Joe Henderson Elementary School

Wonderful teachers and Ms. Buck is fair and caring. The Parent Group pushes for more STEAM programs and the school feels inclusive to all.

This is a good school whose successes can be attributed to extremely involved, dedicated and hard-working parents. Many of the teachers are wonderful. The principal, Mrs. Garton, values safety and discipline. She is not warm and doesn't strive to connect interpersonally with students or parents (more Viola Swamp than Miss Nelson), but apparently gets the job done. Diversity could be a little better and I don't see a lot of embracing of special needs programs or curricula, but there is a strong academic focus and healthy community involvement.

6 yrs later my son is more than ready for middle school, solid both academically & socially! The smart & caring teacher are anchored by a strong principal who has an open door policy.

Simply wonderful school! The K program is great! All the teachers are caring and give extra help to those who need it. Really great parent and community participation and support. Well organized PTG and the principal cares more about safety and education than a super fun environment which in my opinion makes for a better education/school. Not to say it isn't still fun though! Lots of fun school wide events and programs! It's just a well rounded environment. We really like this school!
