Covington Elementary School

Posted February 12, 2009

This has been the worst school my child has ever attended. We are a military family and move often so we've had plenty of exposure to public schools in many states over the last 11 years. This particular school in my opinion lacks monumentally in child supervision. The ratio for adults vs. students at recess is 1 per 100 students. On a typical day there are about 200 students (1st-6th grade) altogether for recess. You do the math. My son has been harrassed and threatened numerous accounts both in class and at recess. The faculty/adminstration is proactive once the parent gets involved and endorses a 'no tolerance' policy for this behavior. However, this would'nt be an issue if there was proper supervision being administered. On a side note the student body (more so in the upper grades) has very strong clicks so if you are a new student be advised.

My child generally had a good experience at Covington Elementary. I found the administration to be helpful and supportive of parents and students on many levels. There were many extracurricular activities for parents, but few which actually involved students, and I would like to have seen more. My biggest complaint is that there were far too many fund-raisers! It seemed we would hardly get done with one before the next would begin. Overall Covington was well organized, with caring teaching and admin staff, and was a good experience.
