Independence Elementary School

My children went her all 6 years.All teachers are extremely friendly.My kids actually excited to go to school.This is a very positive and lovely place with lots of extracurricular activities for grades 3+.

My son's 1st grade teacher Mrs. Falcon should be nominated as the Teacher of the Year. What a kind, caring, compassionate, understanding young lady. If you want the best of the best as your child's teacher request Mrs. Falcon she is a true professional of 22 years of loving, nurturing, caring, & educating our children. She calls all of the class her babies & loves them as only a mother could. So blessed to have her in my son's life. I trust & love Mrs. Falcon & never worry like in the kinder grades. Full trust & confidence of the parents is important & we have it in her. She always keeps us informed by phone calls and emails & parent letters. She even calls about the little things to add to the comfort of being a worried clingy parent mommy like me. This is my sons most positive best experience in school so far. I enjoyed volunteering in the classroom & even got to sit in Mrs. Falcon's comfy black chair. She is on her feet teaching all day educating our future. It is obvious teaching children is her life & comes naturally. Next year get down to registration & reserve a seat in Mrs. Falcon's classroom. Promise you will love her. We love us sum Mrs. Falcon & she is all my son talks about even on the weekends.He adores his pretty teacher. He has learned so much and grown as a student. Bless Mrs. Falcon this year almost her entire class was boys & maybe 3 girls. I ask Mr. Roub why the imbalance of students he never called me back. Oh well I guess not all Superhero's wear capes. Mrs. Falcon is simply the best of the best. My little girl is up for 1st grade next year, we are going to have our Mrs. Falcon another year in a row. God Bless awesome teachers that actually do exist.

This was my daughters first year in kindergarten and it has been terrific! Her teacher Mrs. Jaquess is amazing with her and all the children. My daughter can be a strong willed child, but she loves going to school and has grown so much this year! The principal is at every school event and the kids all love to run over and give him a high five. My daughter thinks he is pretty awesome! All of her cocur teachers have worked hard to keep the kids in gaged, with a SOAR attitude. I am truly grateful for the staff and community of Freedom Elementary.

We have lived in VOWS for 9 years and have been praying and loving this school! I don’t understand why such low ratings because every person who is in this school has been very helpful and kind and put our students first! My granddaughter attends here and has become an Avid reader! From the principal to the teachers all have been a fundamental part of my granddaughters development and who she will become! I asked other parents and grandparents to add more positive to this page because this school is tremendous!

We had always wanted our kids to attend private Christian school and were so excited when we could finally send them. We expected a warm, welcoming environment where our kids would be encouraged in their faith as well as challenged academically. Needless to say, we were in for a rude awakening. Unless your children started with the school from day one, expect for them to have a hard time fitting in. Cliques are worse here because it is such a small school. That includes the parents. If you are a working parent, don't bother signing up for the Parent Team because all meetings are during the day. If your child has any kind of learning disability, this is not the place for you. Accommodations are not offered. We discovered that academically, our kids were doing very remedial work that was a year or more beneath their grade level. Not all teachers are certified and some have no experience in their subject matter at all. One example of many, our kids were going through the One Year Bible and journaling for math grades in Pre-Algebra. As far as being challenged in their faith, my children - who have been raised in church their whole lives - walked away from the experience not wanting anything to do with people who call themselves "Christians" because certain administrators, teachers, and students were so mean and judgmental. It was an extremely disappointing experience and not at all what we expected.
