Carillon Elementary is a fabulous school. I have 2 children there now, and my 3rd starting in the fall. We walk to school whenever we can. I know my children are safe there and they learn exponentially every day! Teachers at Carillon truly care for the education of my children. Love this school!
My 2 children LOVE Carillon and the staff is very supportive. We moved in walking distance to Carillon and have never regretted it.
I have 5 boys ,3 are currently at the school and two have graduated ,I can tell you from much experience with this school that it is a fabulous school,the teachers are truly dedicated to the children,I have never had a bad experience at Carillon,and all the boys love to go there each day.
What a great school! Currently have a 4th grader, 1st grader and a 3 year old coming soon! I couldn't have asked for better teachers, staff or principal, all wonderful people!!!
While I was very excited initially about this school, my excitment turned to disapointment. There is a strong "clique" at this school and bullying has been going on for years. I know of several parents who have removed kids and the administration blames it on the one being bullied. I have had to pull my child out due to school inaction. How long will the administration allow this to go on? Even one case of bullying is too much.
Having three children go to this school and thrive the way they have, I have to say the faculty at Carillon are dedicated to the children and hold high standards of education to themselves. They have always been 100% with all my kids.
Close friendships and wonderful teachers!
Carillon Elementary School is a wonderful school! For any parent to say that there are cliques, needs to look at themselves and see how much they are volunteering at the school. It's real easy to complain and do nothing to better the school. Get involved! Parents that are involved enjoy spending time together, talking about the school and how they can make it better. As far as bullying, the school can only do so much. Maybe as parents, we should step up and teach our own children to be more kind and understanding. Bullying is a behavior that kids learn at home. And fundraising??? If not for fundraising at our school, there would be no Math Superstars, or Accelerated Reader, or Super Scientist, and no special activities that our children enjoy and learn from. Everything costs money--even copies!!! That's where the fundraiser money goes. Back into our school!
Over the years there have been parental cliques being formed, that could be leading to the bullying as mentioned by other parents. Perhaps this school is suffering from too much parental intervention, and too much fund-raising.
What can I say, as a military family moving around, out of 5 schools we have been to, this school by far exceeds the others. My children are very happy here, and so am I.
