Berryton Elementary School

My three children have attented Berryton Elementary for the past 3 years. I wanted to LOVE Berryton. But, truthfully, I've seen a lot of problems. We've had some really great teachers who have been so supportive, innovative, and very competent. But, we've also had some teachers who treated our children with great disrespect and acted as if they really hated teaching. When I've had issues and needed to speak to the principal, she completely ignored my emails and phone messages. It's been a really frustrating experience all around. I feel like my children are definitely learning. They are not falling through the cracks. However, I have to say that some of the policies and practices there leave me scratching my head and wondering were the logic is. If we had it to do over, I think we would have purchased a home in a different area so that we could've avoided Berryton.

Berryton has always been a school with parent involvement. Parents at this school believe in guideing and helping the teachers out what ever way they can. Since boundaries has changed a little along with new sub divisions we have noticed a lot of new faces. Hopefully this feeling stays with the new families. I have had two kids go to Berryton and my third one is in 2nd grade and I can't say anything bad about the teachers or the system. It is a great school for kids to learn respect, honor,and get the support and help from the staff regarding school. Regarding the principal I can't say anything negative but I haven't got to know him since he is new to the school. The other pincipal had been there for 30 years and he was fantastic.
