I went to this school from first grade to sixth grade. Overall it was pretty good, but as you get older the teachers start to care less. And they also called the cops on us.

Poor....but it's not all the teachers fault....this is a systemic problem in this country. Education is not a paramount priority.

Unchecked bullying, little focus on students, stealing.

We couldn't be happier with the level of care and education at this school. We had a bad experience at our last school and transferred here midyear. Christa McAuliffe is a wonderful elementary school.

Same school my 2 children went to except it's went from a 4 star to a 2 star school as far as I'm concerned. Nice principal. We learned thru my granddaughter that the teacher actually belittled a child in front of the class and my daughter had to go up and complain because she didn't want it happening to her child or any other. I guess teacher jobs are protected so nothing was done. They teach math to 4th graders using a video of some kind. They have a buddy room they put the disruptive kids in when their behavior is not being controlled by the usual methods and this obviously isn't working. Just tired of my intelligent granddaughter not getting the kind of education she deserves. I will be looking for a private school at some point in the near future. Sad. They could improve this school by getting rid of the 2 grouches and anyone else who doesn't greet the kids with some smiles. Not sure what can be done with the teachers since they have their own curriculum style they're teaching from and seem resistant to change when questioned. And kids should be held more accountable for classroom behavior with parental involvement. Private school is probably the answer for us.
