Pataskala Elementary School

I have had two children attend Pataskala Elem. and it has been a wonderful experience. I have a child who has struggled academicaly and has an LD and I have a child who excells and is a straight A student. Both have had wonderufl experiences. I can't imagine a better experience anywhere else. Of course there have been a few issues over the years but problems are corrected and addressed quickly. I love my school!

It is difficult anytime you see that your child is struggling in school. My daughter has ADHD and Dislexia. We were called in for a teacher conference within the first month of Kindergarten because Mrs. O'Bryan was concerned. They put her directly into intervention. Her advances were incredible. First grade was also a challenge. We wondered if our child would ever read. We continued requesting monthly meetings. Mrs. Ashcraft is a asset that every parent should utilize if you are concerned. She took a special interest in our daughter..She tutored her over the summer and took special classes to teach our daughter with a vision tracking problem. Second and Third grade have been remarkable. Mrs. Pickering, Mrs. Moore, Mrs. Thacker, and Mrs. Conner are all amazing. The key to education is making sure that the student and teacher are a good match. Pataskala Elementary has done a great job of pairing.

As a parent of a son with Aspergers I was thrilled to have him attend Pataskala. All of the staff and teachers were awesome and a joy to work with. They made him feel welcome and part of the Pataskala family. He excelled intellectually and socially.

As a parent of a child struggling with issues related to ADHD I am happy to say that I am very satisfied with the teachers and staff at Pataskala. They have embraced my son, making him feel good about school again. We came from a school where the teacher singled him out for his differences and allowed the other students to do that as well. the teachers have been very patient with him, while setting clear expectations. They work closely with my husband and I-communicating daily when necessary. Whenever a concern has been addressed, there was immediate follow thru on every level. The gifted program is the highlight of his week, and yet he loves both school programs. Way to go Pataskala! You deserve high marks!

The teachers at Pataskala Elementary are wonderful. I think my children have gotten a great education. The staff is very friendly; aswell as, the principal. Whenever I enter the building I feel welcomed and in a positive environment. This year I have worked closely with the fourth grade staff and am pleased with my child's school year. Great School!!!

I rate this schoola three because of the average learning environment. Thank you for reading my thoughts.

My child attended Pataskala elem. for four years and still the staff did not know my chid by name. Although there are some good teachers there I am glad to be out of the school district! Some of the teachers are so set in their ways that it hurts many of the children with learning disabilities.
