Great school. We moved to the US from a different country and were worried about how our daughter in first grade would fit into the school. She has now moved to second grade and she couldn't be happier. The teachers were understanding of our situation and cultural differences. Focus on Reading, writing skills, math and arts. Higher grades have more focus on sports is what I hear from other parents. There is a vibrant parent volunteer community too.

This school was my saving grace. We had just moved here from Illinois, and my daughters didn't want to go to a different school. The first day of school, they felt at home. The teachers were caring, understanding of their situation, and made sure that they felt at home. Now my daughter is graduating from the 5th grade. They are more confident, and they've made lots of life long friends. The parent involvement is strong. And the principal is incredible. The art program is also excellent! Could not say enough good things about this school.

My children went to this school in it's second year open. It has always been a quality neighborhood school. The teachers have been exceptional then and now. My children excelled in that school and are now all college graduates. I feel that the years that they attended Homestead Elementary School helped shape them for all of their future successes.

The children love their school. My granddaughter in first grade tells me "we don't do work; we do "fun work". The one on one interest shown to each child is wonderful. The volunteer support system is great.

Homestead is an excellent school! All students receive quality reading, writing and math instruction, as well as a high emphasis of the arts (music, art, physical education, library/computer skills). Homestead also emphasizes social studies and science instruction and character education. Parent support is amazing! Classrooms have Smartboard technology, clickers, document cameras...the latest technology to prepare our students to be successful in high school and college. The staff is very knowledgeable and they care for the whole child.

Good school overall. Teaches to the middle and open enrolled students becoming higher proportion of population which is negative in that they are not generally high achievers. Poor recent hires in the early primary grades hopefully offset by strong existing faculty.
