Sanders Elementary School

Sanders Elementary has many needs just like most of the other schools in this area. There is no diversity, no challenging curriculum; there is a lack of vested teachers, parents and staff. Rules are not enforced because parents are intimidating and so are some of the children. Unfortunately, we are not afforded any other opportunities for our children unless the HB251 works out for you or you can afford private school. So as a parent you have to create different avenues to ensure that your child gets a decent education and be able to compete in a global community. If more parents paid attention to the scores and understood school politics and policies, schools in this area would get better. No one asks questions, few attend School Board meetings, PTA meetings and any other type of meeting that would help them gain knowledge of what is going on not just in our constantly failing schools but in the community as well.

I love Sandersl! We just returned to the school and the faculty & staff is very polished. The environment is warm and friendly. I really feel that my children are getting what they need at Sanders. The only thing missing is more parent participation. Actually, I think the rating should be slightly higher (5 or 6) because the test scores were great overall!

The lack of supervision in the cafeteria (during breakfast and lunch) has led to bullying and intimidation of students who are very good students and dont have the confidence to tell a teacher and expect a result.

I am very happy with this school. My son transfered here at the begining of the school year. I am thrilled with the Target program he has been put in. This school also has a wonderful Nurse that has been more than acomadating with my childs needs.

I think that this is a lousy school not enough focus from the administration not a challenging curriculum. Need a forigen language and the teachers are okay but I think that they can do far better then they are doing I pulled my son out and start homeschooling him unfortunately he has to go back to school but I'm looking for a far better school then Sanders to send him to for sure.

We have three children in this school. The administration is lousy. They offer no foreign language as part of the curriculum. The teaching staff is decent.
