Walter Douglas Elementary School

I think it is an excellent school, with a good team of teachers, because I see it reflected in the education of my daughter, and especially the enthusiasm to invest when we talk about going to school and doing tasks

The new leadership of this school is not qualified. His poor example shows in the unfavorable attitude change in staff across the board. I actually had a playground monitor tell me 'some of these kids are little brats' and she didn't know me! It's difficult to volunteer because activities are poorly coordinated. My son's teacher told me at report card time that she was too busy to return my phone calls and letters to tell me my son was having problems because she had to attend to the other 28 students in the class. This school definately left my child behind!

This Arizona A+ school while providing a superior academic environment also cultivates an envronment of support caring of the student for each other. From kindergarden students are rewarded for random acts of kindness that results in a culture of caring and low, low, low discipline problems. While academics are stressed and superior results are demonstrated, there are an amazing number of diverse educational opportunities to students inside and outside the classroom. These extra opportunities would not be possible without the extra effort and dedication of the Walter Douglas staff who make it all possible. Walter Douglas' diversity contributes greatly to its strength and culture. My children are lucky to be a member of the Walter Douglas and Flowing Wells family!
