Snyder Elementary School

Bottom line, this is an outstanding school! I have three children enrolled, all the staff are dedicated individuals.

I have been very pleased with the Snyder schools thus far. My son is now in 1st grade and his teachers have been outstanding up until this point. I find them to be very caring and look at the child as an individual. I think that they also have a high academic standards as well. I feel they are doing a great job at preparing my child for all these required tests that they will be taking in the future. Keep up the great work Snyder Elementary.

I have two children in this school and feel the teachers (not all of them) are there for a paycheck and the summers off, not teaching our kids. They need to go back to the way we all learned how to read, one word at a time, not the sounds and blends. Teachers who care is what they need.

This will be my son's first year in this school. In our initial contacts with the school, we have found every person we have spoken with to be courteous and helpful.They have helped us compare this school with others in our area (they're the best), told us what we'll need to bring for the guidance counselor interview, scheduled the interview, and assisted us with other information (bus schedules, holidays, homework policies, how absences are handled, etc. Our initial experience with this school has been a very good one and this sets our mind at ease.

This school gets a bad grade for many reasons! They overreact to the smallest situation. Example: a child pretending he had a sword during recess was suspended. Children at this school apparently aren't allowed to have imaginations. Many of the teachers seem to have a general dislike of children and act as if they should be seen and not heard. If a child is spirited they automatically want them diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. They use a pod system, 4 classes to one room and wonder why kids are distracted. They use the phonics system for learning to read which several school districts have stopped using because they realised it doesn't work! Most of the staff are generally unpleasent and rude.

I think Snyder Elementary is a wonderful school. I now have three children enrolled, and I am amazed at what they are being taught. Every day they have new and exciting things to show my us in their school folders. I am especially impressed with the organizational skills being taught, even to our 1st grader. The teachers do a fabulaous job of teaching the students to use school and community resources, making them confident and self-sufficient.

This school needs alot of help for those teachers who know nothing about children with ADHD and they need to learn how to deal with them in good responsible manners not treating them bad or throwing them out of school. lets hope this school year is better.
