Shepardson Elementary School

I have one child going to this school and can not say enough great things about them, I am a single father and have been very lucky to have been a part of the Shepardson family. My child's growth has been amazing, in no small part due to the teacher's truly caring about each and every child. All the teachers and after school care people I have worked with have been GREAT! five star plus in my book!

The principal and/or vice principal are always in attendance at PTO meetings, making real effort to listen to parents. The teachers are communicative, hands-on and approachable. There are many opportunities to be part of our child's educational experience in the classroom.

Generally speaking as a parent, this school just gets a child by. Ever since Mary Kay Somers left a few years ago, it has gone downhill. Also, it appears as though this schools principal is pro "Common Core" which is a negative in my eyes. I'm not sure why they put such an emphasis on STEM, as it really doesn't seem to be reflected in their curriculum. If you are unaware of Common Core and what it will mean for your child, please do your due diligence and do some research.

We LOVE Shepardson. The Principal, Mary Kay Sommers is amazing! We transferred from an awful Core Knowledge school and couldn't be happier with Shepardson. Great CERTIFIED teachers and staff!!
