Vic Robertson Elementary School

So far so good. Hoping the other grades and our 2nd child's experience is as pleasant.

Its hard to be the 23% white kid that's not on free lunch at this school. Children in this neighborhood are rough and with that comes a lot of foul language, bullying, and I know its elementary - but a lot of soon to be promiscuity. I hate that this is what my son is surrounded by but I am a young, single parent and this is where I could afford to buy a house. I feel like there is a lack of supervision to be quite honest. My sons 5th grade home room teacher seems to be quite frustrated and the same with his 4th grade teacher and he is convinced his music teacher hates him. WOW what a way to feel as a kid! 5th graders do not get recess unless they earn it. My son will never have a perfect day- he struggles with being loud- he's a kid. He is the one that needs to get it out for 30 minutes on the playground but apparently test studies are more important. I can't wait to get out of this area!

Admin staff is horrible, when trying to get her enrolled they lost our child's paperwork 2 times. When they finally decide to complete the registration on computers, the day before the teachers were supposed to meet with parents, they tell us even though we live 4 blocks away we are supposed to send our child to another school. This was 3 days before school started (not counting the weekend). Even though we had initially stated the registration process 2 months earlier, what a joke.

I really enjoyed having my daughter attend this school, she loved her teachers and learned a lot. They took a field trip and accommodated my situation with my daughter. She looks forward to attending again and has asked about her teachers there over the summer. I'm glad they made it such a great beginning to her school experience in pre-k. Thanks Robertsons teachers and staff.
