Seminole Elementary School

My children have been attending Seminole Elementary for 3 years. During this time we've had a change in the Principal and it's made all the difference in the moral of the school with the teachers and parents. The teacher's are loving and supportive. Children are able to participate in a special everyday whether it's music, art or PE and they also get 20 mins of teacher directed recess daily. It recently became a STEM school so the curriculum will be adapted to focus on those concepts but otherwise the school is structured like a traditional school of year's past. The school is small and the teachers and staff are loving, attentive and encouraging.

The principal is a wicked witch who rules w an iron fist.Teachers and parents need to stand up to her, but are too fearful.The front office is a problem as a result.Otherwise the school is fine.

We only have 1 year's experience with this school but in that year this is what I've learned. The teachers care. The school is focused on academic success and being a good person. My son learned concepts which I didn't learn until middle school.Communication at least with my teacher was lacking. I didn't feel that there was a lot of opportunity for me to be involved in his daily life at school. Although I became frustrated with my son's teacher, my son loved her and loved going to school. The lunch schedule makes no sense my kindergartener was eating lunch at 12:45. I've heard the school isn't a choice or hardship school for the 2017-2018 school year so I'm looking forward to seeing how the school changes. This year I know of several more friends who will be sending their children here and I'm very excited about that.

The teachers and support staff are great! Everyone is relaxed and comfortable which, in turn, affects the students, who seem to love it! My grandson attended a different school for kindergarten, and is now in 1st grade here. He loves his teacher and hes happy! Thank you for making his school experience a good one!
