Ironwood Elementary School

I love Ironwood! The principal is amazing and runs this 800 student school like a well oild machine! He is always positive as are his staff members! I love how everyone here shows great concern for my children as indeviduals and supports them in their academic and life goals! They truly believe that education is a partnership and group effort and it shows!

We had two children in Ironwood for 10 years, and were very happy overall with their experience and teachers. We knew all three principals, and each cared about the quality of the school very much. Both my husband and I volunteered over the years at Ironwood (hundreds of hours), allowing us to see what goes on in the school from many angles. While there have been a few isolated incidents and aides in particular who haven't been great, we both feel strongly that the staff cares very much about EVERY student. The assistant principal is amazing -- she sees each child as an individual and gives them the benefit of the doubt, even if they're repeatedly in her office. The teachers are on the whole devoted, concerned about the welfare and success of their students, and very hard-working. The support staff are mostly wonderful, too.

The student to teacher ratio here is stated as 1:18. This school is way overcrowded. Most classes have 28-32 students.

My children have been attending Ironwood since 1998. I have three in this school. I have been very happy with the teachers and staff at this school. I have even been a substitute at this school and enjoyed that experience as well.

My child has attended since she started school and I over the years have become less and less happy with the staff/teachers and principle. My son will be starting school next year and they both will not be attending this school. I feel that they are harder on the children if they are Hispanic and both of my children are so this has been an on going problem and I think any parent who wants their child to be treated equal and fair as the other children would greatly consider sending them some where other than Ironwood.

Ironwood Elementary is an A+ school. The principal and vice-principal are very friendly, and truly love the kids. They show up for after school activities and love to participate. The teachers are excellent and both my children are thriving. My only concern is that they do not test eyes and ears at the beginning of the year. We did not know till December that my daughter needed glasses. Would have helped alot to know in the beginning. Overall..its a wonderful school
