Read what parents are saying about Watervliet Elementary SchoolI would rate this school 8 out of 10.
Posted by a parent on 7/20/2020Overall , I do not recommend this school. I wish to see improvements but where to begin? 1.would be possibly getting a more motivated principal that’s not so comfortable and blinded to all the bad behaviors of students and staff. Also all test score are below average, honestly what does that kind of hint to you ? Then you request your child that has had special needs since birth for RTI program (special services ) and be pushed around for 2 years. It is really unfortunate if you have to live in this school district.
Posted by a parent on 2/6/2018The teacher are great and they are very hands on with the children. My son loves his teachers!
Posted by a parent on 5/27/2014My son has been going to this school since pre-k and now is in first grade. He has had amazing teachers each year and has come a long way. My son has ADHD and getting him on the same level as other students has been a challenge. The teachers have not only kept me up to date about his issues but his accomplishments as well. I appreciate the extra steps they have taken through notes home, emails, and phone calls.
Posted by a parent on 11/11/2011The experience that I have had with WES has not been a positive one. There is no real good discipline system in place so when students do something wrong they are not disciplined correctly, or the punishment is not fully carried out, so no one is really held accountable for their actions. Bullying is running like wild fire in the schools and the bullies are questioned they simpley deny it and are believed and let go and keep doing it. Education is substandard. I would strongly discourage anyone from sending their children here.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWent to this school my entire childhood, K-12. If this were being written back in the 80's, 90's or even early 2000's I'd recommend the school. It was different back then. You had teachers who wanted to see kids learn, grow and succeed. Yes it was a small school but it made learning more intimate. They kept kids in check, disciplined and motivated. The superintendent, principle and guidance counselor were leaders and you knew when you crossed the line back then. Now, its the complete opposite. Perhaps its just an era thing but teachers go too easy on kids. There's no control, kids don't want to learn, they talk back and do whatever they want. Fights are a normal thing with almost no discipline attached. Look at the news, the school had to shutdown due to fighting. Kids wear pajamas to school on a normal basis. The place looks like a slumber party between the way kid and staff dress. Most of the people working there graduated within the past 10 years and have minimal experience. The place needs a better leader, bigger budget and guidance. Enjoyed it when I went there a long time ago but shocked how much its changed. Friends of mine have all reverted to moving out of the town and pulling their kids from the school. One of them saw their kid declining in learning ability. He thought his kid was just goofing off in school. He'd ask him how school was and what he learned (elementary). His kid would respond with 'nothing' or 'no much'. After continually getting this answer he was positive his kid was becoming a bad student so he set a meeting with the teacher to correct it. Come to find out the teacher told him things are different now, we don't force education upon kids. We don't want to stress them out so we don't teach new things every day. If they want to learn, then they learn, if not, its not forced. He was stunned and no longer in the district.Other Review1y ago - Ps 2

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI attended Redemption Christian Academy. I started in Pre-K and graduated from high school in 1994. Redemption has taught me so much. I have learned discipline, and to give 100% in whatever I do. I am currently a nurse and in-spite of my schedule I always find time to volunteer and give back. Redemption is a great school and program to prepare anyone for the real world.Parent Review1y ago
