Colonel Johnston Elementary School

This school is amazing! I have had two children enrolled here at two different times and can attest to the hard work these teachers and staff put into a well-rounded education!

My son did kindergarten and first grade at the school and he LOVED it. I truly feel like they set him up for success, he’s well above his grade level in reading and math now because of the tools he learned while attending this school. His teachers are amazing, great communication, and most importantly he feels safe and important at this school. Sad that the military had to uproot us, but I have nothing but great things to say about our experience with Col Johnston, Principal Barr and the entire staff at this school.

While I have had 4 children in this school at one point or another the only thing that I would say is above average about this school is their special needs preschool that they offer. Since my twins have began attending they have flourished into little boys that I never know. The teachers are fair and reasonable however they are not above average. I have one boy in the 2nd grade now and he could use some additional challenges but this school is not equipped with the tools to deal with advanced kids which is a bummer because he gets bored in class. The only thing really lacking is the new principal that they moved over from the middle school because he couldn't handle his job there.

This school is one of the the worst schools my son has attended. The staff feel that they are the final view on anything that happens and they know what is best, regardless of whatever anyone with other qualifications might say. (They'd rather my son miss class due to the nurse's opinion rather than his pediatrician.) The staff (My son is special needs.) are of low quality and seem to have very little training on how to properly handle difficult situations, how to effectively communicate, and how to write legibly. (The teacher's handwriting is nearly as bad as my 7 year old son's. My husband and I have to often try to decipher what she is attempting to tell us. She also seems to have difficulty writing in complete sentences and using proper tense.) We've had many troubles with this school and feel that this school has not made it a priority to hire educators who are capable of not only educating students on subjects but also on maintaining certain standards within their own behaviors. If we remain here or return here for any reason our son will not return to this school!
