Christenberry Elementary School

The teachers in this school go the extra mile and then some for their students. The administration however will do whatever it takes to squash the hopes, dreams, and joy of those teachers. Many teachers dread coming to work everyday solely because of the way administration runs the place. They are not allowed to do what is best for children because of the egos in the office. They are limited to reading scripts and doing things all the same way. The teachers are great, but are being held back from their full potential.

Unfortunately, we are zoned for this school. Run far from this school if you can. My children were coming from with bruises on them from other kids bullying them at school (physically and verbally). I followed allnproper routes and nothing was done. The teachers claimed it's not bullying because it was happening to other kids too and that there was nothing they could do about it. Teachers are not supported by the admin to be able to make a difference. I ejded up having to file a report with the district to have anything done. My children went from loving school to being severely depressed and now they hate going to school. They don't feel safe at school and I have since pulled them out and resorted to home schooling.

Amazing it helped me grow as a child to be a leader and role model.

We have been at First Lutheran for 5 years now and have enjoyed every moment. My kids are excited to get to school in the mornings and happy when I pick them up from school. The culture of the school is warm and welcoming and accepting of kids of all types of personalities and interests. We love First Lutheran and consider everyone there as family.
