Kerr Elementary School

I usually don't write reviews, but when I was googling the school to call them about my kid's attendance, I was so shocked to see the rating by some of the other parents. Personally I have two kids going to Kerr elementary (one currently in 1st grade, and the other in 5th grade). My older one is on the dyslexia and speech program; whereas, my younger one is on the speech program. From my experience, the school has been fantastic to work with. The administrators I have interfaced with cares and have been very courteous. Are there incidents of bullying? yes, sure, there is; however, just with any place, I make sure I use it as on opportunity to teach my kid how to handle different scenarios and incidents. When my kid fell behind on the Starr test, they had met with me several times to go over action plan, and ensured my kid had after school tutoring. Overall, I have nothing by great things to say about kerr elementary.

Very good super good super well very

Total Waste . Kids get spoiled in this school easily.

We had a very poor experience at this school, though we tried for two years to get through it. We finally decided to move, in order to escape such a sad environment for my kids. I felt bad dropping them off daily, as they lost the sparkle in their eye for learning, socializing and enjoying school, like an elementary student should. I am so pleased with our new school. It is day and night, from Kerr. I hope the parents continue to try and create collaboration with their kids and grow the PTA. It really shows in a school and unfortunately Kerr has a very negative view on parent involvement. Good luck.

i want to like this school... I really do. Academically, I think they do a fab job. But school should also be fun and a place to develop socially. The District needs to mandate more recess time! With expectations so high kids need a break and fresh air (only 15-20 min avg per day) so they can focus better when back in class. Also, I so wish principal Streitmatter would invite parents to be a partner in our kids education vs keeping us at arms length. Discipline is tough at Kerr. For kids that thrive in structure they get through it, the kids who are free spirits struggle.
