I have been sadly disappointed by Sinking Springs EL! Our son's GIEP and 504/Plan are not being followed. (This is a legal issue, if I wanted it to be!). He is able to do high level multiplication, yet at school, they are teaching addition and subtraction, in 4th grade!!! The use of technology is actually a detriment to their education, as students are doing whatever they want on their iPads during class, whether they are to be on them or not! Classrooms and hallways are loud and chaotic and I have seen teachers not aware the of where their students are!! Huge school safety issue! I am glad that we are about to move out of the school!

We were so disappointed in Sinking Springs. After an amazing K-3 experience at Roundtown, we found both the teachers and administrators at Sinking Springs sorely lacking. The school does little to nothing to address social (bullying) or educational concerns. Our child has always enjoyed school and is now begging to be homeschooled. We would not recommend this school to anyone.
