Fulton Elementary School

Great care to the kids! The staffs are nice and professional

The new principal is great and communication from teachers to parents has improved dramatically. We get at least one email every couple of days and depending on the activities and classes sometimes twice a day with all kinds of updates. Some of the older teachers may send out updates daily but they so keep us in the loop with the childs progress. I have 2 kids in this school and have nothing but great things to say about the school. The kids love their school as well.

I have had a great experience with Fulton Elementary School. I believe my children are receiving an excellent education. There is a great GT program in math. There are also great art, music, band, orchestra, and pe departments. I have found many teachers that truly care about the children. If my children struggled in an area they were encouraged and helped to push through and do their best.The PTA is very active in this school. There are a lot of great activities sponsored by the PTA - Fall Festival, International Night, many others.Lots of opportunities for parents to be involved. Room parents, special days like space day, field day, reading helpers, etc. The school is always looking for volunteers.

The administration is uninvolved and terrible at what they do. Communication between school and home is completely lacking. I can't tell you how many school events I found out about the day of or after they were already over. Simply put, terrible. I am finding that it is the administration's purpose to keep the parents out of the loop. The secretary is unfriendly and at times rude. There is no greeting when you enter the school. As far as parents volunteering in the classroom goes, it really depends upon what teacher you have. Some are willing to have you in the classroom helping, while others put you in a separate room or hallway. :o( Also, siblings are NOT welcome at any school function or event during the school day. Very unwelcoming to families!! Fulton does have some good teachers. I would NOT recommend this Howard County Elementary School to anyone.
