G.W. Carver Elementary School

I can’t Believe I’m saying this, and I am sincere, and I’m not making this up: a member of the special education staff needs a serious intervention. I hope this staff member gets the help needed to understand how unsettling the behavior is. Honestly not thrilled about sending my kids back there, but for now it’s all I can do. Special ed families: Please go elsewhere until they can get a more organized, professional special education team.

amazing and caring staff. i will say they are very patient and kind with their special needs students.

Principal Routt started at East in the fall of 2019 when my son started Kindergarten.She has had an absolutely wonderful impact on the school as had Assistant Principal Thomas. Routt and Thomas knows each child in the school personally and are vested in ensuring their social, emotional and academic needs are being met. Also, all of my kids teachers are happy with the school leadership which speaks volumes. Additionally, the teachers at East are stellar. They are driven and compassionate to see the students do well but also understand kids are kids and make the learning environment fun, comfortable and engaging. And the school collectively met the challenges of everything Covid sent their way. I am so happy my children get to experience the inviting, diverse and compassionate environment of East.

My kids have all gone to south salem elementary and I believe the school is excellent for general education as well as being super supportive of special needs kids. My children are thriving and I believe alot has to do with the support they have received from their teachers and staff. My kids love it there which is huge, because they actually enjoy going to school everyday.
