My experience as a parent has been the worst. My child’s experience was equally as bad. Pelican Elementary staff are the absolute worst. They are so unprofessional, rude and disrespectful. I would never recommend this Elementary School to anyone. Mr. C was not a great Principal neither is his replacement Mrs. M. The gals that assist with opening car doors in the morning constantly slams my car door. All staff at that school are ignorant and miserable and it shows. They are all fake. Pelican need to replace all their current staff and hire more educated, respectful, and self-motivated staff who takes initiative and wants to work. The school board needs to be more involve into this school.

Every member of the staff shows that they truly love what they do. How they remember these students by name, beats me.. lol Although my son has learning difficulties, he’s never been isolated or treated indifferently. He has learned a lot . This school has proven time and time again to be the school with a heart!! Sad that my son graduates this yr, we will truly miss the staff

My son has been attending Pelican for a few years and we could not be happier. The staff are very dedicated and make you feel welcome. They seem to let kids be kids while encouraging learning. My son is also very happy here and we will be sending our other child here as well when the time comes.

This school was a 6 star school under the wonderful leadership of Principal I, Then Principal R became principal ruined the school. She had a huge amount of staff leave and parents pulled their children out as well. She didn't listen to the parents or make students her first priority. I have not seen any improvement with Principal C. He does not return emails or respond to your concerns. It's sad that one principal spent 30 years to make it a class act school, then to have it become a place I would never send my children.
