Greenman Elementary School

Greenman is the most awesome school I know so far. They have great activitys for children. Like basketball volleyball and much more. I had seen Greenman with my own eyes and if any body seen it they will see it the best school. So to finish my review I got to say one more thing keep up the good work. Thank you for all your hard working.

The problem with the test scores is that there is a significant language barrier here. 90% of the student body is Hispanic, the children come from homes where English is not practiced or enforced, which in turn creates a huge hurdle for the kids, this to me is very sad - those parents do not realize how they're impacting their children. This in turn is a trickle down effect, unfortunately because teachers are pulled in so many directions as it is, it is only natural to spend more time with students who are struggling, however, focus is then lost on other students. My child has "enough" skills to be skipped over, because teachers are too busy trying to bring the rest of the children up to speed, when my child transferred to another school where language barriers were less of a problem I was told my child was seriously behind and would need to be held back an entire grade - my child is still struggling this year. Our lawmakers need to stand up and figure out immigration, we need more teachers if they are seriously wanting to keep families like this in our schools that are tax payer funded. It makes me very sad that the school failed my child.
