William A. Diggs Elementary School

Posted November 18, 2009

Let's be fair; yes the school is overcrowded but that is due to the large influx of new homeowners in the area. Diggs is a brand new school but still was not equiped to deal with the rapid growth due to new construction. They are making the best of a bad situation which is occuring in other schools in the area as well. Concerning the staff and teachers; unfortunately the majority of teachers and staff in every school system have less than desirable people skills so it is up to us as parents to demand they provide the tools we need to ensure our child's success. My husband and I have done just that and once the teachers see that we are not going to back down, they comply. If you attend the PTO meetings, you will be informed in details exactly how all the money from the fundraisers is distributed.

I must say I was very nervous about moving my son from private school to public school but I have to say that was the best decision I made. The administrators and teachers have been excellent and has helped to make this transition very smooth. I love how the parent-teacher-principal interaction. My son has become one of the most confident little boys I know. He comes home and tell of the praise and stickers he receives from accomplishing all the work placed before him. He is excelling academically and loves to bring home his smiley faces. I appreciate all Diggs has done for my son in such a short period of time.

This school has been a huge disappointment to us. It is way over capacity. The office staff are very rude and unhelpful. The whole atmosphere of the school is negative. The children spend way too much time on activities such as fundraising (and who knows where this money goes?) and not enough on learning. Achievement awards are arbitrary and reward children for things like good attendance (which surely in elementary school is the parents', not the childrens' accomplishment). Communication from teachers to parents is poor. Teachers seem overwhelmed by large classes and too many behavior problems. We are desperate to move out of this school district.

This school way overcapacity. The majority of students my children go to school with are overindulged by their parents. The school administration does nothing but accept mediocrity from the students and lame excuses from parents. If I could, I would move just to get my children out of this school.
