Edward Bain School Of Language And Art

The teachers work very hard at this school and make everyone feel welcome.

I hate that these websites only use test scores to rank schools. Grant Elementary is an excellent school with excellent teachers. The principal is high-energy and fun-loving and the kids love him. He's easy to talk to. My second grader has shown consistent growth and is performing well above grade level, all because of the teachers. Teachers are kind and patient and they also have high expectations. I have had nothing but great experiences with the teachers so far. The school welcomes volunteers with open arms. I have volunteered at the school and seen the excellent teaching with my own eyes. We've also loved the family nights that they have every month like Bingo Night, movie night, fall festival, and winter festival. We have volunteered and met many other families this way.

My son has been here for Pre-K and now Kindergarten. The office and teachers have very poor communication. The teachers class size is to large for them to pay attention to all the children. My son has learned many very inappropriate behaviors in the class room. Kids are always fighting. The first couple weeks of school, he got pee'd on by another student, hit in the face twice. And now he has ring worm. I would not recommend this school to anyone. We are working on getting him switched to a different school.

It's okay, but one thing that bothers me is the school's consistently bad test scores. The school does not seem to be able to make any real progress in this area. I do, however, like that the school has a uniform policy. Though I wish more American schools would do this, it does not really alter too much the environment of the school.
