The building is depressing. There are more water stains than students. Enthused students were a rarity before covid, though covid was handled well. I felt engaged, as a parent. It was not the worst way to spend one year, but kids deserve better. The bathrooms reeked of teen sweat and despair. Additi
Posted by a parent on 7/26/2025I hate this school because the principals put the blame on you and not the person who’s in the wrong. My friend got ISS for putting her phone away but a bully didn’t get ISS or any punishment really.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageVery Satisfied! My Twins attend Duncan Elementary. One of them is dependent on 24/7 Nursing care. This school has gone above and beyond all measures to meet all of her needs from supplying a Nurse that's by her side throughout the whole day to making sure she has complete access to all areas. She is able to get everywhere with her wheelchair. Everyone from her peers to staff has been very welcoming and accepting to her needs. We Love Dr. Hill and everyone else here! Thank you for all you do!Parent Review5y ago - Wellford Academy Of Science And Techology

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe absolutely love this school! We're moving next year and will be out of the zone for Welford but we will be using school choice to ensure our daughter gets to continue going here! From the teachers and staff to the parent involvement and event nights, there's no other school for us!Parent Review1mo ago - Tyger River Elementary
