Wright Brothers Pre-K-8 School @ Grant

My son performs above average in his class, he also has a bit of an attitude problem (he's 5...). His teacher suggested this enrichment behavioral program. I complied because I just want whats best for my son. He thrives in that program. Here's why: there are more than one teacher and its a small class. In his regular class there are 17 students to ONE teacher. He needs a bit more attention than they can offer. His teacher still complains about his behavior and went as far to ask if he was autistic and tried to refer us to south community..... his pediatrician has no concerns about his development. So, in the end he will be going to Emerson Academy. This school does not foster individualism or encourage intelligence.

This school has been wonderful for my kids. My daughter has been going for the last 4 years. I only have complaints about 1 teacher but besides that tge rest of staff is wonderful!

My three kids are in this school,all of them love their teachers even the nurse,one of my kids is autistic and he loves hanging out with her when he has his moments,the best part is that they always help doing what they can to keep him at school . I HAVE A LOT TO THANK THEM.

My daughter is in 3rd grade and has done so well. She was having trouble with reading last year in the public school but just half a year at Temple and her reading went from bad to right where she should be. The teachers at Temple really care about the kids! My daughter loves going to school!

The teachers at this school seem wonderful. The school feels understaffed compared to the number of students it serves and the rooms are overcrowded. My child has almost thirty kids in their room, which is counterproductive to learning, considering the teachers do not have aides. So that is one teacher trying to teach 30 kids with a lot of different needs. They also only have one recess a day, which is 10 minutes long, and no playground equipment. Just a parking lot to play in. That is not enough time for play. Recess is also frequently taken away as punishment, so some kids don't really get to play. I get it's a Catholic school, but really? They're kids. They're going to make some mistakes and taking the only 10 minutes they have to relax seems harsh. I never really get to see work, just grades on the report card. Their is a ton of pressure on kids to test high on map test and lots of pressure for good test scores. My oldest child is in tears over the testing pressure. They handed out worksheets this year with their previous test scores on it to help the kids try and "beat" that score. It is a LOT of pressure. My guess is funding is tied to these scores? I'm not sure. Just a LOT of pressure on test scores and my child feels like a walking number.Overall- the school feels like it's less focused on child development and more focused on how many kids they can cram into a classroom and how high they can score on a test. I plan to pull my children and find a better school that is more child-focused.
