This is our 4th year with a student at Boger Elementary. We have always had the best interactions with teachers and staff that truly care and make learning fun. There are so many opportunities at this school including music, art, robotics, and more. We are extremely pleased with our daughter's progress as she is testing at the 99th percentile on national tests.

We’ve had nothing but an amazing experience so far. Our child enjoys and seems to be flourishing.

I have 2 extremely ADHD children and Boger has been AMAZING with accomodations for them. They have gone above and beyond to ensure they get the most out of their education.

Excellent school with great teachers that go the extra mile. Good facilities and my child enjoyed their time here at Boger. Go beacons!

We were going to go the private school route until our neighbors told us how great the school was. We've been very pleased with everything so far.

When my family and I decided in moving in, the schools were one of our priorities. When we visited the school we felt confident to move!

The principle, Rick Seaford, is a dangerous, bully. My child was put on the wrong bus home in kindergarten and it was a very scary experience for us and our child. My husband was livid and wanted to read them the riot act and report it to the district but I talked him down because our child's homeroom teacher seemed genuinely sorry (especially since our child told her that it was the wrong bus and was made to get anyway), I didn't want to have issues with the school and I felt like it could be handled with just the principle.What a mistake. Caught him in the office alone 2 days later and began to ask about protocol and preventing this from happening in the future and and walked right up to me, towered over me (I'm only 5'2") and through clenched teeth he told me that it was not my business. What?!! He always seemed so nice before but I was taken aback by this and felt intimidated. We pulled our child from the school 3 months later and I now feel that reporting incident would get me no where... he didn't seem worried! Is this systematic? But I feel other parents deserve to know. Keep an eye on him!

My son has attended Boger for 5 years. Overall experience has been excellent. They provide a good support system and its a nice facility. My son has had some amazing teachers who seem to really enjoy teaching which makes all the difference. I would definitely recommend it as a great school to send your kids to.

Best I've had. My son is autistic and in a self contained class here, after removing him from weddington hills elementary after he ingested a toxic plant in the office while being walked to the office one on one. 5 different sub teachers in 1 month, negligence and not following proper protocols we switched him to Boger and have fallen in love with everything about this school. The teachers,and office staff, they love kids and their jobs and it shows

My daughter attended Boger in K, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grades. I am quite sad to say that we are moving out of the district (work-related relocation) because I really wanted my daughter to finish out her time here. I'm not certain what the other respondents were referring to in their comments about lack of communication. The school does a great job of 1) sending notices home in our child's folder, 2) the amazing PTA emails us once a week, 3) we get periodic phone notices each month, and 4) my child's teachers have returned each of my emails within 24 hours. Overall, my wife and I are thrilled with Boger. Our daughter has thrived here both intellectually and socially. We really wish we didn't have to move. Best of luck to you all.

We have been to 2 elementary schools in this district. I was hoping Boger would be better, but no. This school is terrible. TERRIBLE!!!! I have a little boy who is a bundle of energy and he is treated so horribly. Teacher frustrated with him. They want children to just sit quietly all day. They are KIDS!!!! My child is not happy and hates going to school. They won't listen to any suggestions I have. It's just been an awful situation. I wish I could give 0 stars. Now we are looking into schools in Mooresville because Cabarrus is not good. Not good at all. Consider moving out of this district.

We hope, for several reasons, this will be our one and only year at this school. My child's teacher is very unorganized and communication with multiple levels of staff have varied from uncaring to rude.
Submitted by parent on January 10, 2014

I am very disappointed with this school. Worst communication ever. Anytime I have questions or concerns, they are not addressed or taken seriously. I wanted my child at an elementary school where the staff was friendly and welcoming. I wanted my child to feel safe and feel comfortable there. My child hates school and dreads going. It breaks my heart. We are looking into a new school for next year. Time for this school to do some serious damage control because it has an awful reputation now. No way would I recommend anyone send their child here.

CONTINUED... We never even got a phone call! My daughter came home completely emotional and frightened. The principal was aware of the documented assaults, conferences, and proposed "solutions" and refused to remove my child from this class! After filling a SECOND formal complain on bullying, we were told we would hurt the school's "blemish free" record and politely asked to refrain from unnecessarily involving the district. Again. We have pulled them from this school and REFUSE to go back. My kids will attend a school next year where the academic scores might me slight lower, but where they don't fear for their lives! I've been as positive towards this school as I can force myself to be. If I listed all the details, you would be COMPLETELY HORRIFIED of this school! I have NO problem giving Charles E. Boger Elementary school a 1 star rating. And that's ONLY sure to the fact my other children finished this school alive!

My child is in the 2nd grade at this school. I am very disappointed with the communication or lack thereof. We have older children that and have had many teachers over the years. Our 2nd grade teacher is the worst I have ever had. She is overwhelmed and borderline being abusive of the children. We are moving just to get out of this school district.

My child has been at Boger since Kindergarten. During the first two years, my sense of the school was that while it had an enthusiastic parent organization and caring teachers, its academic program was mediocre and lackluster. For instance, I had the impression that the only math my child got exposed to during those first years was number facts. I also struggled with what I thought were teachers overly strict interpretation of FERPA laws which made it impossible for children and families to get to know each other and build a learning community. This year, we have a teacher who has not only gone the extra mile to create a strong partnership with families, but her academic curriculum is also rich and integrated. (To be fair, this great experience also coincides with the school's active implementation of Common Core Standards, which in and of themselves focus on integration of skills.) My child also feels valued, challenged, and loves science and math in ways she never did before. In fact, if all I had to go on was this year, I would give Boger a five-star rating. In other words, the quality of your child's education here will depend on the teacher. Everything else is great.

Our 3rd year at Boger. I have a child finishing grade 2 and one finishing Kindergarten. Only really have positive things to say about our experience. The school as a whole has provided an excellent education for my children. They enjoy school and share with me daily all that they have learned each day. I feel they are challenged and given individual attention as needed. I am a working mom so do not visit the school much, but feel welcome when I do visit. The teachers ALL have responded to my notes, emails, and phone calls promptly and clearly. In another 2 years, I will have a 3rd child at this school and look forward to that time without reservations. My experience with each individual teacher has been different, but the quality of education and their safety overall has remained top notch, which is what is important to me for my children.
