Grant Elementary School

I had my kids at this school and it always felt like they were getting a less than good education. The classroom size is ridiculous, 35 students to 1 teacher ratio. Students get hardly any PE. Classes only get one field trip, if they're lucky. Their fundraising ideas are terrible. There is, unfortunately,no PTA to help with this area. The attendance policy is ridiculous. Students who are present all year long, but late one day, are not awarded anything at the end of the year. Only accelerated students get the schools best teachers, when it should be the other way around. Low achieving students should get these teachers. The principal acts like she should work on a cruise ship as the activities director. Sadly, there is very, very little parent involvement. Kudos those very few teachers who actually make a difference at that school because they actually love the work that they do. Most of them are just there for the paycheck and all the vacations they get throughout the year. Also, school needs to come off the year round calendar. It doesn't work!
