because my child is told they are a liar when trying to tell their side of the story Special education: 3 stars because they offer classes for different learning disabilities. Safety: 1 star because the paras are not active in paying attention to what’s going on during recess and children often get bullied Family Engagement: 1 star because parents are not allowed to come visit the school without an event or need of volunteer. It is very closed off to parents. No accountability held to staff.

The fist day of school was a disaster for my kindergartener last year. They said no parents in the school on the first day but we watched many parents walk through the front doors with staff members holding the door open for them. The staff was non verbal to the children with grumpy faces instead of being helpful to a scared children on their first day, providing direction. My daughter wandered the hall for a couple of minutes not knowing where to go until we walked in to give her direction. No school staff anywhere to assist. She was supposed to be a walker that day and they put her in the car pick up line. Disaster. From that point forward the principal avoided us and our child completely for the remainder of the school year, purposely walking away from our car for pick up and drop off. Zero level of professionalism and doesn't appear to have the best interest of "all" the children. I believe this is the only school in the district that does not have the Watchdog program which is a great program for both the parents and the kids.
