We have moved around the country and I have found Baltz to be a very caring in terms of looking at what each child needs. My daughter adores her teacher and says she talks to the principal everyday. In her old school you never knew the prinicpal or saw him. This lady helps kids out of the car every morning and greets parents. My son is in 1st grade and is reading because they expect a great deal. I read the other reviews and I just think that this is a different dchool with this new Principal and I am grateful.
The teachers my son has had in Baltz are really wonderful, kind, and caring people. The unfortunate thing about this school is the lack of funding. It only seems to be getting worse, and great teachers are overworked with too many students in their class. One person can only do so much, so I think some students that could use a little extra help aren't getting it, and some students who are a little ahead and could use an extra challenge aren't getting that either. It's really a sad situation. The teachers are great though. They do the best they can.
I am choicing my daughter out of Baltz for the 2007-2008 school year. We were new to the area & had high hopes for the school when I registered her last summer. The teachers did nothing to promote class equality despite the kids speaking different languages. My child also received no support/challenges when she was consistently above grade level. The teacher was frequently absent & forgot to hand in important paperwork to the office that I had sent in for review. I am glad that my daughter will be going to a safer & more supportive school next year.
Baltz Elementary School is one of the finest schools I have seen in a long time. From the moment I brought my two children through the doors, I immediately got a sense got a sense of belonging. The staff greeted us when we walked in and we have felt cared for ever since. Both of my children's teachers are top notch. They give my children work that is challenging and fun at the same time. I have recommended this school to all of my friends and acquaintences.
