A.C. Edgerton Elementary School

Amazing teachers and staff!!! My only complaint is the pick-up procedure in the afternoons. They have an ideal parking lot for a more appropriate car rider pick-up procedure to be in place but instead, dozens of adults (hopefully parents but who can keep track in all the chaos) freely enter the building and only one door is monitored. It is an open invitation for something bad to happen. They currently hand out cards to allow permission for the guardian to leave the building with the child, but again, there are doors elsewhere in the building that are not monitored. Eliminating parents entering the building everyday in droves and putting in place a safer parent pick-up procedure is a must. The new principal does not seem very receptive to new suggestions. As far as teaching goes, you can't get better teachers! I just hope they take a step back and realize their safety practices are severely antiquated.

I visited to decide what to do. The principal is amazing, although when she was gone one day, there was a lot of chaos when I went into the building. The children were all over the halls and it was a bathroom time for some, and then there were some doing other things. The problem I saw was that preschoolers were getting off the bus with no one around. Dangerous and not very safe. It is a great learning environment I'm sure, but this day, it could have been disastrous. Don't just go by what you read, go visit without warning and see for yourselves. Maybe it was just a bad moment or time in the day. Obviously the boss was gone. I would consider putting children at this school. It wasn't a total bad thing that's why I gave an average rating.

Moving from a southern region, we were apprehensive about moving north and what the people and schools might be like in comparison. We have been pleasantly surprised with A.C.Edgerton! The teachers, staff, principal, parents, and volunteers are all very involved, polite, and considerate. The exact opposite of what we expected. The children are all very well rounded and welcoming. My children couldn't be happier! An amazing school and school district, AND TOWN!!! I wish we could have moved here years ago! The principal is involved in ways I have never heard of, the teachers welcome open communication and always have the childs best interest at heart, and the office staff is always on top of things and very considerate. I couldn't be happier!

I am so thrilled to have my children attend A.C. Edgerton Elementary. We moved here from another state and the first thing I looked at was the school system. This is what I love about Edgerton: quiet halls, exciting classrooms, safety is a huge priority, teachers like parents and students, and if you have a problem and go the principal, Mrs. Kerr, the problem will be solved! She will study the problem, get everyone together and before long what seemed to be an impossible problem is on its way to being solved.

The best elementary school in the area. Fantastic principal, who knows and loves every student, the most dedicated teachers I have ever seen and a PTO that does everything and makes everyone feel welcome.
