Exceptional public school with the welcome, warmth, and individualized attention of a private school experience. Teachers are fully engaged and excited about their students success!

Excellent staff and learning environment. Children are not just a number at this school.

In the four years we have been at Wolf Branch Elementary, the teachers have demonstrated superb attention to our children's education. There is fluent communication between teachers and parents, and concerns are addressed immediately as opposed to quarterly reviews, allowing for corrective action on education plans. We have 3 children, two of which were developmentally delayed, and all three are thriving at Wolf Branch. We could not be happier with our choice of schools for our children. The grading scale is 8-point, and access to Power School online allows parents constant access to monitor the progress of their child(ren).

My children have been in this district for over ten years and we are a small minority. We have never had a discrimination problem. The only time one of my children was bullied was by another African student. The teachers and administration have always been very welcoming to our cultural differences and encouraged open dialogue about culture in the classrooms. My husband and I absolutely love this district and chose it above all others to take care of our children. I know several others in the schools who are a minority and they confirm what I said "haven't had any problems". We need to question our children about their part in negative circumstances before we lash out at others.

There is a lot of favoritism at this school. If you have money, and a straight a student, you have no problem fitting in. If you have learning difficulties and are low income, no one bends over backwards to help. The principal is awful! This school is entirely overrated.

All WB parents are members of the WB PTC. Please get involved and attend the next General Membership meeting on November 13th. If you have a concern regarding the WB PTC, please contact the WB PTC President as I'm absolutely positive she would be happy to meet with you and discuss your concerns. Her contact information is available on the WB PTC Website. Thank you!!

I moved here for the music, which was cut, the class size, which is larger than most schools around now, and the small community, which means if you are more affluent, than you have an edge with the Board, Principals and Superintendent. If you are a minority, get ready to be demoralized, excluded and have to tackle every teacher and the elementary principal to get justice and equal treatment for your child. There needs to be an investigation by the St Clair Regional Office of Education as to why there are no minorities in the school as educators and why the kids with disabilities and minorities have to be challenged on every accord for the rightful education they deserve. Top it off with the PTC who are ready to run with your money and fund things the school will not buy and all parents do not have a right to decide how the money is spent. The teachers whose kids went there and they have been there for years have lost the focus of taking care of the kids and have the mindset of "I am entitled".

Three of my children attend Wolf Branch. I would say that the school emphasis on education. They are hardcore. They have no mercy if you are sick. They give you all the class work that your child miss along with all the homework when they were ill. Sometimes you will get 15 pages of Homework if your child was ill for one day. It can be frustrating. I gave this school 5 stars because the teachers are great. The children are competitive. It teaches your children to work hard and stay focus. There is no Private school that will do what this school does for your child. Education is the key to success and in this time in our society we need that push in education.

I love this school. Wolf Branch really emphasizes the academics. I feel my daughter is getting the best education possible. She loves going to school everyday. The teachers are great and very caring. I am so glad we chose this district. There is a lot of parent involvement, which also makes this district great.

All I can say is that if you have an above average child, you will love this school. However, if you have a child is avergae or below average and needs help, you will have many problems and a very hard time at this school.
