Jefferson Elementary School

I was a former teacher at Elliott Street for 4 years before moving to Florida. Elliott Street has high standards and expectations to ensure students are getting the education they deserve. I won’t lie, it is hard work but very rewarding. I had the pleasure to have worked with both Ms. Johnson and Ms. Desantis. Both principals were very professional and approachable. The coaches were always willing to work with me and answer any questions I had. The school building is so modern and full of technology. If you love teaching and are willing to put in the hard work, I definitely recommend working here. If you are a parent looking for a school to enroll your child in, this is a very great school. The rating provided does not take into account the academics of the primary grades, the fact that Elliott has many bilingual students who struggle with English, and students with specials needs. Do not let a rating be the determining factor! Visit the school, meet the staff members, and form your own opinion.

Both my children went through this school system my daughter a star student with all A’s got into their college program as a Junior in High school. She graduated from BCCC with her Associates and then graduated HS. With a full scholarship to finish her Bachelor’s. This has saved our family about $30-40k in college expensive. Most kids are very competitive with their grades. My son was totally opposite of my daughter. He was Special Education. Every year or more if needed the child study team along with his teachers sit down and we come up with an educational plan (IEP)for him. There have been time where the IEP need to be adjusted. Eventually with years of support he was able to go general ed in school and leave the special ed classroom. Even in General Ed I was able to work closely with teachers and principals. Bottom line is we had nothing but a great experience with the schools.

My both kids are Schuyler kids and I would never change for any other school. This school gives great educational foundation for the kids to succeed further in middle school.

My son had a hard time adjusting after covid, he has done a complete 360. Doing very well in school. Thank you all and what you do.
