Section Elementary School

It is a great school. The teachers are engaged and friendly. The school is safe and welcoming and my kids have flourished there over the past 5 years. A great school

Section Elementary, This is my 15th consecutive year with kids in Section. Congrats to the parents that only had their kids in there for a couple of years. I think Section is a pit. The problems begin with the Principal. His main concern is looking important. He has sure failed to ensure the teachers do not bully the students. This doesn't surprise me because, in my opinion, he is a bully. The biggest bully on the Section playground. Perhaps that is because he identifies with them. Every time I took an issue to him, he would intimidate and bully my child, all while telling me there was no issue. Hint: When a child is afraid to go to school, there is a real issue. He is condescending to women. In general, he is a failure to students and will not advocate for them unless it is a situation or family that will make him look like a hero. It is all about career standing and not providing a good education in a safe environment. The school psychologist would do us all a favor if she stayed home. She sits in meetings with a superior attitude and allows the speech teacher, alone, decide when no more speech is necessary. Now I have a young adult that is still hard to understand.

I'm a very involved parent and I can't say enough good things about this school. My son was having a hard time learning because of his ADHD and was very far behind in reading and math, he also needed help with his speech and because of the wonderful teacher's especially Ms. Saidler, Mrs. Power's, Mrs. Willis and several others he's almost caught up to grade level now. Mr. Slane is an excellent Principal and is very approachable for both students and parents. The ladies in the office take their jobs and the safety of our children serious, but are very friendly and willing to help with whatever they can. Every one who works in this school goes above and beyond for our children and they do it all with a smile!

Section is a wonderful school. My daughter needs a little extra help as she is behind due to speech and hearing issues, and everyone is so patient with her. Mrs Lang is a wonderful caring teacher, I couldn t ask for a better teacher. Mr Slane is a great principle; he is kind and very involved with all the students. Parent involvement is strongly encouraged which I think is important. I was impressed that the ladies in the front office made an effort to know who I was in the first few weeks I was there; they knew me and who my daughter was. I have been scolded by them a few times, for not following the rules, but that is because they take their job and the safety of our children seriously. I definitely appreciate that. The school is very well organized and I feel great about leaving my child there every day. She has grown so much and is looking forward to first grade. That says a lot.
