Wendell Watson Elementary School

I absolutely love the staff, teachers, and volunteers. The teachers are exceptionally caring and kind. The staff is friendly and helpful. My children love going to Wendell Watson. I have two kids who love going to school. They are genuinely excited to go to class.

The kids are proud of where they go to school, because they are heard and for the fun loving learning environment. Teachers seem to be overworked. Office staff is amazingly helpful, side from one lady that isn't very friendly.

Teachers are in school to teach. They are not babysitters for children who do not behave or defy authority. I find it amusing that there are some parents that blame the teacher for the child's failure in school. They have raised that child for the first 4-5 years of life and now they want to blame the child's inability to function on someone else. Parents take ownership of your child's life. Home is where a child learns to listen and learn first. Do what is right for your child. Take their well being into your own hands and help them to succeed! Don't blame others.

I am very disappointed with Wendell Watson. My oldest was there 1 year, my daughter 2 years and my other son since kindergarten in 3rd now...and out of all the teachers there was ONE teachers that was about teaching the kids! They push very hard to teach the kids but don't want to take the time to make sure they understand. Last week they introduced multiplication they are barely on the 3's and today my son had work with algebra!?! That's great if they understand it but make sure they are learning. Wendell Watson is way to worried about maintaining their "A" rating to care about anything else. Mr. Sims was my son's second grade teacher he is an amazing teacher who understands how to keep kids focused. My son was excited to learn last year now he is to sit and memorize things. I am thinking about homeschooling now.
