Theodore Roosevelt Elementary School

Posted July 2, 2008

My step son graduated from Roosevelt about 7 years ago and his little brother has been attending for 2 years now. We loved the school then and we still do now. His first year was wonderful and we had no problems...his second year I started to see a little more clearly. His teacher was still good but not as great and I realized the school was very picky about who could be in it. It is very hard to be able to help in your child's class and his teacher did not communicate with the parents. It almost felt like you were trying to join a 'click' of parents. But they have lots of activities after school compared to the other elementary schools. I do think it is the best one in Burbank.

I moved to the neighborhood because it was very near a school and we wanted to have kids someday. I don't know how the stars aligned to put me so near the perfect school for us. Teachers are accessible and supportive and differentiate to address specific students' needs. Betsy Quinn is an energetic and supportive principal. Office staff is top notch and the school is an amazing environment overall. When I've had the need to contact teachers or the principal about concerns over the years I've gotten quick, beneficial feedback. Problems are solved, not swept under the carpet. I'm extremely happy with this school. The after school Science program is especially compelling.

My grandson lives with me and I must say that Roosevelt reminds me of the quality of schooling my daughters received when they were young. The teachers have been great. They are caring and supportive of both the child and parent. Activities to raise school pride have been successful. My grandson is proud to be a student at Roosevelt and I could not ask for a better school for him.

I currently have two children at Roosevelt and it is absolutely a wonderful school. Principal Betsy Quinn is great and works so much with the teachers and parents to help all of our children. The parents here at Roosevelt are so involved with the school and the children. It is so wonderful to see how much involvement there is with the parents.
