Elizabeth Seawell Elementary School

Great experience. So far our kid is in kindergarten and loves it.

I can’t say enough good things about this school. We moved here from another district, hopeful to have more services for our children. One of our children who was falling behind at school and struggling to read, after a year at Estes had caught up with her peers and identified for gifted services. Our other child who has some social emotional challenges, has been supported and nurtured by multiple teachers and is now thriving. The school has a great parent community, feels safe, and many of the students walk or bike to school together. I’m not entirely sure with the other reviewers who mentioned the administration are referencing, but they had an administration shift in 2017 and I don’t see any complaints after that. Their principal and assistant principal are amazing and engaged. We haven’t had any conflicts with our kids, but for my understanding they handle those things really well.

We have had a very positive experience due to the incredibly intelligent and compassionate teachers we have had. The school is very diverse and due to learning in English and Spanish I don't believe testing and ratings on this site work as well in this model of a school.

My kids have been at McDougle for 4 years and I have been on the PTA board for 3 of those. MES is a great school! The principal is absolutely amazing! The teachers and staff are so committed to this school. And the PTA works its butt off to serve any of the needs of the school community. Everyone is extremely inclusive and welcoming.

My child has been at Morris Grove Elementary School for a year and is very satisfied in many ways. All of the teachers are dedicated, warm and focused on their children.

Had a terrible experience with administration, our k teacher was phenomenal. When we brought the issues about the administration to our parent teacher conference, the teacher started crying and said my friends always asked me why I stay here… have a feeling most of these scores are artificially increased by members of the PTA or administration themselves
