Mount Vernon Elementary School

Our daughter has attended Mt. Vernon since Kindergarten and she is in 4th grade now. They have an Excellent dual language immersion program that challenges the children to learn English and Spanish at the same time. Our other daughter is in K dual language class and although it tires her out, we never thought she would be doing so well in two languages at such a young age. The teachers care about the students and there are a lot of PTA and dinner fundraisers so the kids don't have to sell things during the year. Overall we are truly happy and blessed to have found such a great school for our kids. Even with funding cuts, they have worked with what they're given and have creative events that the children enjoy that promote respect and humanitarianism. They have Bingo for books, field trips, plays, and have a morning Mustang Mileage Club for the kids to participate before class. They support Box Tops for Education and have carnivals and recognition assemblies for the children to promote peace building. I can't express enough how fortunate we are to have found this school.

my child attended this school for 3 years. He had some wonderful teachers K-1, they worked well with all the kids. When 2nd grade came around he was put into a combo 2/3 class and I feel that he was ignored. He missed some of the fundamentals that 2nd grade offered and he felt to stressed to understand the 3rd grade work. We left the school and I am very happy with that decision.

My second grade child started attending Mt. Vernon this year. There are a lot of differences from her previous school--some good and some bad. The few things that need help; teachers need to be in class more. My child's teacher has been out a lot; some for personal reasons but most because she is at 'on-site meetings'. There has to be away to keep teachers in the classroom. The other concern I have is the safety. In the mornings they have no kind of patrol to help students cross a busy street to get to school. In the afternoons, they have one adult who helps at a 4-way cross stop, instead of at the crosswalk in front of school where there is traffic coming from 4 different directions.

My son is in Kindergarten and loves going to school every day. They have wonderful activities inside and outside the classrooms that get the children involved with different techniques in learning. The teachers there are absolutely wonderful and are always willing to help when needed.

My three sons attend MVE. 1st, 4th and 5th grades, they enjoy going to school each day. All the teachers show concern in the students and give them one on one instruction when needed. Teachers and administrative personnel motivate the students to maintain high academic standards. At MVE academic, safety, respect and care for others is the driving force that keeps everyone motivated, keep up the good work MVE.
