Arlington

This review pertains to the first grade program at Arlington Elementary during academic year 05-06. The teachers are truly devoted to their job; however school and district administration are not dedicated to the faculty. Our son is one of 29 students in the first grade, and the school has continued to accept more students into the class. We've spoken to the teacher-- she has no TA or other assistance for her classroom. During parent-teacher conference the teacher advised us the district and local administration has no motivation since the majority of the parents are apethetic to their kid's situation at school. The school has a high transient student base. Staffing is not expected to increase hence there is little likelyhood the student/teacher ratio will improve. Our son has been subjected to violence at school. Due to the teacher's overload we observed our son's academic progress was initially delayed.

This school definitely raised the standards for what I expect from teachers. My sons 3rd grade teacher Mr.Freeburg was an excellent example of leadership and success. He always pushed the students to help them excel and supported them in all areas. He was in contact with us anytime he had a question or needed our help at home. There was never any worries as to whether or not my sons needs were being met. Awesome teachers!
