P F Stewart Elementary School

I rate this school in the negative. In the years I have come in, or spoken with others in the community/neighborhood, my and others views are that those in “leadership” roles exhibit heavy handedness with students and their staff. Even teachers from other area schools are aware of the Stewart’s staff’s unprofessional protocols. The comments going around is, “No wonder that school got shunted off to the out of state charter company”. There is a lot of lip service to “being positive”. In reality, the atmosphere is heavy with almost nervous tension that comes from the abrupt rudeness from facilitators. They lack finesse and exhibit aggression when they perceive critique or tackling setbacks.

My child loves the school. The teachers are friendly and involved. The principle is aware of every aspect of the schools operation. The only thing I see that needs improving is the pick up proceedures in the afternoon. Security is excellent. I just wish they offered a Pre-k program for non Spanish or just learning speaking children .

Lacking in the most basic of procedures & organization. Encountered several serious issues regarding lack of communication & implementation of procedures regarding children's welfare & safety. Although I have had more than several meetings with them about ways to improve such procedures I have yet to see any improvements. Some mistakes are inevitable & thus not always preventable however in the case this school they are aware improvements need to be but lack organization & motivation to enact such changes. The teachers I must say are friendly & open to communication but unfortunately without results & follow-through it means decidedly less.
