Washington Park Elementary School

I think Washington Park is a wonderful school. The principal is very friendly and is willing to answer any questions you may have at ANY time. The teachers are always smiling. One thing I do not like is their AIG program is pitiful.

W.P.S. is a great school and the staff strives to provide the best education available through new technology equipment and literature. The staff encourages each child to set goals and willing to extend additional help for those who need it to achieve accordingly. At Washington Park Elementary there are many opportunities to get involved all you have to do is make yourself available. Parental Involvement through the PTA has been amazing this year. 'Hats off to each of you'. Congratulations for receiving the 'Blue Key Award' from the North Carolina PTA.

Both my sons attended this school. Overall we were very happy. However, I have found this school not to be very personal and caters to a select group of parents, as does the rest of the county. We have never felt a part of this school. Most teachers do not have a genuine concern for students. The principal is very head strong, firm, yet at times not receptive to parents. Mrs. Hoover, Mrs. Jorgenson, Mrs. Shapiro, Mrs. McCall, Mrs. Massey, and Mrs. Quick are the best. This school is making strong strides in academics, but some children are still slipping through the cracks. The entire school system is very impersonable and difficult to get along with. We work very hard with our children to get them where they are, with select support from teachers.
