Whitestone Elementary School

This is my son’s second year at Blockhouse Elementary, he loves it and so do I. He never went to daycare or school before this so he was new to the whole dynamic of school. Both years in a row the staff and teachers have been nice and patient. It took my son a couple weeks or so both years to get in the groove of things. I honestly owe it to the teachers for being so patient and understanding that it may take some kids a little time to adapt. I am so proud to call Blockhouse Elementary our school! Our neighborhood has a great community of parents that keep in touch and keep each other in the loop. I feel like overall we scored when we moved in this neighborhood 4 years ago.

Both our kids are attending CCMason for past 2 years. We were apprehensive of the school in the beginning given the ratings but our fears quickly vanished. The teachers are absolutely wonderful and genuinely care about the kids. Highly recommend this school for anyone looking for nourishing environment that fosters growth mindset.

Wonderful staff! They welcome parents to attend their kids during lunch time any day. They also have a very unique policy that if a child is in preK then the parent is allowed to walk that child right to the classroom the whole year every single day. No other school allows it. This was a major criteria for us. They dont stress much about late time also which is nice. Kids are very happy their and love their teachers.

Overall, the teachers provide a wonderful learning experience. It is the school front office staff that are extremely exclusive. They put on events at the school, but if you dont have money, dont have a car, dont have a computer or dont have internet access, well then, you are out of luck. They set up events for you to spend time with your children for their events, but then demand you have access yo certain things in order to participate. If you dont have access to cash, sorry, if you dont have access to internet, sorry, if you dont have access to a computer, sorry. Also, I have witnessed the principal make inappropriate comments during a school function, asking to parents to kiss again, in the middle of a children's function. Incredibly unacceptable.

I have three children who have attended Pleasant Hill. This is our 8th year of having at least one child there. Overall Pleasant Hill is great. Two of my children have received extra services and testing for disabilities and I’ve been very happy with the staff and how they’ve helped my students with these hurdles. Very happy to be at Pleasant Hill.

Drop off is the worst here. Ive been skipped over at least times dropping my son off where they open the door for you. Teacher so far is okay better than the last school. Everything else sucks. The front desk lady is rude, drop off women are rude and no one knows how to drive.
