Chapman's Retreat Elementary School

Posted October 27, 2009

I had a lot of reservations about public school but I am very glad that my daughter is at Chapman's. It is a great school. The new principal, Dr. Garriss, is the only one that we have known since my daughter started K during Dr. G's first year. From what i can tell she is doing a wonderful job. The school isn't as overcrowded since a new school opened last year. 5th grade (4 classes) are in portables; everyone else is inside. Another new elem school is planned to open soon (already being built) so it seems like they are staying ahead of the growth. The school is VERY safe (as is this entire community) and parental involvement is STELLAR. I am the room mom and I barely have to lift a finger, there are so many parents willing to help and volunteer. Great community, great school.

We are rounding our 3rd year at Chapmans and it is an amazing school. We adore Mrs. Fox, both of my children have been through her class. The school is attentive and it just feels like home for my children, they love being there and the community surrounding chapmans is welcoming and friendly. Parent involvement is amazing compared to previous schools we have attended.

Chapman's Retreat is an excellent elementary school! My family and I have had nothing but positive experiences this past year. We are very blessed to have Mrs. Garriss as our principal and Ms. Fox and Mrs. Hicks are phenomenal teachers as well! They are so caring, patient and creative! We are looking forward to another great year in the fall.

Our family moved to spring hill from ny. We are so very pleased with the tremendous growth our 4 children have had here. They felt loved, cared about and loved school! our kids came out of the inner city where lockdowns and teachers frustration were commonplace. Our kids were so apprehensive about going to school at all and now they love it, thanks to all the wonderful teachers, principal and staff at Chapmans! Thank you Chapmans, I only wish I could have been involved more, it was a very stress filled year for us. One of our consolations during this transitional year was this fine school! We struggled through hard times and they showed us full support with caring non judgmental hearts. Our kids learned such awesome things! They brought home great crafts! They were so happy to attend. Thank you Chapmans, we will miss Mr. Guanine and sadly we are moving too.
