Achilles Elementary School

Posted April 29, 2009

My daughter is in kindergarten and so far I am very pleased with the way the staff is involved with the students. My daughter has a slight disability and the teachers and staff that is involved with her have been on top of it and kept communication open with us the parents since the beginning of the school year. Due to this, this has helped my daughter progress, be social and participate in all that she can. There is always some type of activity going on for the students to participate in and always be active in the school. I am very pleased how the principal is very involved and concerned about my daughter as well as the teachers that she is involved with daily.This was my elementary school as well and was very happy when we were able to have my only child be involved with this school as well.

I love that there are monthly (if not more) activities for the parents and children to become involved in together. Teachers are very friendly, SOL scores are high, and staffers know ALL children by name. I love the closeness of this community driven school.

My son has been a student at Achilles for the last four years. His fours years there have all been wonderful. The small class size is great. He had perfect scores on all his SOL's along with most of his class. Great teachers, clean building!

This school needs a major over-haul. The teachers lack motivation and enthusiasm and many of the parents refuse involvement with their children. We are not sure how long we will be here, particularly since Achilles is taking on students from a nearby elementary school under renovation. I would love to see more emphasis on developing well-rounded and bright children, not high SOL scores.
