I have a 5th grader who has been there since 3rd grade. Though he had a bit of a struggle the first year he was at Price he immediately gained motivation to go to school because of his 3rd grade teacher, the staff, and a few good friends. And his experience at school only got better with each year. I can personally state that I have trust in the values and care the staff has for the students education, physical health and mental well-being. The communication between parents and staff/teachers is amazing. I feel like I always know what’s going on and not only do I feel like I’m a part of the school but I feel driven to participate and volunteer at the school. I also have a TK student here and while her first year started great, there was an incident that shook her a bit and though there were concerns about how it was being handled I later found that the incident was handled properly there was just a hiccup in the communication between staff and teachers. Once it was cleared and further investigated, I was put at ease that the incident was taken serious and thoroughly handled. Both my students here love their school Price, and as a parent there’s no better feeling knowing your kids are excited for school and that the school truly cares and caters to them reaching their fullest potential. Thank you Price!

The Principal is completely incompetent and there are several staff members who should be in jail or at least have their credentials revoked to prevent future children from being emotionally abused.

My daughter has attended Price since Kinder and is now in 5th grade. I love the fact that the teachers are skilled, experienced, and caring. The administrator listens to parents and goes above and beyond the call of duty. There are many family events such as family literacy nights, a school fair, just to name a few. Price Elementary's in my book is top notch.

Very disappointing! Not really what I expected in any shape, form or size.

This school is great! My daughter is going 5th grade this school year at Maude Price and she loves the past 4 years she spent in this school. She likes to be involved in a lot of activties and always excited to go to school and her after school program, ASPIRE. Both her regular teachers and ASPIRE teachers have been supportive of her. I like the many activties where parents get to be involved and watch their kids perform (e.g., Annual Spring Fling, Carnival, Read Across America, Halloween parade and many more) . I also love that the 4th graders staged a play and everyone gets to participate ( I just wish they improved their audio in the auditorium) .

My child just successfully finished kindergarten. I loved the teacher and he learned way more than I could have imagined. I don't know if I am allowed to name names so I wont but one of the teachers is very strict but extremely involved in creating a great future and creates structure the child needs to do well in future education. I think the principal can be a little bit better but she does okay. There needs to be more parent involvement in the volunteering and PTA (including parents that only speak Spanish) all help is important and necessary for not just your child but for other children since there is no room for a TA.

Maude Price is an excelllent School. The teachers really care and help the kids. The principal is focused and has the kids geared in the right direction. You have a lot of parent participation as well. My son loves the teachers he has had there and really enjoys going to school.

Price has the best teachers and supporting staff. My children love it there. Even though the district has gone through some severe cuts, the education remains of high standard. The schools main focus is the children and I appreciate that (you don't find this in some other districts).
