Matt Elementary School

Matt is an outstanding school. It excels academically and has a strong focus on success but most importantly does not lose sight of the fact that they are teaching children. They recognize that the children are individuals with unique personalities and needs. The have created a peaceful and encouraging environment for children to strive for success and still have fun and be happy. The principle and teachers are excellent!!

I can't say enough GREAT things about this school, the staff, the environment & the area. My husband and I transferred here for work and have lived in the area for almost 5 yrs. Both of our children, now ages 6 & 8 have attended Matt Elem since Kindergarten. The teacher's have been AMAZING. From Ms. Kim that works the front desk, to the principal, the librarian's, teacher's and even the cook's in the cafeteria...they are all SPECTACULAR. We are so very blessed to have landed here :)

We have only been here one year and had an excellent year! The teachers and staff are very supportive. My son's grades improved dramatically, I thought after transferring from a different county and being so behind he would have to repeat third grade but much to all of our surprise he's going to fourth! All of the credit is giving to the school and staff for making sure he got what he needed. Love it,, hope next year will be just as positive.

Teaching to the test and using the 1-2-3 grading system is hindering the learning, development, and progression of students at Matt Elementary. Parental involvement is not encouraged except as PTA directed.

I understand the comment about teachers only doing so much, and it's true - some issues in the classroom are results of parenting style or uninvolvement. However, the test scores speak for themselves. Look at the statistics. Compared with other elem schools in the region, Matt is among the highest for parental involvement. This school is in serious need of an overhaul. The teachers aren't teaching acedemics. To the test or not, the kids aren't learning what they need to learn, bottom line. Scores and demographics show the truth.
