I have nothing but great things to say about the current administrator, teachers and support staff at Schmitt. The front office staff is always so nice and helpful whenever I have questions about my child or an upcoming event at the school. The communication between parents and teachers is great any time I have a question I know I can send a message and the teacher will reply promptly and address any questions I may have without issue. Mrs. Rendon has been the principal at Schmitt for 3 years and she has already done so many great things at the school. She seems passionate about what she does and is always so welcoming and happy to answer any questions you may have. She is working very hard to build a strong bond with the parents and students and is stressing the importance of parent involvement in their children’s education and school. I am excited to see all the things she will accomplish in the coming years at Schmitt for the students and the school as a whole. I would definitely recommend Schmitt to any parent looking for a school in Westminster for their children.

My son has been attending Schmitt for 3 years now; we have a new principal which has made a huge impact on my sons experience and also my experience as a parent. She is very much involved and communicates very well with all of us which is just as important as anything else. Thank you Mrs Rendon and thank you to all the staff that makes this such an a great experience for everyone.

I have two boys attending Schmitt Elementary. Both of them love their teachers. They go above and beyond. Great after school programs. I’m truly grateful for all teachers, principal, and support staff.

The most effective/compassionate teaching I’ve dealt with.

A great school that truly puts students and student needs first. Teachers go the extra mile to reach out when they don't see a child in the class. Teachers and staff go above and beyond helping with community resources.

A fantastic place for kiddos. The teachers are dedicated and genuinely care about all their students. Programs are available to help kids at all the different levels and there are lots of interventions provided.

This school has the best teachers and classified staff! I am so honored to have worked for Schmitt for 14 years. I have worked as a health assistant in the Health Office attending to students with bumps and bruises to band aids and if they need a little TLC, I was there for them. The kids make it so special especially seeing them growing and moving onto middle and high school. We all do our best to help out parents with resources so they have the comfort that their child is getting the best education.

(2021 Review) Teachers are nice, involved and concerned with the well being of the students. Office and support staff have the students' safety in mind as well.

All teachers work well above and beyond their regular day. The spend a lot of extra time working with students and their families. Every team meets on a regular basis to ensure they are on the same page and to share strategies. It's wonderful to see so many teachers eager to work in their classrooms up a to a month before school starts; and this is on their own personal time. The PTA is one of the strongest and most compassionate teams I've ever worked with in the past 20 years.

A+! The office staff is also welcoming & very helpful!

Very very unorganized! The office manager in the front can be very rude! When I called the school to talk to the principle all she did was make excuses for the office manager! This and many factors are why I am moving my daughter out of this school! Zero stars

I love this school. I'm happy with the principal, the PTA and the cultural diversity, acceptance, parent participation and overall community(I like that they consistently include language translation). My child feels safe and secure.He has good friends and continues to learn new things each day. I really like the family activities (book fair, skating rink, open house, etc). Every time I speak with the principal he shows an invested interest in what is best for my kids and supports me in decisions I make for their individual education. The staff use a gold-slip reward system for discipline and I find works well for my child and most of the other kids I know. The facilities are a little dated but they take care with maintenance and painting. The parking lot is a little crazy but they have added a second helper this year which makes a big difference at drop off and pick up. Teachers are a little hit and miss. Some are amazing- love the kids and really care about their improvement. Unfortunately, though, some of the teachers are a little stubborn and care less about the kids getting individual attention (I think this is largely due to the class size being too big!- 25-30 kids).

Principal is great! Kinder teachers not!!! Please help in fixing that! Well not all but most are rude! For some of the parents, including myself, this is their first child in kinder! So we would appreciate it if you communicate more on what's going on! How to do certain things.. Why you do certain things that way we can be on top of what we need. Oh and just a suggestion... I feel like this world is always advancing and we live in a world of technology! Maybe the teachers should do weekly emails to the parents that way we get the announcements every week! Because some of us work and aren't always the person that picks up our child! Thank you for reading!
