Springfield Twp El School-Erdenhm

The administrative leadership of this school is excellent! The teachers are highly educated and respond to the needs of the students and their families.

Wonderful school! Some reviewers mentioned needing a new principal, which has happened. I’ve been very impressed!

Erdenheim and Enfield. Enfield is a sweet wonderful little school with a terrific leader who is professional and polished. She is enthusiastic and you can tell she really wants to make Enfield the BEST it can be. Erdenheim, on the other hand, is in dire need of a new principal. Every year I cross my fingers that she retires. She is unprofessional and unpolished--a stark difference to the fabulous other principals in Enfield, the middle and high schools. The teachers at Erdenheim seem like they could use an innovative and progressive-minded leader! It's elementary school for goodness sake--experiment, be creative, try new things in the school. This school is nuts and bolts. Sad. The children are brimming with curiosity and energy. This principal squashes people who think differently. On another note: the new superintendent is amazing--polished, professional and very smart!!

I have two children in this school, a year apart from each other and they just started 3&4th grades today. We've had a full school year of experience with (2) second grade teachers and (1) third grade teacher. We loved one of the second grade teachers, was neutral about the other and absolutely couldn't stand the third grade teacher. The school itself is new and has a nice environment. Nice facilities and classrooms, nice outdoor play areas. They have some wonderful programs. There is a very active PTA but it is extremely cliquish. There is a lot to like about Erdenheim but there is quite a bit of room for improvement.

There are too many staff members from the township. It is uncomfortable to take your kids out to dinner and see their teacher at the bar. The principal is clearly living for the pension and does not know or does not care what goes on in the classroom or the gossipy faculty lunch room. If one teacher doesn't like your child, watch it! They TALK and soon your child will be in trouble for everything! Not a nice place at all.
