Alamance Elementary School

My son started kindergarden this year I believe this is one of the best schools I could of pick for him to attend. Mrs. Sanderson is his teacher this year I couldnt of ask for a better one. Ihavent had any problems so far. So if your thinking of moving in the area I believe you will be very pleased.

I have a son at Alamance Elemetary. He seems to like the school and I like the way that his Kindergarden teacher interacts with him. I have had a problem with the bullies at his school. I know that kids will be kids but there should be some type of discipline action taken pertaining to bullies. My son tells the teacher but sometimes it has no effect on them. May if they get the parents more involved it would help. If someone told me that my child was misbehaving then I would take the appropriate actions at home and would respect the actions that the scholl has decided. My son is starting to read and I am excited about that and he is learning. So other than the bullies I am satisfied with the school so far. We will have to see what the rest of the school year brings.

I have had and still have children that attend/ed Alamance and for the most part I have been satisfied with the teachers that they have had. In the 5-6 years that I have been at Alamance there has been quite a few principals that has come & gone and that seems to be a problem, since there is always a new set of rules to get used to with the new principal. I do not like the current principal that is there. I do like the fact that the changes that are made affects me & my children however parent input is never requested or suggested.

We have been at Alamance for 2 years. I have only great things to say about the teachers and staff. They have been very interactive with us as the parents and want to partner with us to give our children the best education. As a transplant from another state, you hear all of the bad things about NC public schools. We gave the system a chance and don't regret it.

We have been at Alamance Elementary for three years. We have been fortunate to have had a wonderful experience with my daughter's kindergarten and first grade years. However, the experience we have had with my son's 2, 3, and now 4 grade years have pushed us to explore all other options! We are disappointed in the skill and dedication of the upper grade teachers. I realize as a professional that the teachers have heavy expectations upon them, however if they do not even want to attempt at meeting parents and childrens educational expectations and respect, they should resign from the profession of teaching. A teacher has the power and influence to make an everlasting impression in the life of a child, and I expect my childrens' teachers to make a positive influence in their lives. We will not be returning to this school next year...

Alamance does not deal with bullies. My son is being bullied all the time. It makes for a performance from him in his school work. Yet when he tells a teacher or another authority figure they shun him because of his adhd disorder. He could do much better if he didn't have to watch his back and know that the teachers don't care about him. I have fought for him many times it affects our home lives as well. Personally if I knew everyday someone was picking on me or bulling me I wouldn't want to come to school or do my work either. Knowing no one cares.
