Troy Shorewood School

This school is best school any of my children have ever been in. The staff there from the office staff to the principal know the children by their first names and all are concerned about the best interest of your child. The teachers are amazing, Ms. McCabe and Ms. O'Donnell will be forever in my mind. Mr. Malloy the principal is a wonderful leader for the children. Consider youself lucky if your children are in this district.

Mrs. Moorhouse is a wonderful and innovative teacher! she is always interacting with the students and keeping them interested! Thanks Mrs. Moorhouse.

I do think they depend way too much on workrsheets, and less on researching new ideas on how to get the children interested and engaged. I have four children and each one has had at least one teacher to suggest they are ADHD and they are all straight A students. The school is ok, but the teachers seem to think of it as a job, and nothing more. A few teachers... Pevitts, Close, Mareck are exceptional.

Overall, a decent school. Many teachers seem to have no idea what current best practices are when teaching young minds...can you say 'Put the worksheets away!'? I do believe they care about kids, but they need to move into the 21st century on pedagogical choices. Engaged learning is rare in this building. Pleasant administrator, but could provide more leadership on improving classroom instruction.
