John Colemon Elementary School

This is a multicultural and Title 1 school. The teachers are passionate and there is lots of support for behavior. The test scores are not fabulous, but that is largely due to the fact that there are many bilingual children. Their English has not caught up with the academics (which makes sense because learning a new language to speak fluently takes about 3 years but academic language takes 6-8 years). The climate is excellent!

If you care about your child, do not take them here. They only care about getting your money, not the welfare of your child. They will constantly keep the place understaffed to save on money, your child will not get the proper supervision they need. They also allow known troubled into the facility who will hit and abuse the other children last day when i pulled my son out he was bleeding from his upper lip and he was sleeping in the office on the floor and when we questioned them we had no answer, They will allow this behavior to go on and do nothing about it. Stay far away. Most Racism place ever .

All three of our children attended CCDS. They had great experiences while learning so much! All teachers were welcoming and open with praise as well as corrections when needed. When it was time to start Kindergarten, our Pre-K teachers were very informative about the private school side of CCDS versus our local magnet choices. The office staff is unmatched with information and compassion! I marked Special Education as a 3/5 only because I did not have any experiences with Special Education.
