All three of my kids are attending now and love it. I appreciate all the extra effort put forth by the teachers and staff. Excellent school. My kids have learned so much and have all the support they need. The extra activities are educational and fun.

Absolutely love this school. Both my children went here all the way through elementary school. It had a great staff and the most parent involvement of any school in the area! What a great elementary school experience we had!

My son and eldest daughter went here. Now my youngest daughter is here and the quality of the school has gone downhill. There is NO discipline in this school. The kids are allowed to run roughshod over the administrators and teachers. The lunchroom is chaotic and loud. I stopped having lunch with my daughter because you can't even talk to your kid because the screaming and yelling, all with the Principal in there. I can't wait till my daughter goes to middle school and I don't have to come here anymore. The sugary sweetness of the admins betrays the morale of this school. The staff is miserable here, as are the kids it seems. It isn't a very helpful learning environment when there is no consequences to actions. When my older kids went here there were more strict Principals that would not allow the shenanigans that go on now. Punishment was expected for bad behavior. There are no longer silent lunch tables in the lunch room for the more obnoxious rule violators. Heavens! We may hurt someone's feelings by showing good order and discipline. I bet the test scores go down at this school. The learning environment is too distracting, and miserable teachers equals a school in decline

I have had children in Quail Run Elementary for six years. I have been VERY pleased with our experience here. Infact, it was one of the top reasons we bought our home in this area. The leadership honestly cares about the students. The staff welcomes parents warmly, and parent support is massive. I would like to comment to one of the negative reviews. My son has had a terrific experience in Mrs. Donna Smith's third grade classroom. I am sorry that another parent/child felt otherwise. I had read this review and was nervous to hear my son had been assigned to her classroom. But my fears quickly changed to a grateful excitement that he was in her care. The night before "greet the teachers" she personally called our home to welcome us and introduce herself - never had that happen before! She has required consistent nightly reading and homework. And my son has risen to her terrific expectations. She explains in writing why the student missed any points on assignments and models the right way, to help the student learn. I have rarely seen such a devoted teacher. No school is perfect, but we have been very happy to send our children here! :)
