My children attend this school and I love them being there. My daughters are both gifted and talented and they are continuously challenged and met at their levels. Their teachers are excellent and have incredible leaders in their principal and vice principal. It is a diversely attended school. My children have met other children from various cultures and have learned so much from this environment. There is really so much to say about this school, but to sum it up in three words they would be: Challenging Engaging Excellence

WOW....I have have nothing but PRAISES for Chadwick Elementary. After taking my child out of private school I was a little apprehensive to send him to public school. I couldn't be more pleased with Chadwick. Each & EVERY teacher he has is EXCELLENT!!! Their learning curricular is right on target & pushes the kids to succeed. There are many extra-curricular activites for the children to participate in. The teachers are in tune with each child on an individual basis and really prepares them for middle school. I can't believe I doubted public schools. I only hope I can get these same standards as my child goes on to middle school!

I love this school! The principal is great. The teachers are great! My kids tell me that the principles are always in their classrooms. I bought a home in this area just because I waned my three kids to go to this school. The classes are challenging and the whole school tries to make kids feel like champions.

This is an excellent school. I wish other parents would comment on how superb they are here. The teachers are extremely helpful and the students are respectful. Even the crossing guards are pleasant. The nurse knows the kids by name, and Ive found that most of the teachers try to practice that same ritual. The secretaries are very helpful and understanding (to the kids as well). Im very happy I moved to this area years ago and this is my daughters zone school~ Wish this school went to 12 grade!

I currently have a daughter attending Pre-K @ Chadwick. My daughter only attendeds class for 2 1/2 hrs each day, yet I am amazed at how much she learns each day . I've witnessed the teachers come together for various activities, including pick-up after school. The principal and teachers are extremely pleasant at Chadwick. The school area is well kept. You can see that the older students of Chadwick are almost trained to be leaders to the young students and It gives me peace of mind knowing they are cautious also.
