Our son has attended Chimneyrock for three years, now going into his fourth year at the school. I would rate this school as average at best. During this short period of time the school has had three principals. Each time the quality of the principal seems to diminish. Last year his second grade teacher was absent more than she was present. The school did nothing to ensure the children in the class received consistent quality teaching. As with any school there are pluses and minuses, this school seems to accumulate more minuses than pluses with each passing year. I am not looking forward to this school year at Chimneyrock. If we could afford to send my son to private school we would.

What makes Chimenyrock great is the huge amount of parental involvement. And the administration encourages it because they know it only makes for a better school experience for their students. The PTA is very strong, with dedicated leaders and servers. The curriculum is excellent, with the teachers being very diligent about making sure our children are learning. The vast majority of teachers and staff are caring, compassionate people with a heart for teaching. We have seen 4 different principals in 7 years, and there is some anxiety over switching to City School governance next year (06-07). However, I think the school will continue to thrive if the level of parental involvement and staff dedication remains. Overall, my children and I have loved this school.

Overall view after having two children attend Chimneyrock, was a good experience. It seemed like parents and grandparents were always there. Most of the teachers seem to show great concern for each child and care about their life as much inside the classroom as outside the classroom. Of course, we did have one horrific experience one afternoon, which was the very first day of school with my first child. She was taken home on the bus when she should have been in after school care. I flew home, with the vice-principal right behind me just to find her sitting at our door step in tears because she could not get in. She was 6 and very scared. She was there for over one and a half hours by herself! Thank God for great neighbors!Took a long time to get over, but for the most part, teachers were really involved.
