Carpenter Elementary

School is not good, the assistant principal is unfriendly, especially for the older kids. They improperly deal with those with special needs, never excited about school, only recess is good and some of the teachers are unfriendly. They had not given us a shirt we bought and probably frustrates a lot of students.

We feel fortunate that our son attends our neighborhood elementary school. It’s a nurturing and inclusive environment that prioritizes socio-emotional learning. The teachers and staff are very attentive and compassionate, helping students grow not only academically but also in confidence, empathy, and resilience. The carpool line is impressively organized, making drop-offs and pick-ups smooth and stress-free. We also love the community-building events like movie nights and fall festival. TOur son has a mild peanut allergy, and the cafeteria manager has been incredibly proactive and communicative. The school communicates well with parents and is genuinely receptive to feedback, which we truly appreciate.

Daughter started first grade here. I’m impressed that there are a lot of community events. The teachers and admin are wonderful. There seems to be core messaging to the students on a daily basis about treating people with respect.

There have been many unexpected and concerning incidents involving my young child during just two months at this school.We had sent our kid to other schools we never had to worry about.For safety reasons we decided to leave - it's the best choice we can make.The teachers are unable to manage students properly, and LE director is not supportive when children are hurt or bullied.We've experienced multiple cases of assaults and bullying in the classroom, only for 2 month, but the school did nothing to protect the victims.If you read other reviews, you'll see this in an ongoing issue here.I would only recommend this school to parents whose children are bullies - because the school is extremely generous and protective towards them.GOOD LUCK.

We couldn’t be happier with our experience at Hortons Creek elementary school. From the moment we walked through the doors, we felt welcomed, supported, and confident that our child was in a nurturing and engaging environment. The teachers are caring and dedicated, the staff is supportive, and the learning environment is both fun and challenging. We’ve seen so much growth and couldn’t be happier.

This school has been incredible! From community engagement to supporting our children when they struggle in a subject. We have been at Parkside for 2 years and absolutely love them!
