Arrowwood Elementary School

Our family LOVES Arrowwood! The teachers are fantastic! They offer many clubs for all grades, online reading, writing and math programs to supplement the curriculum. Many community activities and a strong PTCO. My son experienced a situation with bullying, once the teachers were aware - they took care of it and even the principal stepped in and set things straight. No tolerance for bullies at AWE. Both my children are above grade level in some areas and they are continually challenged to increase their knowledge. AWE is AWEsome!

My children have been at AWE for four years. I now have a kindie there too. I disagree with the bullying, bad language and not helping your child excel. I am in the school volunteering often and don't see that and my children are very open with my husband and me. They state how bullying isn't tolerated. My oldest son is very smart and they push him incredibly. He's in extra activities to make sure he's excelling. This school is great. I'm glad it goes to 6th grade because I feel it's protected my 6th grader from cursing, impurity and bullying that's everywhere in middle school now. I appreciate the extra clubs they have this year. Even for the youngest children.

Great school. Excellent teachers, excellent office staff. The new principal, especially, is a huge asset to the school. We love our neighborhood school!

Arrowwod has a few excellent teachers; however, most lack acceptable teaching skills and classroom control. The school tolerates a lot of unacceptable student behavior such as classroom outbursts, bullying, bad language, and lack of focus. Class sizes are enormous. Field trips are chaotic due to large numbers. The school seems to be OK if your child is in need of special assistance. If your child is average or above average, he/ she will not be challenged.

My kids and I love this school! Do your own research - the test scores are not poor, bullying is not tollerated, Douglas county schools have opened enrollment for all schools so of course, if there is room, they will accept students from other neighborhoods & districts - the school gets money based on the number of students. Great school - absolutely no regrets!

Poor test scores and school is so desperate to get smarter kids they are now accepting out of district kids. Cut the Art program when forced to make budget cuts, until Parents threatened to pull their kids out of the school. There is no skill based break out. If you kid is ahead of grade they make them sit through the grade level activites.

I have three children at Arrowwood currently and am very happy with our experience. The teachers are outstanding, some of the best in the district. The families are wonderful and dedicated as well.

My children love AWE! We have found it to be an excellent school and are excited for what the future holds!!! We love our teachers and the community feel that we get from our neighborhood school...charter schools can't compete!

After four years here and many changes in funding, we still love Arrowwood. They roll with the changes with love and grace. The front office staff, principle and especially the teachers are amazing and dedicated to each student that comes through their doors.
