Edna Mae Fielder Elementary School

My son loved school and learning before West Memorial. In his 3rd grade he was bullied incessantly by the students and we were in the school every couple weeks having meetings that accomplished nothing. In his first semester of 4th grade he was bullied by his teacher so bad that the school switched him out of her class for the second semester. In his second teachers class at the Valentine's party they threw for his class he was given a valentine that said "watch your back." The school continued to do nothing. I left the state and now they are harassing me about his attendance when I told them last year we were leaving because they were the worst school I've ever sent my son to. My son is 4 days into his new school in Missouri and is living school and being accepted again. This school is horrible. The teachers that do care (Coach Blegan, Ms Muller) were helpless due to the rest of the school's apathy. Keep your children out of here at all costs.

My son is in 5th grade, and he has had an incredible experience at Hayes. It is a smaller school, and the administrators and teachers know and care about each kiddo on campus. Hayes is truly a gem.

My son has been attending this school for three years, starting in the bilingual Pre-K program. The school and teachers are excellent—well-organized and truly dedicated to helping him grow and develop his skills. Each year, they host events that bring parents together to build relationships and foster a strong sense of community. Communication with the school is easy; they use online tools and email to keep parents informed about key milestones and any additional support needed.

Every day when I pick my kids up I’m thankful we’re zoned to Rylander Elementary! The staff genuinely care about all the children and seem to love their work. Truly an impressive administration and faculty, from top to bottom.

My son was at Exley for 2 and a half years! We have had the best experience. He has level 2 autism and we felt so lucky to have the kindest teachers and staff who truly accommodated to his support needs. When they say inclusion they really mean it. For any special education needs parent, I know how daunting it is. But you can rest assured that at Exley your child will be safe, so happy and is going to thrive.
