3 sample parent reviews of SAMPLE SCHOOL (5 stars is the highest rating possible)
(April 2004)
"We have been more than pleased with SAMPLE SCHOOL. We pulled our son out of another Elementary school while in first grade. Mostly because the treatment of children is so much better at SAMPLE SCHOOL. Here's the biggest advantages I see at SAMPLE SCHOOL: Great Parent involvement, the children who are at SAMPLE SCHOOL belong to parents who care, the energy level of the Teachers is great (don't know why some parents would rather have an old teacher who is burnt out), the Teachers really care here (our son really loves his Teacher and we can tell she loves him). SAMPLE SCHOOL has saved our son. He will start 2nd grade next year and we are glad to say that our daughter will be starting kindergarten here next year. We drive 40 minutes each direction to take our son to SAMPLE SCHOOL. It is worth every minute.

"The educational opportunities at SAMPLE SCHOOL are minimal at best. Most children are instructed below-grade level and teachers are not provided with necessary teaching tools. Discipline and structure are lax. Although there are some good teachers here, the over-all quality of instruction is poor. Children who leave to attend public education find themselves well below level and many are retained or put in remedial courses. Teacher morale is low because of really low pay and lack of any positive feedback from the administration. Priorities are not uniform and too much time is spent off task in some classrooms. For the at-risk child that needs nuturing, there are caretakers on this campus but the real need of smaller classrooms is not provided. Teachers cannot meet the real needs of the children because of this. This is not a school for any child seeking to advance his academics."

"My children are former students of SAMPLE SCHOOL. The school is good for some people, but my children are better off in public school. Some teachers are great while others aren't. One child excelled and the other regressed. I feel that the school has some young teachers that lack the experience needed to teach more 'active' children. I have had to retain one of my children when SAMPLE SCHOOL promoted her. She simply did not learn her basic skills to go to the next grade. When I recognized the failure, I put her back a grade to keep her from failing when SAMPLE SCHOOL felt she needed to 'just try harder'. I have learned from my mistake at changing schools for my kids!!"
