Nichols Elementary School

This has been the very best elementary school. The staff is kind and friendly. Our children have learned so much. They offer many great extra curricular programs for our kids. Our kids love attending this school.

I have worked at Steubing Elementary for over 20 years and my own children went through elementary school there. Steubing has a close knit, family feel that makes it a very nurturing environment for young children. The educators are extremely knowledgeable, and truly care. The families are involved and very supportive. Steubing gives children an excellent academic foundation, while instilling strong character traits.

If I could give this school zero stars I would. My child has adhd and is on a 504 plan. This school did not follow his plan. His teacher pegged him as a “bad kid” because he is hyper and she was constantly reprimanding him in front of the other students. This then caused all the kids in his class to not want to be his friend because he is now the “bad kid”. I know this because children would approach me and tell me this. His teacher also told me that I needed to put him on medication ( in front of him in the car pool line, as my child was getting into his booster seat). In addition, another child was picking on my child and they attempted to excuse it because that boy has autism and adhd. First off, every child should be treated equally. It’s not okay for my kid to continue to get picked on because that child also has autism. Every kid has something going on in their lives (because again mine also has adhd), bullying is inexcusable. And need I mention they shouldn’t be releasing another child’s medical info to other parents (it’s against the law). Or in my child’s case, be getting involved in the medical decisions of those parents. Stay away from this school if you can. It will only stress out your child and make them doubt their character (my kid started to literally think he was a bad kid just because he is a little hyper) and make you feel helpless and my child is only in kinder. Some teachers don’t need to be teachers. He’s moved on to another school and has an amazing teacher and many friends. That goes to show that his old teacher was toxic (my son’s therapist that helps him control his impulses- even said so, that “ she’s breeding an unhealthy environment” and that’s why all the kids in her class were mean to each other and Burke did nothing about it.

It is okay but the food is disgusting i mean cold frozen and old. My friend sitting in front of me reported seeing a rat running across the cafeteria stage THIS afternoon! REALLY?!
