Skiles Test Elementary School

Posted March 14, 2005

Skiles Test is truly a special place. As the principal, you might think that I have to say that. However, I truly believe it! I would not be here if I did not believe in our students, families, and teachers. I observe great things & special moments every day. I see students who are so excited to be here. They walk into our doors with huge smiles! In the classrooms, I see students and teachers working together to improve skills. In the lunchroom or at recess, I spend time with students who tell me how much they like it at our school and what we can do together to make it even better. I see greatness in the work, where students sometimes astound us with their capabilities. I see something very special on the weekends, when our dedicated staff is at Skiles Test working to create engaging lessons for the children. It is a special place... not a perfect place. We are learning together, and focused on the right things - the students who walk through our doors each day.

Thus far, we have not been happy with the education our child is recieving at this school. The teacher sends information typed out for parents and in her writing I have found countless grammatical and typo errors in her work, yet she is being paid to teach and critique my childs work. My child has been bullied and school and bus staff have failed to provide an environment in which my son feels safe. We are exhausting all possibilities to transfer our child to another school. From what I have learned about SKiles Test, it appears as if this school is nothing more than a 'pretty' inner city school. Furthermore, it appears that Lawrence Township is trying to fly on the coat-tail of their history of being a top rated program while in fact it no longer sits even close to the top of the mountain.

One of my children have been enrolled in Skiles Test. We have deceided to have him go to a private school. The teacher quality and leadership at Skiles Test has been outstanding. This is not the issue at all. What we became concerned with was the imbalance of the ethicity population and the rough attitude of a good portion of the students that we came incontact with.
