Statham Elementary School

I did not have a good experience with this school. In my opinion and based on my experience, this school is not the place for special education kids especially those who are African American. My child's teacher and the special education chairperson who also holds the job as the speech pathologist was very dismissive of my concerns in my opinion. There was a terrible lack of communication. My child was at school "allegedly" acting out and being aggressive with other students yet no one bothered notifying me. This school lacks diversity in its staff which leaves minority student at a disadvantage. My child is non-verbal yet his teacher did not feel it was necessary to send a note home to tell me anything about his day or what he had done, however I know my child. I wish I had looked at this website before buying a home zoned for this school because the stats show that minority students and students with disabilities do not fare as well as the other students. In my opinion the staff lacks the training and knowledge to handle special needs children with problematic behaviors. Everyone's experience is not going to be the same. This was just my experience. My child will not be returning to this school even if it means me homeschooling. To the parents of minority students and students with disabilities, please make an informed decision. Everything will sound good in the IEP meeting but in my experience things changed once my child was in school.

SES is an awesome school and is filled with wonderful teachers, and staff. We moved into the district from Florida and could not be happier with our son's 1st grade teacher Mrs. Harrison. The entire staff at SES has made the transition easy and we feel very welcome.

Love, Love, Love this school! My daughter goes to this school and she absolutley loves it! Everyone from the front office staff to the lunch room to the teachers are wonderful! They have a great after school program and she loves to do all the activities they offer there. I would reccomend this school to anyone. :)

My son attended statham elementary school year 2013-2014. He enjoyed his teacher and assist teacher. As a parent, I think his kindergarden teacher did very well with giving me updates about my child. She also had a great learning program. My also enjoyed music and p.e.
