Colchester Elementary School

CES has been extremely welcoming and friendly as well as providing state of the art resources and curriculum matched with passionate and compassionate teachers who are just ace! We have had a very good experience here and feel safe with the drop off and pick up systems for safety and care. There are no loopholes here at CES where intruders or unsafe conditions can become a reality. Very well run school! Keep up the great teamwork to build great little Americans CES!

CES is a great school. Both of my children attended, one still does. The teachers were very supportive and caring, aside from a couple of kindergarten teachers, but they retired. The long term and beloved principal retired two years ago, her replacement lasted one year and was not well liked, the current principal is the former vice-principal, yay! From Pre-K through 2nd (aside from K and the one year principal) we had nothing but great experiences from the teachers and staff. The school is nice, new, clean and well cared for. I feel that it's pretty safe with all of the restricted access and alarms. I get the sense from the teachers that they care for the children, class size is around 20 or so. We didn't do the 1/2 crew thing, but if you didn't want it, request to be moved out of it. The teachers I have found have been able to handle children of all different backgrounds and needs. Very pleased with CES and JJIS, am nervous about WJJMS and BA. The school seems to be very organized and efficient, the office staff polite and courteous. They take the responsibility of caring for your child seriously. Keep up the good work CES, too bad we'll be all done after this year.

I love how positive and caring all the teachers and administrators are. I feel like my son is getting an A+ education. I appreciate the communication and feel that I am not excluded in his education.

Absolutely the best school around!!! My oldest son participated in the 1-2 combo class and I have to say it was very helpful to have the same teachers for two years in a row. It gave him a sense of belonging and he learned to mentor the younger students when he was in the 2nd grade. My younger son who is currently in the 2nd grade and a special needs child has ALWAYS received the care and guidance needed to make his time at CES rewarding. I have had excellent communication with administration and teachers for the past 5 years. Any concerns I ever had were always taken into consideration.
