This school is supposed to be the best one in Belleville. The school is clean, it has a nice playground, and good principles and teachers. I would say where this school falls short is the student to teacher ratio. The classrooms are too large to allow them to be conducive to learning without distractions. The classrooms should be split into smaller groups. Where this school also lacks is proactive communication with parents. Parents are blindsided when their kids are not meeting grade level expectations. All of a sudden, you get letter they are being recommended to be retained in the same grade. The classes are so large that there is no individual attention. Second grade is where is all falls apart. Is it the teacher....is it the curriculum? You're guess is as good as mine. PowerSchool doesn't sync correctly so that the parents can monitor their child's progress proactively.

Because my grandchildren go to this school and they have some of the best teachers. However, they don't have all the materials that they need to really help the children exceed.
