The teachers at this school go above and beyond for the kids that come into this building. This school has a high amount of emotional trauma that the students bring in with their backgrounds and the teachers make amazing growth with all of them.

Terrible. I am switching her due to bullying and they straight up lied to the new principal saying they have no knowledge of the bullying. I talked to the classroom teacher, the assistant principal, another teacher, and the secretary. What a shame that they can't even own up to their mistakes. The secretary by the way are really nice women, I have nothing against them. The assistant principal however, should be ashamed of himself.

Not applicable for my child so I cannot say whether or not the school is effective in this area.

I have talked to the assistant principal, the teacher, and another adult that works there and the bullying has not stopped.

The only homework my child gets is reading.

Bullying is a problem at this school and issues are not being resolved.

See previous question. Leadership isnt effective if the kids see bullying as tolerated.

This is a great school that has received various awards for its many achievements. My niece & nephew have attended this school for serval years. The staff always exceed expectations. I know for a fact some have gone out of their way & given of their time & finances to help out students in need. The special education program awesome. They make sure to communicate the child's achievements as well as areas that need improvement. The school is very strict about fighting & bullying which will result in suspension. When Ms Walker the principal passed away they were very supportive & had counselors on site to make sure the kids were OK. No school is perfect but I definitely recommend Washington Elementary.
