This school made me who i am today. I learned so much from all of my teachers, and even when I went to middle school, they were still happy to help(Mr.Wenger specifically, he’s now gone but he literally saved my grade in 6th grade math) .I also made some amazing friendships that I still have 7 years later.Everyone is so loving, and I had the time of my life. In fact, I still go back and volunteer because I love the school so much.

So far so good. I am very happy with our experiences. Excellent Principle and Assistant Principle. Son finished kindergarten, first, and second grades, and has continued to maintain a positive attitude about school. He has really liked his teachers, but when his first grade teacher—initially virtual during Covid-19, and later in class—was impatient and inadequate in both settings, they transferred him to another classroom with a teacher who was patient, creative, and motivating. He is learning a lot, enjoying, thriving, and more often than not comes home exited about his awesome day. [The only thing I’m not particular about are the bus drivers. I don’t if they are continuously monitored. If not, they need to be. I’ve heard from two older students about their negative experiences with his driver, which makes me question the judgement/attitude of their current, regular driver.]

I have 5 grandkids that are either going to this school now or were students in the past. Top notch school due to excellent leadership by the principal, Jonathan Day. He is very passionate about his job and it is reflected in scores and ratings.

100%We are ecstatic that this school is our school. I have a daughter that is attending here now and another daughter that will be attending soon. the teachers at this school are all here because this is what they want to do. every teacher I have met is fully invested in the school and the students. I feel blessed that Mulberry is our school and that my daughter has had an introduction to education that is this positive. My daughter loves learning and math and sings songs about loving math. This school is partly to blame for that... in a good way.

We moved our first grader to Mulberry this year for the small class sizes and the project based learning. It is everything we hoped for and more. My daughter comes home from school excited about what she learned everyday and is finally excelling. The projects give the students the opportunity to learn the soft skills that are no longer taught in most schools while they are learning the application of science and social studies concepts. The administration is receptive and supportive of the parents, the students, and the teachers. The consistency and communication creates and atmosphere conducive to learning.

I am both a parent and educator and could not speak highly enough about this school, the staff, and teachers. Students are given the highest quality teachers and support. All kids are taught by gifted certified teachers regardless of their educational standing. It is important to realize no school is perfect, no students are perfect, and we as parents are not perfect. What is important to realize is this school constantly puts students first even if we might not agree with every decision. Mulberry is the only elementary school (private or public) I would want my children to be in.

In the upcoming fall, I will send my third student to Mulberry Elementary and I couldn't be happier. When it comes to my children I am well aware that I expect a high standard. Mulberry Elementary, with its teachers and administrators, doesn't just meet those standards. They exceed them.

Mulberry standards and education discriminates highly on special ed. The leadership of mrs. Stranahan is mediocre and I would consider her a dictator, not a leader. Some of the teachers my child had bullied her and taunted her in ways where it was hard to prove her case because it was her word against the the teachers. I did not feel my child was emotionally safe. The principal did nothing. Many parents I know of have pulled their children out. Some of the gifted children were pulled out because the developed anxiety due to the stress of their teachers and principal. But mrs stranahan got her award of school of excellence by the governor and that's all that matters to her!

I really don't see how this school was rated a 10. My son had a lot of problems in this school. Teachers made a lot of mistakes. No one seemed to be on the same page. Thank God his in middle school now.

My daughter just completed 5th grade at Mulberry. We absolutely love the school. The teachers are phenomenal. My daughter came from another county where she was desperately struggling in Math. Not only did the staff at Mulberry bring her up to speed, but they did it in the allotted school time. This made school an enjoyable experience for my daughter, and we are forever grateful.

This is our 2nd year at this school and my kids love it! My girls had some issues last year in the 5th grade with being bullied and kids using bad language and it was taken care of right then and there. All the teachers are great, there is no such thing as a bad teacher at this school. The specials teachers are just as great.Even the PTA is wonderful, all the parents on PTA are sweet and helpful and never make you feel left out or like they are better then you like most PTAs do. I think out of all the schools my kids have been to this is the best one and I plan on staying in their district so my other 2 kids can go here
