Blanche Reynolds Elementary School

This school is great. My child is in the "open classroom". It's one of the only K-8 in the area without a waiting list. The teachers are friendly and helpful. Each family donates 2 to 4 hours of their time helping in or around the classroom. The students get variety and small group time with their teacher. Wow!! They make learning fun and go on many field trips.

Pulled my kids out after 2 months. I participated like expected however found that other parents did not live up to their participation required to keep their kids there. In my opinion after spending a lot of time with the kids, they were behind.

Some good teachers, but not much attention paid to the 'whole child' and their individual issues at home. It seems mostly about the numbers and not about how the child gets along on a daily basis.

Just completing our first year in Open Classroom at Blanche Reynolds (a school-within-a-school) and love it! Great parent involvement, my child is learning AND having fun (and excited about school work for the first time in a long time). Teachers give above and beyond!

Both of my sons have gone to this in their entire life. Their teachers provided great feedback on their works. My younger son needed extra help, so the school did provide help for him. He has been improving getting more 3s(max) and 2+s. It has been a great experience for my two sons.

Teachers care about their students. Good mix of learning and fun. My daughter attended and I recommend this school. Love everything about it.

This school has come a long way,with a great new principle leading the school some new and great things are taking place .I have three daughters and they all are going or have gone to this school ,and I would not send them anywhere else .It is a great school with great teachers and that is what makes the school ,it may need some work on the outside ,but what counts is in the class room.

This is our first year at Blanche Reynolds,and my first experience with a public school.My son loves it there and so do I(he is in K).There is a fairly new principal there, and he has made a huge difference in all aspects especially the way it looks.He is very involved and available to talk to anytime.The teachers, parents, and students are all great people.I had a bad impression of the school by the way it looked (what a dump!),and even tried to send my son to another school but didn't get in. Now I am very pleased with everything and will keep him there happily.Another mom and I were talking about it, and we both agreed its a great school that's getting even better!
