Really good. Students are nice. Teachers are nice. Says my 8-year-old going into grade 3. My 10-year-old said it’s amazing and try to get into Mr Longo’s 5th grade class if you can.

We are new to the district and school and are extremely impressed with the staff and how much our son is learning. The school is doing a wonderful job handling the pandemic as well.

There is much more to be desired in an elementary school. There are some really great teachers however the leadership/Youth and Family Service Dept ruins the experience for me.

The teachers , just like most schools currently... need better support and ratio of kids to teacher.... It seems in keeping with common core standards they ignore the actual fact that the students have to absorb and learn the material for the teacher to be effective.... instead they will roll over any kid who may not understand a concept and provide little to no support or help

Awesome school, I can't say enough about the teachers here. They are wonderful especially in grade 2 and under, nurturing and I always felt my child was safe at this school. Educationally supportive also!

Helen b duffield is a great school. Right from the Principal to teachers to nurse to staff all are really helpful. Academically too it is the best among the others in the entire district. Teachers always listen to students n parents input n strive to do their best to improve and work with kids. I strongly recommend this school for any concerned parents who want a piece of mind with respect to child's safety and academics n extra curricular activities, sports, arts etc.

I absolutely love this school because there are friendly teachers and students who are always there for me. Even if a student is not my friend, he/she is always there, proving that the school has instilled good virtues in the students. So I believe that this school is a great school with excellent teacher and parent coordination for making a bright future for each and every student. I hope more students get enrolled in Helen B. Duffield Elementary School.
