Houghton Elementary School

Terrible. My child is still upset at the thought she may have to one day return.

My son is so happy here... he has had some great teachers and they have been great in communicating with us... my family is looking forward to the next school year at Houghton

I have two students at this school, first and fourth grade. My children are so far behind their cousins in a different school district, its embarrassing. My 6 year old daughter has been harassed by a boy for the entire year, he has shown her near pornographic material, told her to go in the bathroom with him (she declined) he has hit her, ripped her clothing and more. They have both been called terrible names by other students, and my son was shown a video in spanish that the teacher did not pre watch and showed some brief partial nudity. That was the only incident that was even close to apologized for. Every other teacher has a "figure it out yourself" mentality regarding the students. The principal does absolutely nothing. Its despicable. If you know whats good for your children and appreciate what innocence they might have, then avoid this school, and the entire district of Waterford. We are selling our house and heading to another school zone.

My daughter will be going in second grade in the fall. I have absolutely loved the the teachers she has had! They are a leadership school as well. Principal is fantastic. Everytime I am in the school I see her interacting in the classrooms with the kids. The staff is really passionate about teaching. I was worried at first going to waterford because of what others have said. But when I move I will make sure we are still within the district!
