Heinz Kaiser Elementary School

This is a WONDERFUL elementary school! Love the teachers! We have been attending Kaiser for a couple of years now. I like to volunteer and I feel very welcomed by the teachers. I love that the Principal is very involved. I ALWAYS see him walking around and checking things out! He stops and talks to the kids. I like that! We even LOVE the janitors! Tremendous parent involvement is a huge plus! These parents get things done!

I just had my oldest graduate from Kasier last year and now have a 5th and 3rd grader here. I have always been impressed with our staff and our PFO organization. They do a fantastic job!! Keep it up!

i like this school. great teachers, very motivating. also lots of extracirricular activities. great accelerated math and reading program, it lets the kids go at their own pace without being under or overchallenged. the only thing is lots of kids are advanced and lot's aren't so the advanced kids don't get too much attention while the behind kids get a lot because the teachers have to focus most of their attention on them to improve their test scores. my daughter loved this school though and you should at least give it a try.

This is a great school. It competes with other great schools nearby, but holds its own. My son's 4th grade teacher was the best (the only male is all I will say.) He is the most patient and understanding person, and that allowed my Son to excell in his work. I think the current rating of 8 out of 10 is appropriate, leaning towards a 9.

This school has strong parent participation. The only down side is that about a quarter of the kids go to daycare and seem a little behind in class. There are some great enrichment classes after school for about $10 each. I don't like that the school has a snack shack that lets the kids buy more junk food after lunch.

This school is in a great community. It offers many afterschool enrichment programs in art, dance, science, music and reading. It has a very high level of parent involement.

I think Kaiser is a great school. Their academic programs are advanced, especially science and math. There are many extracurricular activities and after school enrichment classes. Their annual school play is exceptional. The PFO is very strong and contributes a great deal to all areas of the school.

The principal at this school is efficient and the school grounds are well kept. It seems that it is a bit overcrowded but parents in my neighborhood really love it.
