Connerton Elementary School

The teachers are great but the administration staff are insufficient in running a productive, transparent elementary school. As good as the teachers are, without competent support from administration, this school will remain unsatisfactory at best.

Moved out of the area so my children would not have to attend this school Fall 2011. The administration is awful and teachers will not speak their minds for fear of the admin.

This is not a new school this is a transfer of Sanders Elementary to a new location. The Principal is so self involved that she cant help the teachers to teach. It is amazing that people think is is not the same day in and day out situations.There are a very few people at this school that really cares about the children and parent involvement and it is not in the Administration because there is no leadership for the parents or the students here at Sanders/Connerton with the Principal..SOOOO SAD

I was a teacher at this school for 34 years. What a wonderful school to work at! Sanders will be greatly missed when it closes at the end of this year. Thanks to everyone that made my teaching career at this school so enjoyable!

I have recieved excellent care for my daughter regarding every issues and concern over the last two years. The staff have taken great care to assist in all problems that have arisen. I am looking forward to the same personal support and care in the following school year.

Sanders has been through many changes already this school year. The administration and staff have handled them in the most professional way possible. Teachers are most often available within a 24 hr. time frame. The office staff knows the answers to most questions or exactly who to contact to get them. Go Sanders!

WOW! What a dynamite administration. They care about children first and make every effort to provide their teachers with the resources necessary to teach. The teachers are very caring and with in reason just a phone call away.

This school has a family atmosphere and very caring teachers. The teachers are sincerely concerned about my child's growth and work with me to develop a plan to help my child grow. I love this school.

Sanders Memorial is one of the worst elementary schools I've ever seen. They appear to lack interest in teaching and are more concerned with punching the clock. They excuse themselves from teaching topics like spelling and cursive writing because 'this is the age of computers'. They dropped support for the AR reading list and testing. Homework in math, science, and English are nonexistent. Their only focus is on FCAT, not education. We tried everything we could to get a transfer to a better school, but were stopped by either the school or district at every turn. It was bad enough we eventually moved to provide our children a better quality education. If you can avoid Sanders you should.

Since coming to Sanders in January of 2006 we have been very happy. The education my children receive is what I would expect it to Be. My children are happy. The teachers and staff care about them. Campus needs remodeling which I know is forthcoming in the future.
