This is an amazing school with an incredible teaching staff. The teachers truly care about their students and make every day a great experience.
So far my son has gone to the hospital and was insulted in front of the class, I'm not impressed!!
My daughter is in 4th grade and has been at Butler since Kindergarten. She has had great, dedicated teachers every year. All of her teachers have done their best to keep her challenged in the classroom.
Top notch staff handle secrity issues very seriously (important these days). Lots of homework for kids. Very impressed with how fast my third grader has progressed since K. Can't wait to send my twins there next year.
This is an absolute wonderful school from the secretary to the principal. I have 4 children and have experienced public as well as private education as a parent. My son has struggled academically with a speech problem and he has made a tremendous amount of progress due to the dedication of the teachers at this school. This is a top notch school.
The teachers and principal are all wonderful. I couldn't ask for a better environment for my children. The only negative thing is the overcrowding, which hopefully will be taken care of with the next referendum vote.
This is a great school! In 2005 we had to move out of state and it appears that we always use Butler as a bench mark to compare our current experiences. I miss the staff and adminstrators and long to return to the area for the type of education our daughters could be earning.
We love Butler School! The teachers are all wonderful and get the kids engaged, and the Principal does a great job leading the school. Only complain is the annual equalization by class size' rule 33C has in effect. It seems that the majority of the district goes to Butler, no matter where they live. Almost like they want the students from the big, new houses to go to the new school. The PTO does a great job organizing events and the art parents are wonderful!
In think that the school is well run by the staff and the administration. They really take their time to help each student as an individual. The only gripe I have is the school secretary, Stacy. She is always frowning and makes parents (yes even the parents) feel unwelcome when they come to pick up their own children. If Butler wants to gain better face value, they should consider having a people person run the front desk.
