Betsy Rhodes Elementary School

I love how all the staff provided a lot of help for my daughter and us thank you so much all the staff very kind and attentive to every detail I plenty recommend it to all our neighbors.

The teachers and the principal bully the kids. There is no communication about what goes on or what the kids need. When asked about it I was told I should just know and it’s all common knowledge even. Highly don’t recommend unless you want to feel alienated and never welcomed

I want to share a different perspective as a Black parent with two daughters currently attending Sandra Thompson Elementary. Our experience here has been overwhelmingly positive. My older daughter is a straight A student who has consistently felt supported, encouraged, and celebrated by both her peers and teachers. She was even honored for her talents by winning the school-wide art contest and having her artwork featured on the yearbook cover, a moment that meant so much to our family.My younger daughter is currently in kindergarten and recently scored in the top 5% of all students at her grade level, which speaks volumes about the quality of instruction and attention she receives.The staff and teachers at this school have shown genuine care and dedication, not just academically but emotionally as well. My daughters feel safe, seen, and inspired every day they walk into this building.I won’t discredit another parent’s experience, but I do want to add that our experience as a Black family has been one of inclusion, encouragement, and high expectations. Diversity matters, and while no school is perfect, I’ve found Sandra Thompson Elementary to be a place where my children thrive and are treated with respect and value.
