We are leaving this school. We would love to continue this school if we do not moving out of state! We have had awesome happy experience in the school!

We were so excited to attend Earhart (and in fact chose to live where we live because of the school!), and were shocked and disappointed by our experience. I will say that if your child is a generally typical kid and "in the box" teaching methods work for them, they will probably thrive at this school. There are many good teachers, but all that we interacted with were very traditional. Test scores are seen as the most important thing while creativity and "meeting the child where they are" did not seem valued. If your child has a unique learning style, needs a teacher to think outside the box, or is more of an artistic spirit, this school may not be a good match. In addition to the teachers not having the skill or flexibility to work with kids that are "different," the current principal was incredibly unsupportive and dismissive. We ended up seeking a different school option and it has been a night and day difference (for the better!) to be at another school.

I attended Earhart and now my daughter is attending as a 1st grader. I had the option to choose between Bay Farm and Earhart and I definitely feel I made the right decision. The parents are supportive of one another's families, always looking out for each others kids and quick to lend a hand whenever needed. The level of teachers' dedication and ability to effectively teach the new common core curriculum has exceeded my expectations. so far I am very pleased!

I am a parent of a 5th grader at Amelia Earhart. My experience with the school has been very positive. Everyone from the office staff, to the teachers, to the principle care a lot about the kids and embrace them like family. The PTA is very involved and does a great job supporting the kids and the school. When I tell my parent friends who do not go to Earhart that I never had to rush to the stores at the beginning of the school year with a long list to buy school supplies, they are all amazed. The PTA makes sure all kids have the supplies they need on day 1. Amelia Earhart Elementary is a great school!
