George B Carpenter Elementary School

I think the principal is a great leader in the school. She is a great asset and I'm happy having my kids at Carpenter.

My kids have been so happy at Carpenter Elementary School. We have loved the teachers and appreciate their 'gifted' program.

If you are not as involved with your kids' progress, expect a poor result. The principal is very much aware of what goes on the school ground. You will see her in classrooms and around the playground. The teachers need to refresh their agenda, the same boring lessons my child took 4-5 yrs ago, and now my youngest is still doing the same lessons. They prioritize the 'special needs' which is great but the big downfall is that the other kids are left behind. The class suffers in most cases. I know I witness it first hand.

We love this school and our child is thriving there. I find the teachers, the principal, the social worker and the other specialists to be very collaborative which seems to benefit the students. The small size adds to the sense of community and there are ample opportunities to get involved. As a working mom who can't help out all the time, it's nice to have different options.

I like the sense of community in this small school. Parents seem very involved. The teachers overall so far have impressed me, especially kindergarten. My son is very happy there, and recently we have decided to move and specifically looked at houses in the same area to keep our kids at Carpenter.
