My God, this school is the absolute worst. I wish my children could go to another school. These teachers don't even know enough to teach a fly. They act as though they care about the children, then the next minute, they throw them to the wolves. I wouldn't send my dog there.

My 2 children have attended Redan and the teachers have always done their best to reach my child in an engaging manner that coincides with the state curriculum!

Overall this is a good school! My now 8 year old daughter attended the 2nd grade last year at this school and her teachers were great! She also was in the afterschool program and she loved it!

This school test score rating is a 1 out of ten. It should be shut down.

I wonder how many of those complaining have taken the time to reach out to volunteer, or to ask the teacher if they need anything for the classroom. Probably very few.

I believe this school should close or be replaced with new leadership. The principal has a hard time believing in people instead of looking at the facts.

I'm sure that there are some positive attributes to this school, but the negatives with my experience out weigh the positives. The teachers lack patience and empathy for the students. They discipline by yelling and ridiculing. I felt like my son's teacher was annoyed by my involvement. Information to parents is not in a timely manner. It's as if dysfunction and disorganization is the standard for this school. Dropping off my son was disorderly. Some days someone was outside to monitor drop-off and some days there wasn't. Most often, I escorted him in the building. Teachers are highly unprofessional. Overall, I'm appalled by my experience with Redan Elemenatary.
