Whittier Elementary School

Posted August 28, 2009

Whittier is a fantastic school. My daughter has been attending this school for 4 years now and we have been very pleased! She loves school and each and every one of her teachers! I cannot complain about any one staff member at Whittier! I thank every person in that school who has dedicated themselves to teaching my child in every way! Way to go Whittier!!!

I have been a Whittier parent for two years now. When it comes to this school, it's all about who your child receives as his/her teacher. Whittier has many wonderful, caring, and excellent teachers that will teach your child no matter what level he/she is at. Unfortunately though, this varies greatly from teacher to teacher. There does not appear to be a very good teacher mentor program in place to help all of the many young inexperienced teachers. The school leadership, I feel, needs to help these young teachers more in terms of lesson planning and teaching to the different levels of learners. The PTA does it's best to provide extra-cirriculars, but struggles to find volunteers... so many programs end up just not happening. While this school has a lot of heart, it is lacking in follow-through.

Whittier Is a fantastic school! I have two young boys who are very bright. They love learning knew things and love when they are challenged by their teachers. They love their teachers and love to come to school. Whittier has many bright, young, and enthusiatic teachers that keep learning fun. They have great friends here and know that they can talk to their teachers if they have a problem.

My kids are very unhappy at this school. This is the 4th school they have attended due to military moves; yet, it is the only school they have dreaded going to. My oldest daughter begs me to move her to another school. The administration is friendly but lacks the integrity and leadership needed to run a school of this size. Children are allowed to bully other children and then get lectures. This is the worst school we have been involved in. Appearances may fool you. There are some good teachers, but without the discipline of the top levels (principle) it is useless.
