The staff was always helpful. It seemed like my son was getting a good education.

Whitnel has welcomed students (new or previous) with open arms. My child switched schools, it didn't work out and so we switched back to Whitnel, and Prinicipal Smith was absolutely wonderful. He was accommodating, patient, understanding, kind and helpful. He even matched my child up with the perfect teacher for them. They may not academically be where they should be nationally, but they're trying.

I would like to say that Whitnel Is an GREAT SCHOOL! I attended school there when I was younger and the school was a year a round school. The teachers,staff,faculty,principle EVERYONE IS GREAT! Mrs.Swanson was wonderful as well as Mr.Berry. If you are looking for a great school for your child to learn, grow and meet wonderful people Whitnel is the place! Thanks A LOT WHITNEL!!!!!

I "was" a parent of children at Whitnel Elementary. I would not recommend that ANY child attend this school until their leadership is changed. The principal most certainly favors certain children and/or parents over others. Also nepotism is rampant here. When one of the Special Ed children was pinched by one of the assistants, instead of the teacher being fired as was appropriate, the assistants were only moved to other classes. There are wonderful teachers here, but with the unstable leadership and substandard test and school scores . It is definitely not a great school.
