John L Sipley Elementary School

The teachers and staff at Sipley are top notch! They genuinely care for each of the students and work with them as individuals to ensure the best learning for everyone. They also work very deliberately on social development, creative learning opportunities, and family/community involvement. The quality of this school is not reflected in state test scores but on the faces of the children who enjoy learning and are enthused about going to school.

Great school and great teachers. I feel that my child is very safe. Lots of teachers always involved and watching out, especially during child drop off and pick up.

Our kids just started at Sipley fall 2011. The facilities seem up to date and faculty seems to have the credentials to make it a great school. However we have had better first impressions. 1.) We were not notified which Kindergarten class (AM or PM )they would be in until the day before they started. 2.) Registration was understaffed and took two hours after going through pre-registration 3.) The first days of class there were scheduling and busing issues. 4.) Faculty is in a rush to answer your questions and get you out the door. I truly hope things improve or it looks like we are pulling the kids and sending them to Montessori school or moving away from Woodridge.

great personnel and attitude
