Read what parents are saying about Ventnor Elementary SchoolIf you have children of color, particularly African American learners, please consider other alternatives where your child can go for instruction. This act will avoid being subject to racial bullying and discrimination at the hands and mouths of staff and students, and lack of communication followed with officials advising that they do not always have to notify parents of actions completed against learners. Additionally, please consider not sending your child to this school to avoid false reporting, manipulated and distorted truths, and nepotism within the staffing entity, leading to your concerns not being attended to and instead retaliation. Racial-based biases and fears are projected onto learners of color, thus shifting the engagement of the professional relationship between students and staff present to service. Also, if you'd like to ensure your family is not subject to physical and emotional impact, please consider other educational means. Diversity, equity, and inclusion require ethical and moral practice in tune with being true to what is on paper to be implemented. Let me also state that disproportionate disciplinary action is present within this building. Please make the right decision, as this is not a safe space for students of African American students under the leadership of ineffective and incompetent administration. Not only am I writing this review as a reflection of my experience and others alike with similar themes but others who are afraid to be vocal and opt to relocate. My grievances exhaust beyond this brief summary. Now, if you're comfortable with conforming and lack of advocacy, you and your family may be well due to a lack of plausible resistance. Consider!
Posted by a parent on 6/24/2023After leaving a school in another state in which my child was nurtured and supported from the minute they arrived at school until the minute they left this school is utterly lacking. I am seeing so many sadly mistaken parents reporting about how wonderful this school is and I believe it’s only because they don’t know any better. Total lack of communication, reliance on children to come home and report adult situations, old outdated paperwork sent home leasing the parent to look foolish when using outdated information and one hand doesn’t know what the other is doing. Also, the busing company is horrific. Leaving kids in the cold, no communication of lateness, drivers who look like they shouldn’t even be allowed to drive a car let alone a bus. Don’t waste your time with this school. If you can move farther to avoid dealing with this!
Posted by a parent on 1/23/2019Great school. I went to school here as a child and now my children do. The teachers, staff, and administration are excellent. They do the best with what they have to work with. Only problem/concern I have is that several years back they sold their bus fleet and now contract out. The company and people are great, it's that most kids now dont have option of free bussing to school. There's no school in the area that's competes with staffs/teachers participation , experience, knowledge, and professionalism.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThey served moldy carrots to my child and serve the same unhealthy sandwiches. (food variety & nutrition is lacking) Teachers here Also complain when child brings their own food. Finding parking is a mess considering they close off empty parking lots. My child being hit by another classmate when the teacher leaves room is another reason why safety is rated lowParent Review9mo ago - Chelsea Heights Elementary School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur daughter is enrolled in the Pre K program at Our Lady Star of the Sea. In a few short months we have been blown away by the dedication and support of the teachers and the staff. We are very impressed by the strength of the curriculum as well. As a young 4 y/o our child has been working on her beginning letter sounds and is now even starting to blend her sounds and is so eager to read. She have learned so much that she loves sharing with her family such as the history of fire engines and fire safety during Fire Prevention Month to today's breakfast lesson to her dad about the importances of Election Day and Voting. Not to mention, our hearts melt when we overhear her practicing all her new prayers in the other room. We are so glad we made the decision to give OLSS a try especially in the world we live today. Our daughter has made beautiful friends who come from beautiful families who not only share the same values of the importance of family but also the importance of the Catholic Identity.Parent Review1y ago - St. James Elementary School
