We are new to this school & so far opinions are mixed. We came from a school where PTA was a big part of every day life & here we have yet to know when any PTA general membership meetings are held. We like the school dances that have been held, but the Harvest Fest left a lot to be desired. We don't even really know what the PTA does & that is a big disappoint to us as I was on the PTA board for several years at our old school out of state. Our child's teacher seems to do a good job & wants the kids to learn & gives them opportunities to prove they know the curriculum. She is young, but sometimes that is a positive with more energy & a fresh way to look at things. We are concerned that maybe this school isn't "strong" enough, but we also came from an IB World school (public magnet), where academics were pushed, sometimes a bit too much for elementary level. We miss having a Spanish language class, but having Band is a nice trade for now. Overall I would say: academically it is much softer than what we are used to and the PTA really needs to step it up for next year.

My son is especially with the music teacher here, Mrs. VanderVossen. She is very sweet and goes above and beyond. I was sorry to see our favorite 3rd grade teachers leave, I was looking forward to my son having the same teacher his brother had for 3rd grade :o(

Awesome Staff, Awesome Volunteers! I couldn't say enough about this school! The primary concern is your child's education - they will listen to your concerns. End of year awards ceremony for A's, B's and improvement as well. A warm and inviting atmosphere. The principal will greet your child by name at the door each morning! New afterschool clubs were added in 2005 and the PTA is a must!

I have three children, 2 have gone to this school, 1 left to go through. I wouldn't think of sending them any where else! This school is AWESOME! I really love the teachers, they are all about the kids! They have helped my kids reach their full potential! A++++++! However, I'm not happy with the principal. She seems to have taken all the extras away, like the awards for straight A's, A's and B's. The kids are really dissapointed about this. I also see the Vice-Principal show up to more after school programs then I do the Principal. Give the kids back their awards and let them feel proud of them selves! Other then that the school is fantastic. Great academics!

My two sons have attended this very fine school for two years. The staff is very friendly and thier number one concern is the children. I have seen my sons talents grow from the great teachers at appeal. I feel very comfortable with the staff and volunteers at Appeal Elementary. My sons always come home happy and excited about what they learned at school, which is very important in our household.
