C.A. Sinclair Elementary School

My experience at this school have been great!

My kids have moved on from this school and one that is still there. Bring my kids there feels like home, my children have the support from teachers and staff. Have an opportunity to switch classrooms like in MS when they get to 4th and 5th grade to prepare them for Middle school which I think is great. Once in 5th grade kids have another option to either take computers or play a strings instrument. If your kids have never played an instrument this is a great way for them to start and learn. The office staff are great, the nurse that is there is great Ms. Johnson. She is an experience nursed, the Principal and Assistant Principal seem to be a great team. It is a Title one school which to my knowledge can impact the schools overall score. But I can only talk about my childs education and they have learned alot, and have experienced alot. The school tries to cater to all ethnic backgrounds by having events, books and some staff to help translate and learn about different diversities.

They are really bad paying attention the kids at dismissal. We moved from other state December 2012. I let school know, I am the only one picking up my kids, but at dismissal they let my 5 years and 8 years old free in a place we had been only for 3 days, they call the cops, I found my kids hour later on the streets crying, very scared. I ask to speak to the Principle but she was busy, and the lady inside who was all the time nice to me and help me with the registration told my 5 years old, not to run out of school because its dangerous, it is not my son's responsability he never went to school before, he saw everybody walking and he walked, it is the adult taking care of the kids at dismissal, next day was better only with my 5 years old, because my 8 years old was never held. Didn't really like it, and hope it doesn't happen again with other kids, we must keep kids safe, thanks God I found my kids. Good luck.

Some of the teachers are okay but the County just re-zoned the schools and are going to increases the class size. You already have 30+ kids to a class.
