Georgetown Elementary School

I would have liked to have given Georgetown Elementary a higher rating; however, after reading the criteria for a "great school" on this website, it should meet these three criteria: excellent teachers, strong principal/school leadership, and challenging academic programs. The principal is fabulous, can't say enough great things about her; the teachers...well, that's another story. I find the progress reports/grading system to be very weak, almost as if results are based on the previous week rather than the entire grading period. When I receive a progress report with a generic statement about my child's performance or behavior with no personalization whatsoever, this is perceived as a lack of effort on the teacher's part. I have experienced this on more than one occasion with different teachers. A teacher that is not willing to provide honest, accurate feedback to parents about their child should seriously consider finding another career. It's seems as if teachers don't want to document areas of improvement so as not to be held accountable to any written statements.

This is the best school ever!! Are oldest son started at this school and we loved it so much that we moved just so that our second son could also attend. (The school was closed to in-district transfers when he was ready for kindergarten.) I feel thankful everyday that our boys attend there.
