Coliseum Street Elementary School

The Principal doe sabsolutely nothing for the school. Let's the staff and teachers deal with the kids that have bad conduct, to the point of breaking down in class. my Daughters 4th grade teacher was removed because after so many complaints to the principal to remove the "bad kids" from her class they ultimatly pushed the last nerve and had a breakdown. Now the teacher is out of a job and my daughter has no teacher. they have a sub filling in for the rest of the year, but i have a feeling my daughter fell behind. numerous complaints to the principal of different incidents and she does NOTHING. the new principal could careless. the bell rings 5 minutes late in the morning to let the kids in, her staff has the correct time lets them in, yet they get yelled at for letting them in "early" i have complained for the past 2 years and nothing has been done. she has said that the less time she is in charge of the kids it is better for her!!

This is small school, and everyone knows you there. Just feels like family.

Coliseum is an excellent school. It features small class sizes and the teachers really care! The principal Mrs. LeSassier knows every student by name and is very welcoming and approachable. However, the middle and high school are well below average. After fifth grade send your child to a magnet school.

I find that the teachers really seem to go the extra mile to bring a fun learning environment to the children which makes my children motivated to come to school and look forward to each day at school.

This is a good school it could be much better with a little more parent support, and smaller class sizes. The children need more indiviualized attention.

Coliseum has the capability to be a great school because the principal has only the best in mind for her students. Discipline The teachers need to be more professional and the parents need to take more responsibilty for their children. If all that comes together and the same principal stays, Coliseum could be one of the best schools in the district.

The school is a good school overall and the principal is doing her best to bring up the SAT 9 score. My son have been going there since the first grade and will continue to go there until the fifth grade. The principal and assistant principal are very helpful and if there are any difficulties with your child, they try do everything that is possible to help him/her. My son has a learning disability and from the time he was there, every program that is available to him has been used. The only thing I do not like is that there is not a lot of parent involvement. Other than that, I think that it is a good school and the teachers are willing to work with you, providing you do your part. My son have learned a lot since he has been there.
