I have two children in Stemley Road Elementary School. I am very disappointed in the way this school and this principle handle situations.

I have 2 children in Stemley. My oldest child is in 6th grade and has been in Stemley since kindergarten, my youngest is in 1st. My oldest is in the gifted program and has been pushed and encouraged since kindergarten. The people at the school really work hard for the kids. They are wonderful. The lower scores reflect the economic status of the surrounding community, and do not give a fair reflection of the school.
