Owen Elementary School

This principal and the entire administration cant be trusted. They pull kids aside and tell them they aren't allowed to tell their parents what happens at the school. They protect bullies and shame the kids for telling on the bullies. They have yelled at the children clapped in their faces destroyed their paperwork. Its not a safe place when there is only 2 or 3 people in the whole school that actually has your kids back and protects them/makes the kids feel safe. Do not send your kids here.

This school has fully went downhill the last 2 years in my opinion there not enough teachers and 25 to 30 kids in each classroom I'm truly sad to see it like this there is so many problems within the school itself

I have had nothing but problems since day 1 since my daughter has gone to Cecelia clinton elementary school with bullying and education and the principal and most teachers are horrible and bullies them selves

This school is very unorganized, they never send home flyers of events going on for the kids. Their front office staff are very disrespectful and always have a attitude, making you feel very unwelcome.

We are a new family for this (2024-25) year, and can I just say first how wonderful everyone at this gem of a school is. Our daughter was nervous to start as a new kid starting in an older grade where students have been together for years. The students are amazing and *so* inclusive of other students. Academically, she is more engaged than ever and the teachers are all incredibly supportive. We love the hands-on approach to learning that leaves her room to explore her own interests alongside her schoolwork. We love that she goes to school in a richly diverse group of students from all different ways of thinking and backgrounds. The school has a reputation as being really strong in math and science, and that is very true--however, they are strong everywhere! We are excited about our future at University School and could not recommend it more highly.

My daughter attends Undercroft & I cannot say enough good things about this school! From the beautiful classrooms that set up to engage the child in learning to the wonderful teaching staff and SO MUCH MORE!
