Both of our kids are going to Paradise Elementary and from what I can tell, they love it! It's a small school but the staff is amazing.

My son started pre-k this year here. We have had an awesome experience. His teacher, the aide, as well as all staff members are friendly and focused on the students. They keep parents very involved, and have alot of fundraisers to help keep the school funded well. My son has excelled and made many friends. We are very satisfied with Paradise!

My two children just moved to this school. I am not impressed. It is not an organized as it should be and there is such an influx of new first time teachers that makes a parent wonder what happened to the seasoned teachers. When incidents occur, from severe allergies to bullying, the teachers at majority take care of the issue, some with little rebuttal. But forget about talking with the Principal on these issues in her school. It takes on average 3 days for her to get back to you, by that time you have moved on. There are a handful of children in each grade that are REALLY bad and I'm finding that the new teachers don't really know how to handle them, which makes it harder on the children that want to learn, succeed. Most of the class time is spent correcting the misbehavior.

All the teachers here are great with teaching and make the kids enjoy school. I have 2 boys that attend this school and the PTA is excellent about caring and bringing the community together. My 3 rd child will be attending in a couple more years and I wouldn't think about bringing them anywhere else. What means the most is that everyone here makes u feel like family- all the teachers are smiling u don't leave this school without someone not speaking and the fact that my children love going to school makes this the best school ever.
