Not teaching our kids simple biological facts , and then confusing them with political talking points is unacceptable . Please keep fringe crazy ideas away from impressionable kids.
Posted by a parent on 4/26/2023Not good. I have twice received evaluations of my children where the teacher has used the wrong name (from cutting a pasting a comment for another child). If your child is "fully proficient" that is good enough even if they are bored to tears. The school librarian is great. My kids loved chorus, ban
Posted by a parent on 11/8/2019I have an unusual perspective. I am a life long Vermonter. I have a child at this school and another is a freshman in college. Like other parents have said, there are some excellent teachers and some really mediocre teachers. I think the school does a decent job of emphasizing character development
Posted by a parent on 1/23/2018Founders has a group of dedicated teachers and they work hard to make school a positive learning environment. I think the teachers could ask more of their students. It is challenging for them to provide differentiated instruction for the above grade level student, in my opinion. The guidance counsel

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have had four children attend Essex Elementary. It used to be a creative, well rounded school, but in the past couple of years under the most recent principal, it has become a cookie cutter, teaching to the test type school. Frankly, I am glad we are finished with Essex Elementary this year. The principal doesn't listen, is temperamental and needs anger management counseling. He really needs to leave so that the teachers can do their jobs the way they used to be able to do, when it was a high quality school. If I sound unhappy it's because I am. If we had another child, that child would go to a private school or we would move to another school district. Essex Elementary has become that bad under this principal. Nobody smiles there, not a great atmosphere for kids. All due to poor leadership.Parent Review12y ago - Summit Street School
