Flynn Park Elementary School

We have several children enrolled at Flynn Park and we feel so blessed to be a part of this school community. The teachers are enthusiastic about learning, and the principal is a huge supporter of positive reinforcement for all children. We really like the diverse community that defines Flynn Park, and we like the neighborhood feel of the school - both during school hours and after. Our kids, all different learning levels and strengths, are challenged and encouraged based upon their interests, strengths, and abilities. The teachers are willing to meet and discuss our concerns whenever we feel the need, and have always set our concerns at ease or have readily suggested solutions to our issues. WE LOVE OUR SCHOOL!

We have spent two years in the US and Flynn Park Elementary was one of the best thing that happened to us. We loved it. The principal is fantastic. She has an excellent way to equally encourage and motivate kids, teachers and parents.We loved the positive attitude and outstanding organizations. As a foreigner, my son was very shy at the beginning but thanks to the gifted teachers he became confident and happy in very short time. We also had excellent ESL teachers and thanks to their work my son gained a gift for his life, speaking a second language. Thank you Flynn Park!

We love Flynn Park! My 6th grader has been a student since kindergarden and has consistenly had high caliber teachers. It is also a very warm and welcoming community with families who are involved and committed to making the school environment the best for all students.

Our son started kindergarten this year and has been extremely happy. His academic progress and social awareness have really taken off in ways I can't believe. I don't know if this is a credit to the school or just the developmental stage he is in, but I have been quite surprised by his progress this year. I would love to see the school improve its one-to-one communication with parents. We seem to hear about potential issues way after the fact and feel as though we have very limited visability into what is really going on in the classroom. If you choose Flynn, be prepared to invest time and energy building your connections with the staff and other parents in order to give yourself a higher degree of confidence that you have an accurate idea of your child's performange and experience. Otherwise, you might feel slightly in the dark.

At Flynn Park my kids benefit from learning with a much more diverse student body than they'd have at the private schools we thought about. Standards and achievement levels are high, there are solid programs supporting both Gifted and special-needs kids, and the social atmosphere and 'school culture' are among the best I've heard of.

We are so happy at this neighborhood gem. I have two children attending and it gets better each year! What a gift to have staff that cares so much about all aspects of our children's lives!

I think Flynn Park is a great school. Flynn Park was the elementary school I attended as a child and now my son is there and he loves it. The staff as a whole will brighten your day.They will work twice as hard to make sure that your child will secede and believe that anything is possible. If you guys get this,thank you from the bottom of my heart. Ms. Sharp

i have loved Flynn Park all the 7 years my daughters have gone there. Consistantly, high standards, respect for students and adults, and a tenured teaching staff are some of the main reasons. Add to that a tight-knit community, a wide range of classes and cultures and excellent programs (like my 4th grader playing her recorder with the St. Louis Symphony) and you've got an education where my daughters have thrived.
