Aura Elementary School

Average teacher salary at this school shows significantly below the State average. Why is that?Teacher avg. salary here is about $24k vs State avg. of 70k.We just moved to the area and are concerned with sending our child to this school with their ratings being so low almost across the board.

J Harvey Rodgers School has the best teachers by far hands down. My twins had both Mrs.Atkinson and Mrs. McDermott. They are both very good teachers who bend over backwards to make sure these students are taught above expectation. I have to say, I am definitely impressed. Can't forget Mr. Taibi the principal who is leaving this year. I had a one on one sit down and talked a little more about him as a principal. Let's just say he loves his job and works outside of the school boundaries to help children all over.

This school is more worried about the money than the well being of their students. They don't correct bullies. They think that because the kids are "taught" religion in class, these kids are angels. Well, they're terribly mistaken. Four of our kids have gone to this school, and they've all said the same thing. What they learned from this school is not anything having to with their education, but how disrespectful most of the kids were at this school. They can't provide enough supplemental help for kids with learning disabilities and the education is no different than public school. The only thing that's different is you have to pay for the subpar education. Do yourself the favor and go to public school. The teachers ACTUALLY care about the students, they don't tolerate bullying.
