MRH Elementary School

MRH ECC is a great place for a child to learn and grow. My oldest attended from preschool all the way to 2nd grade. Her curiosity was not only welcomed but encouraged. She was part of the gifted classes in 2nd grade and Ms. Swboda was great at stretching her academically. My youngest is a special education student and he has shown tremendous growth from preschool and now in kindergarten. He was non verbal in preschool with little vocalizations and now he is more vocal and trying to use sentences. This is due in part to his team that works with him on a daily basis.

We loved this school most of the time my daughter was here, but do know that the principal changed around 2009 and the new one is not the same one that got all the great comments in the earlier reviews. The prior principal was very nurturing and the new one is very rigid and strict. Just so you know going in. We didn't send my younger daughter there and the principal change was a main reason, but if you didn't know about the difference in environment between the two it might not bother you.

Love Wilkinson. My son is my second child there. I wish it went past 2nd grade. That is literally my only complaint. The teachers are super involved and so is the parent community. I have had kids in several slps schools and there is no parent community this close. I really love it! I would also like to add that my kids have excelled so much thanks to Wilkinson.

My grandson had a wonderful experience in the Robotics Program / Robotics Club. GSA excels in this are primarily due to the teachers / coaches that teach the students. Royal Gasimov was especially helpful and always went the extra mile to support the students. The overall facilities and property is in mediocre condition and there are no fields, tracks, etc. for extracurricular activities. In my opinion...it seemed that especially after the covid era...there was little to no homework. and the workload was lightened to possibly help the overall student grade point average appear higher. Teachers seemed to be very caring and helpful in getting students caught up when they fall behind. I was also disappointed to learn that one semester, my grandson didn't get to go outside for any kind of lunch break, PE, or otherwise. Apparently, the following semester he would, when his schedule changed. However, every student needs to take breaks, and if the weather is decent, why not let them take a break and get some fresh air, and then the students would be more alert for their next class. There is a diverse music program and my grandson always enjoyed learning different instruments. The concerts were impressive and the teacher very supportive to their students.
