Robert L Forbuss Elementary School

They told me to withdraw my child from her school and come with the paperwork to their school. So I did, just to find out there's no more enrollment available, and they gave me a pamphlet (printed and readily available on the desk) sending us to some far away school. With "apologies" of course. I relocated in this area because of the school, and because I needed a school that is close bye. The school they tried to forward us to is very far, and not very good. What is the purpose of paying a higher rent in a good area to benefit of the school, if your kids end up in a school in a bad area? This is ridiculous, and all the money and time I spent to arrange things in a convenient way with this relocation went down the drain.

I have been so happy with this school. We moved here to Las Vegas from a small town in another state, and I was actually very nervous about putting my precious children in school here.... but it has been WONDERFUL!!!! The principal, Mr. Paquette is just the best, along with many of the teachers... Mrs. Kramar, Miss Kettl, Mr. Preston, just to name a few. I have noticed that when there is a teacher there that is less than stellar, they are gone the next year. I love that! I highly recommend Forbuss.

EXCELLENT Teachers and a FANTASTIC Principal. Our daughter has been going here since she started school and Loves School and Loves her Teachers. I would have to say that Mr. Paquett (the Principal) is one of the most outstanding educators I've met in Las Vegas and I've met quite a few over the years in my business. Being a real estate agent... I'm all over Las Vegas and hear multiple complaints about other schools.... You won't hear any from the parents whose children go to Forbuss. Parents are very active... events at the school are well attended showing that the parents care. The teachers are very enthusiastic and you can tell they really do care which is so important.... We would not even think about having our daughter go to another Elementary school in Las Vegas. Great Job Mr. Paquette!

My children have gone to Forbuss since the doors first opened. I have to say, comparing this elementary school to the others in the southwest part of Vegas.... It is Above and Beyond what any parent could and would want for a child that is entering our Las Vegas Education System... Being raised here in Vegas and going to several schools here myself, it makes me jealous of their education opportunities at this school. From learning the use of computers in kindergarten, to making sure that the 'NO CHILD LEFT BEHIND' is what every parent can look forward too. That being if your child is not where he/ she needs to be in academics, they will get the help... Love this School and so do my children and their classmates..

All my friends are so nice! The teachers are nice too. Especially Mrs. Slater and Miss. Schnurpel!

My grandchildren goes to Forbuss Elementary. I love this school. The principal is a terrific roll model for other principals. He is the first one I ever met that comes out and interact with parents. Asking questions and following up with the answers. He goes outside and participate with his student in all functioins Forbuss Elementary School has. Great Job Mr. Paquett. Mahalo for a job well done.

My kids and I love this school. I have a first and fifth grader there and they both love their teachers and principal. The principal is great! There has not been a day that I have not seen him out interacting with the students and parents. He always has a smile on his face. The parent action committee is very involved with school fund raisers and planning fun events for the students. I would recommend this school over and over again!

I cannot say enough about this school. The STAFF is GREAT. The Principal loves his job and it shows. I have never in all my life seen a principal so involved, its not uncommon to see him ushering traffic and pickin up garbagge on the play ground. I wanna cry just thinking that theres hope in our public school system and a staff who "really" care. Forbuss is the BEST school in my book!

My daughter that is in the 1st grade goes to Forbuss. I absolutely love this school. I trust that she is the best care when I drop her off at school. I am extremely happy with the Principle, Teachers and the rest of the Staff.
