This is an outstanding school. We moved here last year, and we are very happy with the program at Sharon Elementary. The teachers are caring and energetic. The principal is highly effective and repsponsive to our concerns. Our kids love this school.
we have just pulled our daughter who is in kindergarten out of this school. They allowed my child to walk outside of the school unattended and yet tried to blame her for it when she did what she was told to do. Now they hold her hand and only hers everywhere she goes because they say she wonders, yet I have never had an issue with that. The staff there is great but the principal is very undermining and primitive when she has spoken with us. She grabbed my daughter by the arm in one dealing when she first started school and took her from us and lead her to class while my daughter was kicking and screaming. No one has done anything about this and yet I have been as high as Peter Gorman. The only thing we were told was that there was a problem with us (parents) and that we were not allowed to walk our daughter to class anymore. I have gotten not one phone call for bad behavior and all praises from her class and report card but yet she wonders but that only came up after we filled a police report of child neglect against the school
Teachers and principal are great. Students are great. Parent participation is tremendous.
Sharon has great teacher that lead the children to be model citizens with good manners and behavior.
I have dealt with Sharon in several different ways for the past few years. The staff is outstanding, and the care they have for all of the students is felt throughout the school. I have never been in a school with more a more sincere group of teachers. They care about each other and spend time getting to know each other as well as their students. When you walk in and you are welcomed to the 'Sharon Family,' you really are welcomed to a special new family. Every school has its cliques and parents that feel they are the 'elite,' but the staff tries to keep this to a minimum and definitely keeps it out of the classrooms. I love walking into a classroom and seeing students of all levels and walks of life working together in harmony. It makes you feel so welcome!
I have friends who moved just to be closer to Sharon! It truly is a great school!
Sharon is a great school. It encourages creativity and challenges its students. The school provides numerous extracurricular activities including a very active choir, Odyssey of the Mind teams, and clubs. Each grade presents one full production each year. These are full fledged musicals with costumes, choreography and singing to rival any professional company. If your child is a think-outside of the box kind of kid, consider Sharon.
