Pocopson El School

Schools dog get better than Pocopson! We are so happy here!

Pocopson Elementary has it all. The focus is not simply on test scores, but on the child as a whole. The teachers are incredibly caring and are willing to work around children's activities when it comes to homework assignments while maintaining high expectations for academic achievement. Teachers address social issues as swiftly as academic ones and communicate with parents readily and openly. The front office staff knows each parent by name and which child he or she belongs to! My daughter has flourished at the school and LOVES it. I have high expectations when it comes to academic and social achievement and they have been fulfilled. Students excel academically while having fun and developing a love of learning.

Pocopson is a wonderful vibrant school with teachers and parents all involved in the education and creativity of the students.

A district ahead of most and top in the state for at least 20 years.Pre-1st is an oppty not avail in most districts. With a curriculum developed in conjunction w/ the K and 1st programs, it prepares children not developmentally ready for 1st grade. Parents in other districts send their kids to private/Catholic school or have them repeat at the same school, so there is no ability to coordinate their learning. Statistically, the children in other districts are the same age. The school doesn't just look good because SOME children are "held back" as another parent suggested. Some kids are almost a full year younger/older simply because of the cut off. My son just made the cut off and a good portion of children missed that same cut off the year prior, so they're almost a year older than he is. There isn't anything underhanded going on to give the Unionville children an advantage. This is a district that has recognized, studied and developed a program to accommodate an issue that occurs naturally. It's not a requirement. Numbers don't lie- they don't have enough children recommended for Pre-First grade to support a claim they are holding children back. Absurd and misinformed.
