The rumors are true. As a parent ive experience most unprofessional set of individuals employed there. Incidents with my children as far as with bulling my child's medical condition, that was info was presented to the class by a teacher. Marks on a child from biting but no incident report sent home,

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a parent, I'd strongly advise others to consider other options. There's been ongoing bullying issues towards the minority in numbers that haven’t been addressed PROPERLY by the administration. These kids feel scared attending this place because of fights and racial comments towards them. Another important issue and serious concern is that students aren't really thriving academically. What's going on that the staff and Principal aren't really doing enough? It feels like the school isn’t providing the support that students need, and there's definitely a concern to be addressed and correct. It's important to look for an environment where every child feels safe and supported and unfortunately Watkins-Nance Elementary is not it!Other Review2mo ago - Hyatt Park Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThey dont care about parents concerns, starting from the district... homework are for the parents not for students at them ages, still with teachers without certifications, teaching stuff that teachers dont even know, no security or safe hallways, no punishment for those kids doing wrong, assistant principal dont care about education, just there for the biweekly pay. Bad school. If I can give no star it will be perfect. Thinking to start my kids homeschooling if I can't get a transfer ASAP since they dont care about education.Parent Review7mo ago - J. P.

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe front staff here are the worst, I sat in the front one day waiting on my nephew and they were just sitting there talking about somebody child and the parent. They literally kept going as if I wasn't even sitting there, I can't say the school is bad but the staff ain't hitting on nothing.Other Review9y ago - Clara Mohammed School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe Saint John Preschool staff has the ability to make EVERYONE feel like family. Educating their students while instilling Christian values has always been their priority, but they also give their students time to have fun in a safe and nurturing environment.Other Review7y ago - VV Reid School
