my child attended pre-K through 4th grade here. Unfortunately, the last two years have been an awful and traumatic experience for my child. The new principal Donna Hanley is very adamant about attendance and not the child’s well-being overall. They were not able to give my child the help that we needed, my child would have anxiety before going to school, they were not very helpful or understanding with the things that my family was going through at the time. It seemed as if there are no special education services or any services available for the children unless you have an IEP. Unfortunately, it is a struggle to have an IEP made even with a Request from a neuropsychologist. . However .. The teachers and most of the staff are excellent. The administration is just slacking big-time.

My child is always happy going to and from school. All of the teachers there are wonderful and supportive. Any issues were recognized and noticed early to provide academic intervention.

I have always been very happy with the teachers here. When my daughter needed extra help with learning sight words, her teacher told me about a game I could play with my child to help her. My daughter was reading at a 5th grade level while still in 2nd grade! I have two children who attend this school. The parents are good working class people. The principal gets the job done. My only wish is that they had Father/Daughter or Mother/Son dances. I hate to have my kids miss out on that! They do have a Family dance instead.

My daughter went here K-2 and I was very pleased with the quality of teachers. My middle daughter is in the special ed Pre K and I am also very pleased with the quality and care of Ms Julie and the teachers assistants, they truly provide a friendly learning environment for young learners. However, the overall quality of the towns administration is very poor. This is why I could not give 5 stars. There is no PT in the town (only an assistant) and there is only one person for the entire town! The OT and Speech therapists are great, however no one this far has been able to draw up a proper IEP in the 2 years that I have been dealing with this town. The teachers and therapists need to be properly trained in writing these so that the special ed kids do not slip through the cracks! This town clearly doesn't want to put $ into special ed.

I am very pleased with the positive learning environment Centredale Elementary provides my child. I have seen her grow leaps and bounds in her reading since her transfer from another school. They are community minded and provide many opportunities for children to help out those in need. Communication is one area of opportunity for the school.
