Challenger has been a great place for my children. The teachers, staff and everyone in the office have always been helpful and you can tell they care about kids. I feel very fortunate to have my children at Challenger! The scores considering how big the school is is really quite remarkable.

I know that the success of each student at Challenger is the primary goal for the entire teaching staff. The test scores of these kids, as a whole, reflect the efforts these teachers give each day. I know my child strives to do extra hard work during testings to prove how well his teacher is working for him. Thank you for making my kids want to learn and love going to school. It was sure different when I was a kid. Great job to everyone at Challenger.

I have had several issues with Teaher's and the Principal's at Challenger Elementary and my children! In one situation the school allowed a Police Officer to take my child off of the school premises without me even being notified! And I have a restraining order in place against my ex-husband! In a different situation my Son and another student were having problems outside of school and it had been brought into the school by the other child's parent and the Teacher singled out my child in front of the entire class. I have not always felt this way about Challenger Elementary. In the beginning I thought that Challenger Elementary was a GREAT School, and then I had some problems with Social Services because of my ex-husband and then suddenly the School Staff changed towards our entire Family! So since that happened I have definitely changed the way that I view Challenger.
