They lack diversity and integrity. Every review that isn’t appealing is always deleted. It’s all wrong.

Great school. The principal and teachers are very involved and closely work with the parents. Mr. Martin the principal has been very proactive and closely works with the parents & teachers. So far my daughter has had great experience.

Coming from abroad (Europe) i was anxious about the schools in USA. I am more than happy from Waterloo. My child doesn't speak English but he has all the attention he needs. The students with the help of all teachers and staff are doing their BEST.

Not sure. I have had mixed feelings.

I am *so* happy my son and daughter go here. It doesn't have the highest test scores in Howard County, but some of the kids just learning English probably struggle a bit. The educators really try hard with all of the students. There's a very positive happy atmosphere in the school.

I'm so glad we moved into the Waterloo ES district. The teachers and leadership team are top notch at this school. My favorite part of Waterloo is the number of curriculum extension units (CEUs) that challenge students in so many interesting areas. Also the orchestra has been amazing. Great school!

I'm a parent of a 5th grader and I think the school is great. Good teachers that communicate well with parents. Principle and other staff are friendly and approachable. Great supportive environment with a well behaved student body. My daughter has done well here and has good grades

Waterloo fosters excellent academic preparation. Furthermore, the principal and every teacher I've met have been warm, caring people who are truly interested and supportive of my children's growth and development. Hooray for Waterloo!

My son started Waterloo preschool 2 months ago and it has been amazing! The staff is very supportive and makes everyone feel welcome and special! I have not encountered any member of staff that did not offer assistance. The Principal, Mrs. Webster is truly great, very involved and fosters a positive atmosphere within the school.

I can't ask God for a better school and staff than we have at Waterloo. I have two daughters who have been at Waterloo for 3 and 2 years. The quality of instruction and the staff are top notch. From Mrs. Webster to Ms Yascoe-Markle, to Ms. Clark, to Ms kuegler, to Ms. Pleasant, thank y'all for all that you do to add value to my kids.
