My granddaughter attended Polk for her K year 2008-2009. She had Ms. Liverpool who is fantastic. Being ahead of her grade level, my child tended to visit her neighbors and have discussions. Ms. Liverpool and her assistant were able to contain this problem and my child finished the year with 102 of 103 correct on the PALS testing. The office personnel are most helpful. Ms. Whitfield, the guidance counselor, and Jean Studech, the nurse are on top of every situation. In fact, the nurse let me know of a voice problem my child had before I even noticed it! You cannot beat this school. All who work there are truly amazing.
Awesome School and the fith grade teach Mrs. Peaches is a very special teacher. The city of Alexandria should be proud to have her as a teach in their district!!
James K Polk is a great school! The staff, administration and teachers are energetic, enthusiastic, and supportive. The parent involvment is the best of any school we've been enrolled in. The community at Polk is very tight-knit. It is overall a place to grow close, lasting friendships, for children and parents alike. We feel very fortunate to be part of this community. There is a good variety of extra cirricular activities. After school, the PTA organizes foreign language classes and dance classes. The band, orchestra and chorus progrms are accessible to all. The city offers after care in the school staffed by a great group called Compagna. I would suggest anyone looking to move to this area to definitely look into this neighborhood! It is a great place to raise kids and enjoy neighbors!
Attended here in 1968-69. Mrs. Feldman's class. It's gotten a new upgraded facade since then. Lots of new equipment and supplies. Used to live in a townhouse on Taney. Pleasant memories.
