Mount Olive Elementary School

Posted May 6, 2009

I work at Mount Olive and the prior review is completely incorrect. We do not have a music or an art teacher; however, we have several teachers who really care about their students. We all want only the best. As next year looms in front of us, we are planning many new and exciting projects such as an outdoor classroom. The main problem with the school is the behavior of the older students. I enjoy working at Mount Olive and would recommend it for parents as a good choice.

Contrary to the prior parent's view, the playground was just updated last year as well as the track. We do have a music teacher and an art teacher. We also offer extra musical opportunities. There is a 'strings' class and a reflections art course that is offered after school for those that are more interested in art than just what they get from their teacher in art class. I have never seen so many parents involved in one elementary school. I always see parent's there and especially the PTA members. They have always been available if I had any questions. I know of a few situations of 'less fortunate' students arriving at our school and have seen several bags of clothing and goodies brought by the teachers and other parent's to help out.

Coming from a military background into a school that was known to have low standard was a big risk for us. I was very, very concern and was at the school often. My daughter 1st grade teacher was excellent. I explain how my daughter was and we connected. My daughter have learn so much from her. I think she has not lost anything yet. Some of the teahers there are for the kids while a large group is not. I had three incidents that cuase me to address the principal, which had slow reaction. If you show your face often you will not have a problem. They judge kids thinking that parents do not care. Now alot of military kids are coming to the school maybe it can change they way of thinking. I will still have my guard up for the next year.

My son is 1st grade he attended last year, I was very critical and scrutinized everything that happened during the year. I learned that a good education can happen and develop even in some of the worst districts in the state. The teachers deserve a lot of credit for not having an abundance of resources.
