William B. Wade Elementary School

Great teachers they care about the students

The experience has been horrible and if this is a sign of anything to come we dread future Charles County Schools.

When we first arrived to the area in 2004 the school was rate a 9 then over the course of 10 years it dropped to a 6 or 5. Most of the teachers are good, but a few concentrate too much on being a psychologist. They believe kids in 1st and 2nd grade should be still all the time or be evaluated. The only other issues we and other parents have is with their policy, which has the teachers speak to parents about their child's behavior or other concerns as the child is being released from school at the end of the day. This is not the proper atmosphere to address it, because other parents can hear. I think teachers enjoy seeing this hoping the parent would be embarrassed. Teachers should e-mail parents regarding any concerns or events that takes place or save it for a conference. We're glad we're no longer there. Our new school does nothing of the sort. All concerns are resolved and are confidential. I hope Wade has or will soon eliminate the practice of speaking with parents during child pick up. Totally uncalled for.

My child and family love William B. Wade Elementary. The moment you walk in the door you are greeted by the most caring and attentive office staff. You can tell how much they care for the safety of our children every time you visit. Principal Nye has made some changes that greatly enhance safety at the school. My daughter often states how much she likes Ms. nye and points out how involved she is in the classroom and how she compliments children when they are making good choices. The staff at Wade are top notch!
