Collier Elementary School

I believe in standing behind our teachers they truly have a hard job. I have two children that attend Collier Elementary school one does exceptional well and one does not and my concern lies with how the school handles the children that don't doing so well instead of giving them proper help and meeting their needs they get branded and made to feel worse. I find that Since my son started going to Collier Elementary his academic progress has significantly declined. My son feels bullied at this school by Staff of all things and nothing is being done about it. When I address this with staff all I get is the run around and words that amount to they don't care, he is just data a body to keep what little funds they can get. I'm upset that my son seems to be falling through the cracks at this school and Whats more upsetting is that administration there condones it. I'm sad that I can't put him in a different School because of school boundaries very frustrating and fear of being prosecuted for doing so .

If you want your kids to attend a safe and friendly school that allows your child to flourish, this is not the school. Some of the teachers and aides are very aggresive and use bully tactics . They are more worried about uniforms being tucked in and disciplining than they are in educating. If your child gets a step 4, they will sit in a "buddy rom" facing the wall, doing nothing all day! They are not allowed to make up the work, so they receive Fs for missing assignments. Oh and any faculty in the school can give your child a step 4 from step 1 in a matter of seconds, just for them asking why the are being put on step. If they look any were other than the wall they are escalated to the next step, if they look like they have an attitude because they feel they are being treated unfair, they have been escalated to a step 3 and then if your child reminds the faculty that they left them on step to long (only suppose to be 3-5 mins) by saying "Hello" they are now at a step 4. The school will deny your child to contact you if they need you. I could go on and on. You have been warned!

collier helped me become a better student in math and the basketball coach helped me mr teer the best

My son has been here since the start. Once your child makes only one mistake they put a tag on them. He was suspended from school his 8th grade year, which he had never had any type of disciplinary issues the whole time he had been there, 2 weeks before the summer time. We were told for something that had been happening all year and we are just now hearing about this, poor communication. The 8th graders were treated like they were in jail, not allowed to wear jackets or bring a backpack. Not a very good way for my son to spend his last year as an 8th grader.

I like my teachers alot because they are fun and help me learn to read.

Collier Elemntary has fabolous opportunities for students and community members to work together. As a community member I enjoy the students

Collier Elementary School is a great place for kids! It's about time the administration got rid of people who are ineffective in the classroom! Finally, an administrative team that cares enough about our children to provide the best quality teachers in it's classrooms! I can't believe the difference in climate and culture, already, with just a few bad apples gone! Thank you administrators!

I went to Collier in 8th grade and I can say it was a fun school in the sense I never had to do anything. The teachers were funny. I had one good teacher and that was in science. Other than that I did not learn anything but had a good time just running the school pathetic!

My son has been bullied at this school since he started last year. The Principal is not professional and there is a significant amount of undisciplined children. There is no Junior National Honor Society at this school either. My son is at a disadvantage at this school.
