Quentin Elementary School

Quentin has made a lot of progress and growth this school year. The quality of education that has been provided to my son has been exceptional.

This is another bad school part of Littleton. The school resembles a prison with large gates and teachers who scream at the large student poulation. Some teachers are on cell phones texting and not watching the kids. I would not want my son or daughter going to this unfortuante school!! Not a desirable area to live in. Sad but very true!!

I have been with Quentin since it opened it's doors and have seen many changes take hold over the years. This year has probably been the best the school has seen. We have a very dedicated staff and administration who are pushing our students toward great success. We also have wonderful parents who truly work as partners in the education of their children. I am proud to be a member of the Quentin community!

I am a teacher at Quentin and have been in the district for many years. I appreciated the comment about how hard the teachers and students are working. It's so true. I'd also like to mention that the parents are working harder too. Almost all of my parents are checking students homework everynight and signing off on it. They write frequent notes in the agenda or call. Many even go over tests and classwork with their child and have them fix their errors. I really feel like we are a team working together.

It's true that the expectations for both teachers and students are higher than ever, but the students are producing and their scores prove it! This school has come a long way since I started here over 5 years ago. Administration cares very much about the staff and students. The students here at Quentin are the best!

I have been a teacher for over 5 years and have worked at several school in that time. The current administration team at Quentin is by far the best I have worked with. They care about academic performance, safety, and student well being. They are also some of the most accessible administration (for parents and staff) I have every worked with. While parent involvement at Quentin is notoriously low, it has improved this year considerably. The students are relatively well behaved and very accepting of the special needs populations on campus. Students all over campus go out of their way (without teacher instructions) to greet, help, and be generaly positive towards my students with special needs. Quentin may not be the highest performing school right now but I will still be happy to send my own children here when they are school aged.

I am and have had 4 children attend this school and have seen changes of many sorts. If I may say so the current Principal MS. Couret is trying to improve the school and enviroment so that the final outcome may be that of a pleasant experience. Yes I have read some of the comments that other parents have as issues and concerns, & to some extent I agree it may come accross as very Zero tolerant but to some degree the children are there to learn ALTHOUGH enjoy the time they are there as well. With that we need to be involved as parents to make a difference and voice our concerns so that the principal has an idea in which direction the schools needs to go in. I for one am really pressed for time but I am welcomed for even 15 minutes of my presence in anything I can help. I am expecting to see some positive growth moving forward, as my hope is to make it a fun, pleasant learing enviroment my children are at.

I have two children attending Quentin. Anytime I've had a concern or issue with either of my children, I immediately contact the teacher (or in my 7th graders case, teachers, as there are several). I have recently contacted the principal and I have to say, both principal and teachers have responded to me quickly. As a busy schedule I may have, I use email as my way to contact and it's been successful. I feel my children are in good hands and I as a parent will continue staying involved the best I can for my children. Quentin staff cares for my children and I am so thankful.

teachers are often moved around. attendance is a complete mess. pickup and drop off is not consistent. teacher or staff does not care enough to stay with kids who are lost and don't know what to do. Too many adults around that are not really doing anything. Kindergarten is not well structured. This school is the first that I've seen for being so unorganized.

My kids are very happy at Quentin. I have read the comments on this site, and I want to contribute to the positive remarks. The administrators are very friendly and quick to help parents. They have the best office staf, who are always friendly and smiling. Yes, they have improved in many areas since the school opened. There is a lot of communication that goes home, including phone messages with reminders. They have sports that my kids participate in. I am very happy with my students attending Quentin, and hope that everyone has the same experience that my family is having.
