I love this school for my 5 year old in kindergarten. If you notice the bad reviews are old. They have made a lot changes recently. From what I understand they were not a very good school a while back. The teachers are great and do a wonderful job of catering to each child. The principal is EXTREMELY involved in everything everyday, and pays attention to the kinds as well as his duties. The office staff is awesome and personally I love them! Very friendly and helpful as well.

My daughter has just entered 1st grade. She attended Whitney last year for kindergarten and I can't express how great their teachers are. This school has the children's best interest at heart. Recently, with school just starting last week (August 23, 2010) Whitney has a new principal. So far he exeeds my expectation and the children "adore" him! He interacts with the kids on the playground, participates in the classrooms, is very personable and "listens". I'm so excited for the school this year with a wonderful new leader. I will say the principal before the current one was also fabulous! So this school will continue to excel. The one area of improvement we need at this school is more parent involvement in the PTA! I encourage the parents to please attend meetings and help out as often as you can.

My son just started kindergarden 3 weeks ago and I cant say how much I love the school! The teachers/staff have been nothing but helpful and nice :) The only down side is the parking/pick up situation. But I heard that will be fixed before the start of next year.

Principle is really rude and the picking up and dropping off the children is caotic...

This is my sons first and last year at Whitney. The teachers are wonderful and address all issues and needss the kids may have. Th office, including th eprincipal need a great deal of training in professionalism and dealing with special children. Thank you teachers for helping my son become successful

My daugther has gone to Whitney for 3 years now; I would like to see the staff gain more training on dealing with students needs. Difficult students are sometimes bored students and the staff needs to learn how to recognize that. It wouldn't hurt if the school principal would take a class in human kindness as well.
