Quarton Elementary

We were thrilled when we were done with this school!

We have had children at this school for the last seven years, and each year has been nothing short of a wonderful experience. Every teacher our children have had goes above and beyond expectations to help their students learn and succeed. For a public school, our children's classes have been on the small side, allowing teachers to address the individual needs of each student. Our energetic principal is both approachable and well respected by parents and staff. There is a strong sense of community in this school, and character education where values such as kindness are instilled beginning in Kindergarten. We also love the strong parent community, and the additional support and resources that are provided to our staff and students through the Quarton PTA. The school building itself, the oldest part of which dates back to 1927, is charming and very well maintained having undergone frequent updates, the latest technology upgrades and recent renovations. I highly recommend Quarton Elementary!

Teachers and Staff are wonderful at Quarton. This school really has a small, neighborhood feel to it. The kids are kind and eager to learn. The parents are a great community of support for the school. The school prepared my daughter outstandingly for middle school. Highly, highly recommend this school!

Building is old and has had leaks and water damage. Bathrooms always smelled moldy. My kids were always sick there. My daughter (in the three years that she attended the school) had Pneumonia twice, pleurisy, chronic sinus infections and was diagnosed with exercise induced asthma. My son was similarly ill all of the time. At some point the community voted to save the school building which had aged beyond it's useful life. Although the school may be charming due to its architecture and age that should not override the health of the building; especially given the age of the kids attending. The teachers were unenthusiastic and lacked accountability. I had a teacher tell me she thought my daughter had ADHD which prompted our spending a large sum of money to have her tested. The results showed absolutely no signs of ADHD. She did test in the gifted range so it was more likely she was bored. It is very cliquey. Was run more by parents than the principal. No diversity in the student body or teaching staff.
