The school has been amazing to work with. We've been through learning disabilities, speech therapy, dealing with bullying, and dealing with mental health issues, and through it all the school has been amazingly supportive and willing to work with us to find a lasting solution. The diversity is amazi
Posted by a parent on 2/14/2018Our personal experience with Spotswood Elementary has been wonderful. The teachers, staff, Principal, Vice Principal are supportive, welcoming and always eager and willing to help out. Their library is a great, colorful, open space for kids to read and study in. The cafeteria is a fun place to meet
Posted by a parent on 3/31/2015This school is home to a culturally and linguistically diverse population of students requiring a community to come together in an effort to provide the foundation for a successful life. In addition, the school works within the community to balance and provide for the socioeconomic need of the the s
Posted by a community member on 9/14/2014This school has a big heart & a true desire to succeed, however they are not fully equipped to do this. There are, what I am told by administration, more than 20 languages spoken in our school and yet there are few who can speak even the most common second languages. The classrooms can be chaotic du

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageA lot of amazing teachers and faculty, they care so much. BUT the special education classes are just below mediocre in that they are not actually teaching the kids to their disabilities, just pulling them along with busy-work or activities. Lower grades are absolutely amazing, around the middle of 3rd grade the academic support just sort of falls off and it's just SOL's and teachers going too fast.Parent Review6y ago - Keister Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son has autism. He did well at Elon Rhodes, Stone Spring, and Bluestone. Unfortunately, when the school district transferred him to Kiester over our objections, things did not go well. The crisis team was good, but the two teachers of his grade had no interest in preventing crisis from occurring. My son's performance went from remarkable to disappointing. His interest in school disappeared. Despite several meetings with the teachers and the full team, the teachers repeatedly exacerbated what should have been brief expressions of autistic frustration. Then they began suspending him for his behavior--three times in two weeks.We couldn't make any headway with the teachers, and the school district refused to move my son to another school. We decided that home schooling, despite the challenges for my son and for us, was a better choice. I would never send him back to Kiester. The teachers didn't listen and the administration, which seemed to listen, still failed to take action.Parent Review3mo ago - Waterman Elementary School
