Flanders School

Posted May 20, 2009

I agree with the previous comment. The school and the the majority of the teachers are great. It is a Nationally Recognized Blue Ribbon School of Excellence, however the current principal was not there when this designation was given and, unfortunately, does not know how to keep the school in Blue Ribbon status. The PTA would do well to be more welcoming to new members and accept new ideas. They do a poor job of encouraging school spirit with their activities, and also a poor job with respect to the school staff. Aside from this, the school is a wonderful learning environment and there are some terrific, caring teachers. Special Ed is also top notch.

Flanders is a wonderful school. The curriculum is based on the Responsive Classroom system and it is very effective. My son loves coming to school. If you plan to send your child here, don't expect much from the PTA. They are an elitist group that does not function well and is scoffed at by most of the Flanders community as being totally ineffective. It is a real shame since they could make Flanders so much better than it already is. There is a quote on the door as you enter Flanders that is a bit ironic with respect to the PTA. It says, 'In times of change, learners inherit the earth while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.' The PTA would do well to read and heed those words.
