This school was awful. I received very little communication about my children's progress in class. There appeared to be a lot of behavior issues-my kids would come home and tell me stories about children who were causing problems in the building. We were there for a year and I pulled them out. I would not recommend this school.

My boys went to Graham two years ago. They were there for 3 years. My oldest has ADHD they did absolutely nothing with that. My youngest had wonder teachers. The teachers do the best with what they are given and alot of times go beyond. But he was in the second grade doing coloring sheets? Upon my oldest graduating were told the middle schoolers were stealing cars and that it was good we were moving to Chippewa valley(BIG difference)?! Constant reports of people trying to talk to children and old men flashing children. We were told we had to prove proof of residency because "Grandma doesn't stay at our house anymore. If you don't prove residency your kids will no longer be able to catch the bus and you will be forced to pay for sacc." We were in a condo in our name and had been for 4 years! We had slight issues until the new bus driver right before we left. I assume reported us for picking our kids up at the end of the drive way and going to get food/go to the gym and assuming we didn't live at our condo. The parking lot is horrible good luck getting in or out if your in a hurry. I wouldn't recommend this school.. ever.

This school is one of the most horrendous I have ever encountered in my career. The principal is a tyrannical leader who bullies her teachers. She provides no support and allows them to be abused by difficult students with no repercussions. The turnover rate of teachers at this school tells you all you need to know. Stay far away if you want a decent education for your child or a pleasant teaching experience.

Very bad experience. Teachers do not know how to accommodate students with learning disability’s.

My two daughters were new to the school at the beginning of the year. For some reason they push off bullying like it's nothing. I am not a menacing parent and had mentioned my concern in October which I thought was resolved. Basically the only thing resolved was my child coming to me and voicing her problems. She has shut down, I've put her in therapy, on different medications yet she's still hating life, hates school, withdrawn, unmotivated. Come to find out her bully has started including many other classmates. Since I first voiced concern this has not been brought to my attention once from her teacher or principal. They've never offered for her to see the counselor, this bit is still in her class. They should NOT be teachers/principals if their idea is minimizing my innocent daughters issues. My 8 year old should NEVER feel worthless, ugly, weird, or most importantly SUICIDAL. Worst school ever, I've never had a problem like this anywhere. These kids parents need parenting classes and the faculty need new staff. I would have taken her out now but I have a child advocate now who is showing us the right steps in standing up to this.

My son was bullied the entire school year he was here for kindergarten last year... From kids in the classroom to the kids on the bus and nobody did anything to help with the situation...not the teacher, principal, nobody!!! This year I transferred him to Tenniswood and it has been great so far! I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS SCHOOL!!!

My children transferred to Graham 2 years back and the school was very welcoming. I believe that Graham has the children's best interest in mind and try to do the best they can. Although I am not happy with my children's school I do not feel it is the administration or the teachers. I am questioning if it is the parents and the students. I believe that the staff has to many disipline issues to deal with and obnoxious parents! If we lived in a nicer neighborhood or could afford private schools then that would be my choice. But as far as public schools go Graham Elementary is a fine school and the staff is great :-)

My daughter transfered here from Tenniswood Elementary because they did not have available seats and we love it. This is a great school with friendly teachers and a great principal. This summer they are going to renovate the school and I think it will be excellent. My child brings home everyday a book to read and there is a lot of parent involvement on different events. Mrs. Weiss is wonderful teacher, too. My child will attend second grade on this school and not on her home school. Thank you all teachers of Marie C Graham Elementary school doing a good job with kids.

Teachers are wonderful, most go out of their way to give the students a well round education. The parent club is outstanding.

The individual care that is shown by the teachers is second to none!! The Parent Teacher Club is always looking for different ways to improve the student experience at Graham.
