Read what parents are saying about Elkin Lewis SchoolDespite the lack of funding in the district and parental involvement in this neighborhood, Elkin Lewis has continued to thrive, offering a full roster of classes to elementary students including art, science, music, computers and gym. I know that the conditions aren't perfect but I am very satisfied with the degree of commitment the teachers and staff have to the students at this school. Kudos!

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs co-founder of the Friends of H.A. Brown I came in knowing how wonderful the school was due to my experience as a student teacher in the Fall of 2011. Many of the teachers and staff have been working at the school since then and some even longer. The low turn over creates a welcoming, comfortable and home-like feel as the students know the teachers from kindergarten through middle school. Principal Carnivale has implemented many important changes that have increased attendance, student attention, and an engaged student community. All students have computer classes, visual art, physical education and music with the opportunity to take string and woodwind instrument lessons. The Friends of Brown and the Home and School Association have been working collaboratively towards fund raising goals and student incentives and events. Volunteers have kept the library open for three years now providing many of the students the opportunity to borrow books, and this year we have added story reading to classes during their library time. The school represents a rich diverse ethnic body between students, teachers and staff. There are many Spanish speakers as well as a range of varying Chinese dialects and Vietnamese being spoken within the building. It certainly takes a village to make this school the diamond in our neighborhood and it is worth it! I am more than excited to be able to enroll my son when he is of age.Other Review6y ago - Cramp William School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a graduate, I can truly say that my experience at Visitation is irreplaceable. Although the location is not the safest, I feel as though the principal and teachers do their best to ensure that the children's welfare in their first priority. The bond between the students and the faculty made me feel as though I was part of one large family. Teachers know the students' needs and always assist them accordingly. Overall, Visitation has an excellent curriculum and have become a safe haven for all children.Other Review9y ago
