Washington Elementary School

The lady in the front office is rude, she is disorganized, and they take forever to help everyone issue. One day I was there just to fill out a form it took her 45 minutes to assist me. My son teacher Mrs Benati she was the worst teacher ever dealing with children with ADHD she was so cooky and snotty. She didnt seem to be working with him at all. She requested tutoring one time and one time she forgot about the tutoring i ask her what time the tutoring was and she never got to me. I think this needs emails for the teacher so the parents can keep in contact with the students and set up online accounts so parents can pay for lunches it will be so much easier that way. Some school systems my child attend are on paypams and parent-teacher meetings too but never one was offer either. This school is horrible i agree with the student as well if the student sees this school fail what you think others dont see the school failing JMO...

I'm a student from washington school and I've only read 3 reviews of my school. So far, my predictions were correct. I've seen a ton of kids misbehaving, on the ineligible list or not applying themselves to their education. This is a disgrace to Kearny because of its lack of discipline and respect for the educational system, People unfortunately don't see washington school this way. The students have a lack of respect to the school, the educational system and Kearny as well. If this keeps up, Washington School will be closed around 2015 or 2016. I might be a student but I deeply care about my school.

I agree. Children leave this school using a whole lot of slang language and not academically equipped for future schooling.

There is no way i would believe that washington school is a disgrace to kearny. This school has the finest teachers and the best administration that kearny has ever seen. Now with Mary costello this school has respect not only for the parents but the kids also have respect for people now. I wouldn't send my kids anywhere else. And if your child has a disipline problem maybe you should look at your parenting instead of the school. Kids are what us parents teach them it's the teachers who educate them. Washington school is the best!

This school is a disgrace to Kearny. Not only is it the worst academically, but the students there are not taught good discipline/behavior. My son who went there was wholly unprepared for high school.
