Deerfield Elementary School

I have two children who attended this school and with the exception of 6th grade, they both had a horrible experience. The faculty/staff are cliquey and unfriendly. Staff morale is low. Hiring practices were unfair. Bullying is a definite problem. Class sizes are huge and teachers cannot manage the numerous behavioral issues. I can only hope that with new administration, this school will make the significant improvements that are so desperately needed.

I am a recent Alumni of Deerfield Elementary School. They are constantly re-hiring staff, preventing students from forming strong relationships with most teachers. I was there from K-6 grades and formed healthy relationships with very few of the staff members. I rarely recieved help in the areas i needed both in school and with social problems. I feel this school lacks strong principal/school leaders. I would not recomend this school to anyone.

I love this school! It is run extremely well and has all of the things that other schools in the county are lacking. The technology is amazing, the building cheerful and welcoming, the cirriculum outstanding an dthe staff highly qualified and caring. My son is going into 2nd grade and my daughter is looking forward to kindergarten this year. Active PTO and very involved parents and volunteers contributes immenssely to the positive atmosphere.

Great school but the people who run this, is awful. They treat parents like we're not doing enough to be a good parent. God forbid you do something wrong, because they will call DSS!

My daughter is in kindergarten, and I'm amazed at all that she will be learning this year! Class size is small and from all the parents with older kids that I've met, I've only heard great things about this school. There are two MACs in the classroom, and they even have gym and art& music at the K level! Can't say enough great things about the teachers and the school as a whole. Lots of parent involvement also seems to really make the school a great place for kids.
