Clarence E Culver School

Not a bully free school (Many schools in this country are clearly saying Bully free school, why not these guys do that?). Teachers are not paying enough attention. No AR reading program. No spell bee (only after certain grade, why? some schools has from KG level). No weekly activity report. If parent wants to visit suddenly to the class, not permitted. (Why?), the reason is that teacher is busy in teaching. Safety is just for show, they dont hand over the kids to responsible person. The bottomline is, by giving a nice presentation to parents that doesnt mean school is good but how the child is progressing and behaving at home is a good indicator that he is getting good education. Overall, my child and we as a family not happy with this school.

I really like how progressive this school is and that the parents are very committed to provide the students with everything they need along with the staff. Everyone is so nice and very welcoming, my child is getting so much out of his time at Culver.

Great school! Teachers pay great attention to each child's individuality, but at the same time endorse fundamental principles and values as respect for others and proper behavior.

Culver School has been everything I'd imagined, as a parent, that a school should be. The faculty and staff are always supportive and helpful and the teachers are very committed to seeing each child succeed. The parent body is very close-knit and the PTA does some amazing things.

Its a great feeling knowing that your kids are safe,and getting the right education. They have good programs for special kids, and the staff are caring, listens to parents input...They don't discriminate,they don't allow bullies.....I know because I always volunteer and observe....

I attended school in District 219 for nine years. My first three years were at South school, and my last six years were at Culver. Some teachers at Culver displayed caring for their students, but other staff members, including the pincipal, Alexandra Nicholson, and assistant principal, Janice Geisheker formed opinions on students extremley fast. It was simple, they liked you or they didn't. Your grades, envolvement in school activites, and detention status was based on their opinion of you. If you are currently looking for a school for your child, I do not recommend Culver.

Both my children have gone to Culver since they were 5 years old. Culver is a school where the children come first. Each child is encouraged to do their personal best without being labeled as the smart or dumb kids. The teachers are highly skilled and work hard to bring out the best in each child. The principal is kind and knows each child by name. She is a great example of a leader .
