Polk Street School is a great school! I have one son who graduated and another currently attending the school and they both did great. The staff, facility and PTA are outstanding!

This school was a very good school and a very safe environment for my son. he is graduating this year and already said he will miss it so much. most of the teachers are wonderful. as far as there being clicks in the school - i do agree with that... but... i do believe you will find that in every school and every day life. for the most part this school, the teachers and the children were absolutely great. and... we will miss it very very much! :0)

My daughter loves going to everyday .....being in 3rd grade and had a bad experience with some kids ..but she is just a smart child (experienced some jealously frm others) and knows who too ignore........This school is to very clicky with all if the PTA moms and just alot of the moms in general.....noone wants to accept someone new unles they are like them......All of these things I am making sure my child accepts all .......she gets it ...thank goodness..... The vice- prin is the best...

I have no complaints! The class sizes are reasonable, the teachers are top notch, and the new principal, Miss Hunt is great! My daughters are so happy! Happy children = happy parents. Polk Street gets an A+ from me.
