Elizabeth Scott Elementary School

Not the great school people hyped it to be. All their resources and focus go towards their Hispanic and ESL population. Other reviewers are right.

This school has gone downhill so much in the last 5 years — it’s very sad to see. As the previous reviewer mentioned this is essentially an all ESL school.If your kid has an IEP good luck getting the accommodations because resources all go towards one group of students, they won’t got towards your child. The school does have a bullying issue that they are very aware of and won’t address or resolve because it requires them to admit that their ESL experiment isn’t working.

This school is not what it used to be, please don’t be deceived by word of mouth suggesting it’s a “great school.” It developed a great reputation over the years, but around 2019 they redistricted the school boundaries, and now bus in children up and down Route 1, as far south the Greenleigh Mobile Home Park, and as far north as 288/95 offramp. The “upper middle class” families in Mount Blanc and Meadowview used to go to Scott but were redistricted to Enon Elementary. The school’s focus is heavily centered around ESL, and the majority of the resources go to this population of students. If your student is not ESL, they will struggle to receive the attention they deserve from staff and teachers. The staff does not identify bullying well at all, and usually end up punishing the kids on the receiving end of the bullying, instead of the actual bullies...you can probably guess why. All the 5 star reviews are from pre-2019...wonder why there hasn’t been any recently?

Both my wife and I are highly-educated educators and this school is absolutely amazing! The student body is VERY diverse which is great for student learning. The teachers care so much about the students and the administrative team cultivates a commitment to excellence that was evident in September! We could not ask for a better school.

We have two children working their way through Elizabeth Scott elementary school right now. We have been 100 percent pleased with this school. Our experience has been wonderful. The teachers and staff are cooperative and caring. They take special care in placement of students within classes and they even make the SOLs fun with chants and special attention. They have special activities for students they do reading over extended breaks and they have lots of help in pulling kids out that need an extra boost.
