Villas Elementary School

I love this school! The teachers are excellent and the office staff goes the exxtra mile! Iv'e had three children attend Villas k-5 and those are some of their fondest memories. 3rd and 5th grade especially. The teachers are so caring and attentive to the students' needs. It was an A school when my kids attended, Thanks to the staff and Mr. Jon Looney, Principal.

Villas has been a wonderful experience for my son who is a high functioning autistic. His teacher Miss Sadie is the absolute best. She is in constant contact with all the parents and will always answer questions or concerns. I met a parent who her son had her last year and they still talk frequently. Since school began my son is fully potty trained drinks from a regular cup and speaks in full sentences. She is absolutely wonderful.

Villas is an excellent school with great teachers. The only problem is the new principal. She is not as involved with the students as mr luni was. It would be perfect if he did not retire. Although the principal does not get involved with the students, the teachers make up for it.Not only did they get the ball rolling on a new playground , they assisted the pta in raising money no thanks to the principal and vice principal.

My son experienced a great year at the Villa's, he was in third grade with Mrs. Bruni who I found to be on top of her students. She kept them interested yet she was in total control of the kids with the perfect mix of compassion and discipline. The principal was someone I saw involved whether hearing it from my son or seeing him help with the kid pick-up. My two problems with the Villa's was the lady in the lunch room-she never let down trying to diminish the childrens self esteem-my son as well as my neighbors 5th grade son came home every day with a story about her or worse, she brought them to tears. The other problem was the guidance counsler who maybe was overwhelmed with the testing, but I found him to be very dishonest. The teacher was important-and she gets a high rating!

My son has been theire since kindergarten, and now is in 5th grade. He has had a wonderful experience with the staff at the schoo, from the clinic's concern over his need for glasses to his afterschool program. They are an attentive bunch of folks there who offer great support and incentive for their students to excel.
