Curtner Elementary School

Great school, very good teachers. School celebrates lot of cultural events which makes leaning fun. They have a good band program for students interested in music. School principal is very much involved with the kids and it is amazing that he knows every student by name.

I like very much this school. I am one of the many parents who volunteer in this school to make it a better place to our children. Teachers are very supportive. The result of these positive involvements with kids in mind is that our school is having a positive growing. My child loves going to school. This week is February break. Yesterday, she told me she did not want to be at home. I am very proud to say my child goes to Curtner School.

Great school, wonderful environment for avid students. Most of the teachers are very supportive. Another three words.

This school is amazing. The teachers challenges the kids academically but also concern about other aspects of learning. The school celebrated many different cultural events which enable kids to have an open mind to other cultural aspects and histories. They have a strong PTA and it is one of the few school ( if any in the district) that has a Parent Involvement Room. I also like the principal isn't just pushing the better student to improve, but to help raised the performances of the challenged students. With the recent years of budget cuts, and teachers working with less resources and more students, this school amazes me with its great performance. A little disappointed to know that it has less sports than other schools, but nevertheless, it is a great school. I love this school, which is why I am at the school every morning to drop off my kids and to talk to other parents and teahers. People are just wonderful here. My kids love it! They call it their second home.

I have othe rchildren who have attended this school. I know that my daughter need to test for RSP class, but no one would listen to me about it. I finally took her to see her doctor and he is helpping me by getting my daughter tested for resource class by writing a letter to the school. Because no one at the school would listen to me. And it upset me because they did not listen to me in first place about it.

I disagree, my child has been attending Curtner since 1st grade and is now in 5th. If the child qualifies for resources through the state guidelines they will be given. Otherwise, a tutor must be paid for out your your own pocket. Test scores are important, it's indicative of the level of learning.

This school has great teachers. I have had three children through and gone through 3 principals (my middle had all three). The latest principal always asks parent volunteers to do more and more for him and less for the teachers. All he seems to care about is test scores and not on students. They just got new whiteboards that cost several thousand dollars, but my friend's daughter who is having trouble can't get tutored because she is too high. Children who are academically higher in 1-3 get lost in the shuffle because they will score well on the state test. Those who are low are told to sit in front of a computer to learn.
