I have 2 children attending now & another will start this fall. After spending years of research on schools in the area, I chose White Plains to build my home prior to my first child starting school. I have not been disappointed!!! Best decision I ever made.

I enjoy sending my son to this school, we have been here since my son was in the 3rd grade (now in 6th) and the growth that we have seemed is huge. This does put a large strain on everyone but over all they seem to be cooping. I am also excited about the new middle school that is being constructed and look forward to my son moving over to it after winter break. As for the student to teacher ratio there are 127 students in the 6th grade and only 5 teachers so you do the math. Next year the school will be K-4 and that will help tremendously with space. When it comes to homework the key is which grade is your child in, 3rd and 5th have a lot of homework because they have ARMT testing, other than that the homework is not bad.

I think White Plains elementary is a really good school. The valley I live in used to be small, and isolated. People are coming here so their children can benefit from our culture, values and way of life. The people I grew up with do their best to accommodate the influx of folks seeking a better way. Most of the time it works. As for homework my son works about one hour a night four nights a week and makes straight A's. I for one am well pleased.

This school is the worst school I have ever sent my kids to.I really do not see how there scores are so good on the testing. Hours of homework only to make failing grades. They expect you to teach your child not the teachers. As for special education what special education. We have recently changed schools.My child was making all failing grades now my child is making all A's and B's.As for the disciplining of these children what group do you have to be in to get equal treatment for your child. Consider this if you are thinking of sending your child here.If your child can teach themselves,or is a big bully then this is the school for you.

White Plains Elementary Has really grown! I loved the school when it was smaller with only half the students. When you could actually eat lunch with your child more than once a month. And meet with the principle and teachers at our conveyance not their's. It is also beginning to seem within the last year or two that the smart (Dynamic)students are recognized more than the average students that really try hard but just can't excel high enough. There's an enrichment program offered to these gifted children I guess to make them smarter, but no tutoring or extra help offered to make the average kids smarter.Whats the problem here? When a child works hours on end on homework each week and doesn't do good on a test, shouldn't that put up a red flag? And I think the homework is ridiculous! 4 and 5 hours a night?
