Three of my children attend this school and have since kindergarten. Parent involvenment is encouraged at the highest degree in the lower grades. The new principal can come off as abrupt but seems fair. I like this school and hope that they will continue to get parents and teachers together to help educate our children.

I am a grandparent raising two of my grand daughters and they have attended Rt66 since kindergarten they will be entering 5th and 6th grade this year and it is a wonderful school. The teachers are absolutely looking out for the best in each child . The teachers genuinely care and work with the parents in making sure each child is on target or communicate with the parent and child to find a solution to get the child on target. I have had a very good experience with this school and would highly recommend it.

I am extremely dissatisfied with this school, as well as with the district as a whole. Teachers are severely lacking in people skills, as is the new principal. She is rude, indifferent, and rarely cracks a smile. I agree with the previous poster who stated that parental involvement is not promoted.

My daughter has attend Rt. 66 since Kindergarten. She is now in 6th grade and has done extremely well. The majority of her teachers have been excellent. The current principal I think is very fair and works well with parents. My experience with her has been great.

The teachers are mostly great. The principal needs to be retaught or replaced. She is all about looking good rather than doing good.

There are 27 students in my daughter's 5th grade class. There have been severe lay-offs at this school despite the stimulus packages and the governor's commitment to increasing the education budget. It's a scramble to squeeze all the students into the available table spaces. Very frustrating! The teachers are fantastic and could even be better if not restricted by some very bizarre policies of the current principal.

I have been very unhappy with this school as well as the district itself. Parent involvement is not promoted here at this school.
