Ott Elementary School

My son did the Headstart’s program here but the overall experience with the school horrible. I have never once seen the principal wait I seen her once coming out her car she walked in disappeared never seen her again when you walk through the halls all the teachers are gossiping yelling at a kid and just look miserable . I don’t understand the need for background check if Headstart parents can’t go back there when it’s urgent !! They put so much rules on Headstart parents like not parking in the front but there own parents do it . Staff needs to be more approachable

I enjoyed all of my early childhood at this school and believe I wouldnt be where I am without the support of my old admin and teachers.

I am extremely disappointed with the principal’s approach to communication. She avoids engaging with parents, offers no transparency about teachers or class progress, and leaves us completely in the dark. Instead of addressing concerns, she deflects blame. For the benefit of the school, it would be far better to have a principal who truly prioritizes student well-being, is open to parent concerns, and fosters effective communication to bring about real positive change. Mrs. Mantle should be removed from the Principal position!

My two grandchildren are in this school and it is impressive how much they have learned and how the teachers work 1:1 with them to achieve their goals. The dual language program is excellent.
