Gerald R. Ford Elementary School

Poor. This is probably because the teacher my child has is a very poor communicator and is extremely harsh and unfriendly.

All the messages I get from that school are about fundraising! The principal records the messages and he sounds like radio commercial! The bus is NEVER on time. It can be up to 40 mins late or earlier that the scheduled drop off time. Bullying is a major issue. We spent half of first grade at a different school before we moved and got into that school. The first school was rated 7 and Ford school is 8. However my daughter showed more progress at the other school, she wanted to go to school even on weekends. But since we started Gerald Ford, she had completely changed, she hates school, she doesn’t want to go at all. It became a nightmare to make her to go to school.The only good thing we’ve seen there was Ms Orion, first grade teacher. She really cares about her students and tries to help as much as she can.Administration office is clueless, just like the principal. They have only one goal which is fundraising. When I spoke to the principal about bullying going on in his school, he COMPLETELY DISMISSED the subject.

We couldn't be happier with Gerald Ford. Fantastic Principal, Teachers and staff.

Staff are incompetent & not carrying out their position's requirements & responsibilities! They discriminating, neglectful,& fail to make incident reports! Staff believe it's ok for a 12yr old to severely bite a a 5yr old without being being provoked!!! The staff from principle to teachers aide are all Horrible!
