Edith Wolford Elementary School

Other reviews are right on. ASD20 administrators and school board needs to read these postings. Principal lacks leadership and is unapproachable. Teachers are afraid to complain about anything for fear of their jobs and don't respect the administration. As a parent, I don't respect them either after viewing the inaction since change in adminstration at this school about 5 years ago. Test scores are low compared to rest of district. There are some teachers that flat out need to be fired. If you can avoid those few, the other teachers are wonderful.

I agree with the last review. Bad and good experiences. K-2 are wonderful teachers. Have had many many issues with a current teacher and the principal refuses to do anything about it. Also had a bully issue and again nothing was done to resolve this, so much for the District 20 no bully policy! Love the TAG, music and extras teachers! Very, Very disappointed this year!

I've had good and bad experiences with this school. The P.E. and music teachers are extraordinary and the kids love them. The 5th grade teachers are wonderful. A few of the lower grade teachers I would not recommend. I found the principal and asst principal to be dismissive and in denial of parents' concerns.

I agree with the previous review. Extremely poor management. Administrators lack management skills and do not have the respect of the staff and parents. Test scores have been sliding the past 3 years since the current administrators look over. Looking for a good, postiive environment for your kids? You will definitely not find it at Wolford!

Unfriendly staff and negative atmosphere. Some of the lowest test scores in the District. Inexperienced and inefficient adminsistrators who lack leadership skills.

My daughter attends Wolford Elementary for Kindergarten. She absoulutely loves her teacher Mrs. Morgan and everyday is very excited about going to school. She is challenged every day her reading, spelling, etc., has far surpassed my expectations. We as a family have been very pleased with this school. Thank you Mrs. Morgan for making such a wonderfull impression on my daughter.

My child thrived at this school. Wonderful, creative teaching--focuse on the individual-- and great leadership. The sense of community here is strong.
