Green Elementary

I have a second and third grader at Green, and I love this school. The administrators are capable and kind. They really care about EVERY student, and strongly believe that all students deserve the same access to resources, counselor support and extracurricular activities. It's a Title 1 school with a lot of students from lower-income families. I appreciate the diversity in the school and the relationships the students build with people of different backgrounds and life experiences. The DAILY instruction in Spanish and Mandarin Chinese is excellent, and the specials are awesome. Mr. Woody, Mr. Neiger, Ms. Kelley, Ms. Davis and Ms. Tong are some of our favorite teachers/administrators. The Steven Covey leadership curriculum is excellent, and there is a huge focus on kindness. There are three counselors at the school to support the students, and guidance is one of the specials the kids participate in every week, in addition to music, art, media and PE. The building is beautiful and my kids love the playground. Green is a good example of why parents shouldn't judge a school on scores alone. Visit the school! There's a much richer story to tell than test grades.

My son loves it, and I'm pleased with the staff.

My child has been attending this school for 3 years and we have always felt welcomed by the staff at the office and the teachers, who are always open to listen and provide different channels of communication. My child is learning a lot through the leadership and languages program. She is getting the tools to be more open and proactive.

Green Elementary provides my son with an optimal learning environment. Students at Green learn how to be leaders, how to take responsibility for their own actions, and how to support each other. With daily foreign language instruction, students at Green will be better prepared to navigate our world. I wouldn't send my son to any other school.
