Wonderful school! Nice building, thoughtful caring staff. My daughter is in kindergarten at Washington and we've been very pleased. She loves it so much and is learning leaps and bounds. Her teacher is so incredibly caring, in fact, everyone has been so friendly. The principal knows our names and takes our concerns seriously. When our daughter was bullied by a boy in her class they put a stop to it quickly and effectively. They 100% wanted to make sure our daughter and the person bullying her had the support they needed, without going over the top. Everything is very organized and well thought out. They have great out of school activities to help us engage with other families. The school has a very good mix of cultures represented, which our family appreciates. We're excited for her to grow at Washington!

Not very good. The principal last year had lied and it was in writing. The principal this year had set up guidelines and rules regarding communication, but her staff did not comply. They do not listen and they have not looked out for the best interest of students. They are more worried about pushing documents on students and passing them with a safety net than actually teaching the students and holding them accountable for not passing or doing what needs to be completed.

Only a few of the teachers are good and they do not challenge the students. The principal lacks leadership. She is out of touch with parents, and does not have good communication skills. We changed schools so our children would have a better education.

My daughter transferred from Brookside in Worthington after an uneventful Kindergarten year. She had some "behavior bumps" and instead of labeling her as a bad apple her teacher and priincipal created a postive reinforcement plan that encouraged her to respect others' feelings and follow rules. Her reading has exploded and she gets extra attention in math. We love the staff for going the extra mile.
