Alderwood Elementary School

Great school and very good education for children. My child attended since kinder and I highly recommend this school. Very good extra curriculur activities.

This school has a several TERRIBLE teachers, who openly ridicule students. Several parents brought this up to the principal, who said she would "address" it...nothing happened. Needless to say, I removed my children from this school. By the way, I am not some disgruntled parent whose children 'couldn't cut it' at this so-called excellent school. Our children got A's at Alderwood, as they continue to do in their new school.

My happy, smart, and social child was extremely unhappy and always scared at this school. There was bullying, teachers were disciplinary and not caring in nature, and sometimes even ridiculed my child in front of the class. When the bad behavior of certain teachers was reported, the principal took no action.

I transferred my child out of here. I will homeschool my child before even thinking about enrolling at this school. The kingerdargen staff, lacks the experience to communicate with both the students and the parents. The put up a front, and don't care about the students. If you want to be treated like an animal (perfect school)... Lucky you, if after some time they aren't this way... Maybe because they read this and changed!! (:

I agree with ->Posted January 4, 2011. This school is a mess!! You can't walk your children to their class..... I don't get how the parents are delighted that their kids attend this school. The teachers are allowed to say the word "S*****" during class; If you speak with the principal or teacher about an issue, you basically get laughed at. The teachers wants to TRAIN the students to be robots, and they want to change the way the parent raised their kids. (SO FORGET ABOUT RAISING YOU CHILD RIGHT) The school is a joke. Idk how this school got a 10 rating, It just shows not to believe what you read, but what you see in person!!!!

Every single encounter I have had with the office staff here has been awful. They are incredibly rude. It doesn't matter if you have a smile and a great attitude. You won't have either when you leave.

This school is a mess!! You can't walk your children to their class, you will be stop and ask no to step school ground. Direct your concern to your teachers only by email voice mail and wait for a respond. If there is a problem regarding your child, there is a chance you won't be notify. I'm looking for another school for my kids next year.

I cannot assume this for the entire staff but my child just finished the schoolyear and his teacher was a MAJOR disappointment. Instead of building his confidence and nurturing him like teachers should, she breaks his spirit and makes rude remarks to him. Halfway through the year, he lost motivation to try his best because of her. I am glad that no student will have to deal with her again.
