Summerville Elementary School

Great school that puts kids first! FES is the place to BEE!

My child was treated poorly. He was made to eat a sandwich out of the trash.Bullied and there was abuse by other kids that did not get reported to the parents. My child went from an A student to hating school. I wish we never enrolled them here, the school should have been closed sooner.

Our child has been attending SCS for two years now. The staff is wonderful, from the principal to the teacher's. The care for the children can be seen in everything from the events planned, to the curriculum for the children, to the learning environment.

This has been the most unorganized unprofessional group of so called educators they are so backwards and out of touch. I am so glad this school year is over.

I attended this school from 2nd to 5th grade, and I remember absolutely loving it. The activities were always very fun and creativity focused and in my experience the teachers and staff were extremely supportive. Not sure if they still do this but when I went on half days they would be club days and all students were required to join a club. There were tons of variety in the choices and I really love the idea of, for lack of better words, forcing kids to participate in those clubs and helping them to find things they enjoy while making friends with their peers. Feild days always included tons of activities and other events like color runs and dances were always enjoyable both during and out of school hours. I remember hating every time when they would have counselors come into class and teach about expressing feelings healthily and general mental health awareness but looking back, I think it's absolutely amazing that they cared to educate us on things like that while we were young. Seeing as I was a child I can't speak much on the actual quality of education but I do recall it being very parent involved and test scores look high so I guess they're doing pretty good in that regard. Cafeteria food was about as good as cafeteria food can be and the variety in play areas they had when I attended (2 playgrounds, a courtyard, laps around the carpool lane, and a small grassy area) was enjoyable and I rarely found myself bored. With all that being said, I haven't been at this school in nearly 5 years but if they still run it like they did back then I totally recommend it.

I was hesitant about ABES at first because of the number of people who have written bad reviews about it. Our experience at ABES, however, has been fantastic. My student is in first grade; both his kindergarten and first grade teacher have been phenomenal and very communicative. I truly feel like my student feels supported while he is at school and I have witnessed first-hand how much he has learned. I think children get out of school what they (and their families) put into it. ABES offers all of the necessary opportunities to be successful!
