Read what parents are saying about Washington Elementary SchoolWe had children at Washington for 8 years. The teachers have been great. For the vast majority of them, when our kids had trouble with classwork or social/emotional situations, they helped us come up with a plan to move through. The reading program is amazing. Kids are all able to move at thier own pace through the levels and are supported where they are at and then grow from there. The PTO is as active as it can be with limited parent participation. Pre-COVID, the school-wide family picnics at the beginning and end of the year were wonderful and I expect they will return as soon as it is allowed. All grades go on at least one field trip a year. The older grades usually have at least two field trips. A spider climber was added to the playground in 2019 using PTO raised funds. The Title I reading and math nights provide fun activities for families to do together and there is always free pizza. Our kids never had issues with bullying at Washington. They are a Leader in Me school, which focuses on creating an environment of leadership and excellence. The kids have weekly curriculum on incorporating the 7 habits into their lives. There is also a mentorship component between the older kids and the younger kids. We have had a good experience at Washington.
Posted by a parent on 4/5/2021Terribly disappointing. There is shocking rudeness from the reception desk right up to the principal and the building is woefully ancient, cluttered and grimy.
Posted by a parent on 3/13/2018The staff here really take the time to get to know the students. Not just the teachers, but the cooks, janitors, and the office staff as well. It is really nice to see them taking an interest in the students lives.
Posted by a parent on 2/23/2015My daughter has spent 2 years at Washington Elementary and we have been very happy with the school! The teacher's that she has had have been fabulous, I can't speak for the other teachers since I do not know but so far so good! I also seen the principal playing hopscotch one morning with some kids! :) It is a great atmosphere and the kids all seem excited and happy to be there! I was a bit unhappy with the adjusting of teachers and the sizes of the classrooms have gone up a bit more since cutting back the number of teachers... Also I have dealt a lot with the office/nurses office because my daughter was quite ill last year and they have all been very nice and helpful for the most part. Only once I can recall them answering the phone and being a bit crabby towards me.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThey really do go above and beyond to meet your child's needs whatever that may look like or be. They offer smaller and larger classes depending on social skills and goals. The regular updates they provide is absolutely amazing as communication is key to any child's development! The learning itself is very fun and active while helping kids to learn independence along with safe boundaries. Our child is medically complex and they handled it with no problems, they made everything a cake walk. I love the teachers and environment of this school!Parent Review1y ago - Kennedy Elementary School
