I have a son in kindergarten. I have been very please with his teacher this year. He is learning SO much! When I drop him I off feel safe in leaving him and for me that is a major plus.

my daughter is in the 5th grade. She has some delays that make it necessary for her to spend part of her day in a self-contained classroom. I have been so pleased with her teacher, Mrs. Sutton - as well as the staff. They all treat my daughter with respect, expect the best from her, and correct her when she's wrong.

This is a really great school I have three boys who attends banks, and my oldest is leaving this year. My daughter will be attending this fall. I have really enjoyed the techers that my boys have had over the years. Whenever I needed help they showed my ways that I could help them at home.

This school would rank at the bottom of my list of choices. I am also 36 and attended Banks, as well as my two sons (for the first two years and then I transferred them). Their teachers blamed their ineffective teaching abilities on my sons, as well as diagnosing them with ADHD. After professional evaluation, neither had ADHD or anything near it (according to the doctor). The doctor was also familiar with this school. In short, be very careful and highly cautious with the faculty.

I am 36 and I attended Banks. So did my 25 yr. old sister, my 13 yr. old daughter and now my 5 yr. old son. Next yr. my youngest will be starting Kindergarden and it will be @ Banks! The best school ever!Caring teachers and a very caring and involved principal. If I ever need help with something going on at Banks it is always quickly and very professionally.

My son attended this shchool for 5 years, and my daughter is still attending. This is her 3 year, I have been extreamly happy with both of their teachers. I have always been made a part of their education process. I am always told what is going on with my child good and not so good. I am lucky enough to have been room mom most of these years, and so I have worked 1 on 1 with some of these teachers, we love the music, art computer programs. They have wonderful and loving teachers. The PE teacher is great. Most of all the counsler is a very caring lady. I am very happy with this school.

My son attended banks foe about 3 months, and I really hated, and so did he. The people were not very caring, and it was always a problem to be getting involved in my childs learning. I repeatedly asked to be notified of what i could do to help him reach the level he needed to be at, and all I ever recieved was letters of him not making it. The people at this school were to into their own world for me and my son. So thanks but no thanks.
