Fern Bluff Elementary School

Besides one I didn't care for last year, all the teachers have been wonderful. The staff clearly care about the kids and I see that every day in the hallways during pick up and drop off. They greet the kids by name often and keep it positive. Public school can be a nightmare, but this one clearly is not - I'm staying in this neighborhood just to keep sending my child here. I don't relate to some of the other recent reviews posted here. I think they go above and beyond for the kids.

My daughter said she was being bullied and harassed. She also said one of her friends got inappropriately touched by another student and nobody did anything. I'm not sure if she is lying but just to be on the safe side I'm putting here. Stay safe out there!

We have been at this school for two years. We have two children attending. I have found the entire staff from the front office, to of course the teachers, friendly and engaging. I think the community is amazing as well and the opportunity to engage with the school or other parents wonderful. I have found the leadership to be solid and hear the teachers praise it as well. I feel really lucky to be a part of this community and see my kids fall in love with learning. And it is not from the point of view where everything was always smooth- both of our kids had some bumps at times with various elements from some school anxiety to reading skills. The school responded beautifully. My experience is that this is a tremendous place with wonderful people and I’m glad our family has gotten to be a part of it.

We are very happy with Patsy Sommer Elementary! The teachers are caring, dedicated, and truly invested in the students’ success. The principal leads with warmth and professionalism, creating a positive and welcoming school environment. My son loves going to school every day, and we feel grateful to be part of such a wonderful community!
