It is a good school but so many things have been changed and we don't feel like it is the same school any more. No more enrichment classes for the gifted children under 3rd grade. After redistricting and changes in so many ways, it's a totally new school. Still there are some excellent teachers and staff in the school, but there is lacking in communication between the principal and the parents.

We have had one child who went threw all the grades in this school and now have two more in the school and couldn't be happier. The school is incredible. The staff, the principal and most of all the teachers are the best you could ask for. I love this school and every thing it stands for.

My son goes to this school. The teachers, staff, and especially principal are fantastic. I could not have asked for a better school!

I can't imagine a better school for my daughter. In her 3 years at Buttonball, she has had teachers that challenge her academically and encourage her personal development. It has caused me to realize that there is so much more to teaching young children than simply teaching academic fundamentals. The "Specials" - Gym, Music, Art, Spanish, etc. - teachers are wonderful and their roles are more than peripheral. Even the school nurse (Diane) is great! Specifically, her 2nd grade teacher (Mrs. Kuhn) was excellent at identifying my daughter's academic and social strengths and weaknesses and pairing her appropriately with other children in the class to maximize her personal potential. I am certain she does this with all of her students. The classroom dynamic was awesome! With a new academic year upon us and a relatively new to the role of principal (in this school) at the helm, I am looking forward to seeing how Buttonball will impact my daughter this year.

All the teachers that my son had for the three and a half years that he w as in this school were terrific. They made the students work on very creative projects, encouraged 'all round development'
