As a parent, I'm glad that the District has been able to find the money, even in these bad economic times, to add a teacher to drop class size.

Donaldson is a poor elementary school. There are more than 30 students in the upper elementary grades with 3 of the 4 taechers unable to cope with the high number. My son's self esteem and overall love of learning has tanked having to be at such a lousy school. The principal spends more time at the district office or off campus than he does on campus.

Everyone at Donaldson is so accomodating. My son wears a hearing aid, and they have taken every step possible, so that his education is uninterrupted. The teachers, staff, nurse and principal are absolutely amazing! My son is excited about school and the teachers are the best of the best!

We just recently moved into the area. We had a choice between Harlelson and Donaldson and decided to send our children to Donaldson. The was an excellent desicion. The staff is terrific and always willing to help. The teachers take time to help each child. Even the bus drivers are excellent with the children. I am glad we were blessed to find such a terrific school for our children. This is a 5 Star school all the way!

Everybody at this school is simply wonderful. The teachers, the office staff, the principal--everybody is extremely helpful and wants the best for every child. I couldn't ask for a better school for my children.

Donaldson happens to be one of the better schools. Because of where I live, I have the choice of sending my kids to either Donaldson or Butterfield and after speaking with several parents from both schools -- Donaldson won, hands down! The teachers and staff are great. The principal is there if you need to speak with her and best of all, the kids really enjoy going to school!

Donaldson is a small school with a great sense of community. Everyone is made to feel welcome. Their PTO is small, but strong, and meetings are very friendly. Parent volunteers and other volunteers are used to enhance the curriculum and help add to the already caring environment.
