The faculty is awesome and they handle & teach the children the way a school should..Very refreshing!!

Some of the greatest, brightest, kids go there, with a loving staff and dedicated parents. (and visa-versa)

Popps Ferry is a school on the move. It's an older school (1962) but the approach to teaching is fresh. The principal is awesome leader. Our PTO is small but strong.

My son has attended Popp's Ferry Elementary from Kindergarten through 5th grade. This will be his final year as they no longer have grade 6. We have had several administrative changes, which I think made it hard on the kids at times, especially as the initial administration were so beloved to kids and parents alike, however, we do have a very good, well-organized admin. staff now. Overall, I think he has been blessed with wonderful teachers. All of them, including those he has for 'specials,' are gifted in their own way. There are a few who made such an impression he will remember them always. I think (though he doesn't realize it now) it will be very sad for him to say goodbye to Popp's Ferry at the end of this school year. I would recommend this school without hesitation to other parents.h

My child just started Popps Ferry after transferring from another coast school district after we moved. I had been having concerns about my child at the other school and without having to say a word my childs teacher at Popps Ferry picked up on them immediately where at the other school I could not get any help. Her teacher has gone out of her way on more then one occation and has been wonderful about communication. The school is great about extra activities with the family and kids which I love, (such as the Chili Cook-Off). I have watched my daughter make so much progress since coming to this school in the last couple of months and am so thankful to her teacher for going the extra mile.

Popp's Ferry is a great school with a wonderful family atmosphere and strong leadership. Discipline is consistent, fair and child-centered. The faculty is caring and capable, and work hard to teach every child. Parents are strongly encouraged to actively participate in their child's education. Students are challenged to do their best at all times.

My son is from a foreign country and is naturally introverted. Within a week he came out of his shell and actually loves going to school. His English skills have improved dramatically.

The school would greatly benefit from more cooperation between parents and teachers.
