Strong leadership and excellent teachers make this one of the best elementary schools in Union County!!

This school is absolutely horrible. I believe that in order for children to succeed, parents and teachers must be on the same page. This is never the case at this school. I never receive a reply back from either of my children's teachers when I call or write them. Those teachers truly are there for the paycheck only.

Well I am totally disgusted by this school,if you want to say this is even a school,I consider it more a prison.The teachers are constantly putting kids down and the principal, well she judges and discriminates against children and thinks they are worthless.My daughter was denied AIG even though she tests at a 6th grade level and is only in 4th grade.My son was denied a proper education and came home upset most days because teachers were bullying him.Punnishment is very common at this school.So I am glad all of my children are out of there.

We've been at Poplin since it opened two years ago, and have been nothing but impressed and delighted by our experience. Currently, there are 5 kindergarten classes. All of the teachers are good, but two of them are out of this world. We've also been really impressed with the 1st and 2nd grade teachers. The special interest subjects offered each week include art, computers, Spanish, music, and PE. (The art teacher is one of the best I've encountered.) The speech therapists also do a wonderful job, if your child needs those services. Ms. McManus, our principal, does a fantastic job. So far, we could not be happier--best elementary school in eastern Union County.
