My daughter loves this school and so do I . Her teacher have been so helpful and always going above and beyond can't say enough about the staff and all the teachers !
This school is small and takes a personal intrest in the families there. The teachers are helpful and spend time with each student. They are very proud of the school and the students.
My three children have attended Spalding Elementary for the last two years. My oldest child just graduated from Spalding and is off to Middle School. He has totally enjoyed his time at Spalding. He has made many friendships that will carry on into middle school. My midlde child has a few more issues to deal with, and Spalding has stepped up and learned more about his issues and has learned how to best accommodate my son and his learning techniques. My youngest child, my daughter, has totally loved being at Spalding for both kindergarten and first grade. She is very much looking forward to second grade. This is the best school my children have been in. We look forward to several more years at Spalding Elementary school.
I LOVE Spalding! My children have been there since the 2nd year it was open and I have 2 more yet to go in...and am looking forward to sending them where their big sisters went! I love the teachers! Love the events. We have been super blessed to have such a supportive school for our daughters!
My daughter is in the 4th grade at Spalding and has been there since kindergarten. I absolutely love this school. Having my degree in Elementary Education, I was very picky on where I wanted my child to receive her education. I feel she has gotten outstanding academics at this school and her teachers have been phenominal. She scores in the 90% in all subjects on the I-SAT tests. We love the year-round philosophy and would place her in this school all over again. The principal, Mr. Johnstone, is outstanding. He has implemented a self-esteem builder by honoring students monthly in the areas of academics, citizenship, music and P.E. The students are recommended by their teachers and recipients are given a certificate at an awards ceremonty held monthly. It's a great school with wonderful staff, teachers and Principal.
I have two sons that attended Spaulding. I truly feel that the biggest mistake I've made as a parent has been to send my children to Spaulding. Fortunately for the younger son I realized what an unsatisfactory school it was in time to change schools in the fourth grade. He is now in seventh and has nearly caught up. I think many parent pull their children out and the administration has the opinion that the children are changed when an older sibling has to go to traditional, but they truly need to review their teaching and direction from the principal
My Daughter is in her 4th year at spaulding, I don't believe we could have sent her to a better School. I look Forward to my youngest going next year.
