Olive Elementary School

I have one daughter at Olive and one who is now in middle school who went to Olive. I have been a parent for 7 years at the school. I feel the teachers listen to me, and work hard to help my girls the best students that they can be. Also, they listened when my girls have had problems and tried to find solutions.

Olive Elementary is a special school full of wonderful kids, dedicated teachers and staff, and energetic generous parents. Both my kids have been challenged there and I only wish it would become a K-8!

The Olive Community is wonderful! the teachers love of learning is contagious and the kids are challenged on every level, I never seen such an enthusiastic staff! I have two kids at the school and I feel like they are always having some new experience, getting treated to some special assembly or going on some wonderful field trip! Olive is fabulous!

We love Olive School, the teahers, the community are all fabulous. Everyone seems very committed to the school and we have enjoyed being a part of such an enthusiastic school and love going to our neighborhood school rather then getting in the car.

We've had nothing but good experiences with Olive School. I have two children attending the school, one for 5 years (since Kindergarten) and one in Kindergarten now. It's a great school with a lot of parent involvement. Kids who come to school prepared to learn will learn. Parents who take the time to visit or volunteer at the school will see lots of exciting learning going on. The teachers are dedicated and work hard to keep all students learning and on task. It's a great community school.

Kids eat lunch with dirty hands. Nobody does anything about it and when you tell your concerns to the principle she protects herself by blaming you for harassment.

Most of the kids in school are out of order, aggressive bullies, even girls and guards invented all kinds of disciplinary methods like after the guard blows the whistle everybody should take a knee. If your child was bullied morally and comes home and complains and you will go to talk to the teacher you will be surprised of the teacher's reaction. Apparently you can't complain because they don't want to deal with bullying and the teacher will invent bad stories about your child to make you believe that you child is the same like others and you have no rights to complain.

Time for educational process is little. Kids don't practice writing enough and as a result your child will hardly be able to write by 7th grade. Even if your child was well prepared before - in this school your child will lose all skills and will be brought down. No matter how hard you work with your kid at home this school will ruin everything, because the most productive time of the day your child will be in this school where learning is not a priority. This school is for kids whose parents don't care about their education and if you want your kid to an elementary education,find a good school.

There is a new principle at this school and all she cares about is keeping her staff happy so the staff would like their new boss. So don't expect anything from this principle because she's not a good organizer.

My daughter has been attending Olive since Kindergarten, and I couldn't say enough wonderful things about this school! The community of parents, teachers, and volunteers is outstanding. Everyone always comes together in this tight-knit school to make sure that every student does their best. Go Sharks!!
