This review is mainly for their panthers preschool program and administrative staff. My daughter attended the preschool program when it was at Crim and I loved it. I was shocked to hear the entire program moved to Adamsville 2 years ago but thought it should be the same as all the teachers are the same. Boy was I wrong. I learned what a difference it makes when you have good supporting and administrative staff. The staff at Adamsville do not communicate with you and very unresponsive. You can never reach anyone even when you have an urgent matter. The nurse is always out of office and doesn’t reply until at least over a week later. And more importantly, they lie about a lot of things. When you can get to someone, they will tell you what you want to hear just to brush the matter off when in reality, they don’t care and aren’t/won’t do anything to address or resolve your issue. My son lost transportation this year and I was told there’s no school bus for everyone in the preschool program. That was a lie as I see preschoolers hop on the buses everyday during pick up. Then I asked again and was told none of the bus service my area. That was also a lie as I see a bus with 2 students on it pass by my street everyday. So when you ask a question they don’t want to answer, they will just ignore you completely. But to be fair, the teachers in the program are wonderful and they truly care for each and every student. Some teachers will go above and beyond to ensure the well being of the students. My daughter had such great experiences with her teachers (which they are still in Adamsville) that she still talks about how wonderful they are to this day (she is currently in grade 1). There is no point in wasting your money in this program when you can pay a little more and have longer hours and better than experience elsewhere. The school hours are so short that I literally only have 2 hours in between drop off and pick up. Every day, I just have the urge to pull my son out of the program just to keep my sanity. But the only reasons why I kept my son there is because of the teachers and he loves going to school to play with his classmates. I cannot wait for the school year to be done.

Dr.white and the whole staff have set a positive tone. It is a diverse school with many resources. The rating are what brought me to the neighborhood and the amazing staff and wonderful families are what keeps me here

My school is great because it's diversified and gives many opportunities for growth for the children. The PTO gets the parents involved and I like it because the meetings are at night which allows more parents to be involved than it would if the meetings were during the day. I would like it more if teachers were more aware of some learning disabilities. For example I heard dyslexia affects 1 out of 6 children but I don't think there are enough teachers that could recognize the symptoms. I think that teachers should have more knowledge in this area.

Adamsville School is one of the best schools in the district. The principal is amazing, a truly caring, dedicated and professional individual that is raising this school to limits I don't think anyone could have imagined. Under her leadership the school is now a Rewards School...who could ask for anything more than having their children attend a school who keeps rising to the top. The teachers/staff/related service providers and CST are great and always willing to go above and beyond. Children receive a fine education here and it is such a blessing that they also get to learn from each other and experience diversity which is what makes the world go round. Go Adamsville! Keep up the good work!

Just average. Way too many kids. Some teachers are excellent, some are not. My child attended Bradley Gradens before and comparing to Adamsville, BG is, in my opinion, much better. Maybe because BG's principal is more a teacher than a school's manager and she looks at each kids individually, maybe because they have wonderful staff in the offices.. Overall, my child felt much better in Bradley Gardens. Also, if you compare the results of the state tests, Adamsville is far behind Bradley Gardens. PTO is doing great job.
