Edgewood Elementary School

Great School. Teachers, Principal, and all staff are great. Our kids love it here. Have been sending my 2 kids here for 3k, 4k, kindergarten and now first grade. They have excellent communication to parents, are making updates/renovations to the building and school grounds as needed.

This school is extremely discriminatory against certain parents and children as well as the school office staff is extremely rude and disrespectful. They brush things under the rug and decide that they will make fun of students in front of their faces and act like they are not doing anything wrong. The office secretary is extremely rude and acts as if she is annoyed by the kiddos coming into the office. They also think they have a law degrees as well as nursing degrees and choose to diagnose children’s ailments without consulting the actual nurse.

I am thankful that we left Glenwood. My son was there for K-4 until the start of 5th grade, and my daughter went to 3rd grade. The math and actual academics at the school are horrible. We moved to Germantown, and have been working a lot to get our kids up to average when they were both achieving as much as possible at Glenwood. Mrs. Rocha, and some other staff are wonderful, but the school as a whole is run more like a daycare than a school. There is no shortage of parties, fundraisers and other non-academic events, but there is little in the way of academics. If you have the option, look elsewhere.

I have a son who is special needs. The greenfield special ed team was absolutely HORRIBLE! Faught me on every step to get my son the proper help. We waisted years there. Very disappointed with the lack of caring about these kids education experience.

Some teachers are fine! But my only concern is Principal Jennifer Doucette. She constantly yells to students. She is very rude, and always pushes students to the edge. Bullying in this school is unacceptable. Please contact MPS About this principle.

Garland is an absolutely amazing school. We live in a nearby suburb but wanted our child in a more diverse environment. We chose to apply for open enrollment. I am so glad we did. The classrooms are nurturing, have high academic rigor, and behavioral accountability. My child has so many friends, LOVES her teachers, and wakes up every morning EXCITED to go. She references her school as part of her family. MPS gets a lot of negative press. This school negates all that. The entire staff is warm, welcoming, and professional. You can tell they enjoy their jobs. I highly recommend this school if you want your child to love learning and form lasting friendships in a warm classroom. High standards, behavior support, accountability, and respectful classroom behavior- if thats what you want look no further.

Horrible I got sick being stuck outside all day in snow because of this school
