Chews Elementary School

I wish I could rate this school lower. Most teachers are great, but the rest is downhill from there. To start, kids have tablets- um excuse me? Do they even teach kids how to write their name anymore?! What happened to good old paper and pencil to work problems out? Communication is terrible, knowing what assignments are due- terrible, how to get to said assignments- terrible! Don't get me started about bullying- umm you need to fill out paperwork? You guessed it- in the form, on the computer because they don't want an email or a call to the school. IEP or 504, nope, you have to jump through hoops to even get the BARE MINIMUM. Im sorry, but we have delt with Park on and off for 3/4 years and it seems to be nothing but a headache. I really dont know how it got so many stars on the reviews.

This school is NOT diverse, very old fashion, and not tuned with today's world. No Asian teachers, one Black teacher, No Spanish teachers. Mainly all white staff. When I had an issue they spoke to me rude and condescending because I'm Spanish. I would do research before moving to this town. My kid hates this school and it's sad because he is only in Kindergarten. He really miss his old school he cries every morning to go back to his old school. My kid also love giving hugs and he was told to keep his hands to himself because Covid. He came home so sad he really lost his excitement for school.

I went to this school kindergarten to eighth, handful of good teachers, staff is whatever. Got teased and basically verbally bullied by people 6th through 8th, when it started I told teachers, little to nothing was done about it. Drama at this school is handled poorly by staff. My old class in 8th were extremely disrespectful and would throw things and do bad stuff during school, and all they got were detentions and scoldings. if anything needs to be fixed, its how they react to troubling scenarios and how they give their students discipline.

My experience with this school is phenomenal. They take the time to actually get to know the child and the family so the educational instruction is suited to the individual. I am glad to be in such an inviting atmosphere where you can feel the care provided by the staff and the involvement of the families.
