Winston Intermediate School of Excellence

Both stepdaughters have attended and one is currently attending this school. Teachers are ineffective when attempting to control their classrooms. Bullying is just a norm. Students are quickly given a learning disability as an explanation for poor progress.

Kelly is an Exemplary School. There are quality teachers and caring staff. The school is very clean. We are proud of our neighborhood school.

I am extremely disappointed with my experience at Sarah King Elementary. The level of professionalism from the administration and some staff members has been very concerning. One of the biggest issues I have experienced involves my son’s therapy services. My son has a family service therapist who has proper authorization to go to the school and provide therapy to him. Despite this authorization, the school has repeatedly refused to allow the therapist access to see my son on campus. This has interfered with services that are important for his well-being and development.When trying to address concerns with the principal, the conversations often feel dismissive and unproductive. Instead of listening and working toward solutions, the tone of the discussions can come across as talking down to parents and making them feel as if their concerns are not valid or understood. Parents should feel respected when advocating for their children, but that has not been my experience. Schools should be working with families and professionals to support students, not creating barriers for children who need services. I hope the administration begins to take parents’ concerns seriously and improves the way they communicate and work with families.Overall, the school needs leadership and staff who truly care about the students and their well-being and who are willing to work with families. Parents should not feel like they are being talked down to or treated as if their concerns do not matter.I sincerely hope changes are made so that students and families receive the support, respect, and professionalism they deserve.

Price Elementary is a very good school for children. Principal and Teacher always motivate children to do well all throughout the school year, not only during testing time. Children are always looking forward to going to school. The reason I enjoy having my children attend Price is because it is a good atmosphere and always greet children before and after school. Attention is given to the students from the moment they walk in and parents are greeted as well. One thing that they can improve on is having more activities which involve parents and students.

My daughter started school this year and she has learned so much. I am very impressed with the school and teachers. It is like a family.
