Evergreen Elementary School

Posted November 16, 2009

I second what another parent said about the Principal. He is not approachable at all. Teachers for the most part are excellent! They have a strong academic curriculum. However, I feel that they focus too much on preparing for the standardized tests to maintain their API scores. School should be more than just testing and more testing. It should be a place for not only learning, but also have extra curricular activities that are fun and enriching. I also agree with what others have said about the Community Club. The head of the ECC is tough. Her approach sometimes come across as abrasive. In conclusion, I believe Evergreen is a good school. However, if given a chance to attend other schools in the district, I would consider going elsewhere. Thank you.

I feel blessed to have my child at Evergreen. The wonderful teachers, staff, volunteers, and parents are what make the school great for our children. The Community Club seems to do everything that they can to help the school be still one of the best even with the cuts that the district had to do. If you are looking for a great education with people that care all the way around, I would recommend Evergreen.

This is my 2nd year as a parent at Evergreen. The principal is not too friendly. The office staff is ok. Ms. Wong is more approachable and friendly than the other staff members. Teachers are hits and misses. There are a few that are topnotch while others are just mediocre. There academic program is good. If given a choice of other schools in the district, I would opt to send my children elsewhere. I was fooled by the API scores and did everything I can to get my children into this school. At this point, I am questioning my decision.

We are very fortunate at Evergreen. We have an outstanding Principal who puts the students first every single day. The office staff is amazing. The teachers at Evergreen are some of the best in the District. I have been a parent here for over 8 years. For many of those years, I wasn't involved with the Comminity Club. I have been involved now for 3 years. It is a great group of parents who work hard to ensure that EVERY student has the same 'opportunities' to enrich their educational experience. I volunteer ALOT, and I have never asked for or been offered special treatment with student/teacher placement. To be very honest, every teacher here is worth requesting. If you are considering our school, know that you are welcome and we would love to have you come to a Community Club meeting and get aquainted. -JF
