i went to enders for K and 6th grade (not K-6th but for K AND 6th) and i must say i had a wonderful time in K but my 6th grade year wasn't so good...i feel like the stuff is too easy for me and they go to fast not focusing enough on "education" like they have too many activities and i feel like they slacked off in science and history so when i take my history benchmark this year, i'm not going to do so well on the history part because 6th grade was lacking. Maybe it was the students their before but i couldn't get along with them and they made me feel left out. Although i had a good relationship with Mr. Guilfiole (hi!!!) i felt like it was really easy, wasn't challenging enough. overall i wished i had a better experiance but...yeah
This school has great teachers! They go above and beyond for the kids. Some teachers tutor after school and a lot of the teachers are involved in talent shows, PTA, and extra curricular activities. You can tell the teachers here at Enders want the kids to succeed. Very friendly staff.

My daughter is in the 2nd grade. Her 1st grade teacher was very good. She learned a lot there. Her 2nd grade teacher is Mrs. Genzel and she is great. My daughter always comes home telling me about all the neat things she has learned in class. Mrs. Genzel is awesome. She really makes going to school fun and a great experience for her students. If she reads a book to the children about a particular item or theme, the next morning she will come to school with something for the kids to eat, that pertain to the story. The classroom is set up with all kinds of props for science. The room displays the children s work and picture of field trips they have been to. I hope and pray that my daughter can get her as a teacher in another grade. Great teacher!!!!

The best school ever the teachers won't stop until the students understand they encourage the students.

Enders has a great staff. We are new to the school. The principle, the school secretary, and many other staffs were supportive and assisted us in the enrollment process. The teacher is care, enthusiastic, and informs us regularly about our children's progress. She gives them challenge and support them to thrive. The Parent Teacher Association is strong and provide a lot of support in order to make the learning process become interested. Thank you very much for creating an excellent learning environment

Enders has the best teachers EVER! They go above and beyond to help the kids who need a little extra help. I have four kids that all attend Enders and they are very happy there! The principal is great too, the entire staff cares about their students. I am very happy with this school!
—Submitted by a parent
The principal doesn't know how to handle any parental/student concerns regarding some very serious issues. There are some very good teachers there but there are a few that need to try harder to treat every child equally. My child still loves her school regardless but I am still looking into other schools in our area.
—Submitted by a parent
Most of the teachers are great but principal should retire, she doesn't like any programs the kids would / could benifit from if it incoviences her in any way.
—Submitted by a parent
This school has gone down hill there is a major lack of teacher involvment and no leadership.
—Submitted by a parent
The parent participation is above average, however, I have heard some complaints, from children and parents, about a few of the teachers. My children seem to like Enders and have been happy with their experience at Enders Elementary.

We have been very pleased with Enders. Our daughter has attended K-2 grade. The school is safe and clean. We would like to see them upgrade the playground equipment.
