One of my children just graduated Schuylkill Elementary (SES) and another is going into 4th grade. From a parent and student perspective the school has been excellent. In our experience over the past five years the teachers are top notch in all aspects (care, support, preparation, readiness, and approachability). Teachers will completely "go the extra mile" to help their students succeed. The administration was/is supportive, easy to work with and reasonable. Great and broad music/choral program. SES represents a great learning environment for kids as students and individuals. We specifically chose SES over nearby, larger public schools as the smaller ecosystem provides our children (and us as parents) a more personal educational experience and sense of community. My kids really enjoyed/enjoy their time at SES - highly recommend the school.

My daughter is in her last year in Schuylkill and we are sad to leave. She has had an amazing experience in this school. The teachers are wonderful, caring and always helpful. I volunteer alot at school and I love everyone there. I'm amazed at how far advanced the students are in their learning versus other schools. Great school!

Excellent Academics, Strong sense of community, Zero tolerance for bullying and an abundance of clubs for the kids to be involved in! I have 2 kids here and 2 in the MS and couldn't be happier with our experience.

My children are in their second year here after being in a very expensive private school. They have flourished in this school. They entered in 1st and 2nd grade below grade level, and now in 2nd and 3rd grade are both at or above grade level. Their teachers have all been extremely accessible and genuinely care about their students. There has been no bullying issues as we saw daily at their previous school. I can not say enough about this school!

I have two children who attend the elementary school. As an educator myself, I can be extremely critical. However, I have truly been blown away by the care, dedication and love that the teachers and administrators display on a daily basis. My girls feel safe and loved every day at school. As for the curriculum, the administration is constantly making sure that they are aligned with PA standards and making sure they meet the needs of all their students. I am proud to send my girls to Schuylkill Elementary School.

Schuylkill is warm and inviting to children an parents alike. The teachers and parents have an amazing relationship. They work together for the common good of the students. The students learn more than just the curriculum, they learn how to be better people, how to respect each other and how to help each other. The Princial know each and every student, by name.
