As a partner I have had a great experience working with teachers staff and parents. The events are very effective and fun and festive! The students are very respectful and spirited. They operate under what we call the "Sankofa way."

I am extremely happy with the care and attention my child gets at Sankofa.

This school has some great aspects including a wonderful music program where each student learns to play an instrument and a committed group of parents and supporters.

I'm switching my son to a different school next year I was originally aperhensive about sending him to Sankofa because of the negative things I heard about the school and the teacher my son would have.but I sent him there because that was the school he was assigned to and it is the closest elementary school to my house.my son was reduced to tears some days and did everything in his power some times not to go to.school he was being bullied by kids I'm not quite sure how old seeing as the school goes all the way to 8 grade Wich was another problem for me how they didn't separate the age groups enough for me,his teacher I felt is not compassionate enough to be working with TK kids who at the end of the day can't even do thing like button up their pants or tie theirs shoes....with a whole list of others problems I had I feel like Sankofa is a joke of a elementary school
