My son has attended kindergarten there and it was great. Now he is in 1st grade. It's a catastrophe. The class size went from 15 students to 30 students with the second grade (also 30 kids) in an adjacent room with an opening. My son went from loving to hating school. Within two weeks he and the peers at his table went into time out three times. This is because the teacher is overwhelmed. I don't understand why the school is not allowed to hire another teacher.
Both of my sons have attended Van Horne, and I have been very pleased with the school. The principal has been wonderful, especially in helping with a bullying problem we had. I have loved the very active parent involvement. The PTO is very active, and organizes many excellent events for the whole family. Both of my kids have thrived at this school.
This school is amazing! The leadership there is wonderful. Both of my children attend this school and we are in under open enrollment. I drive 25 minutes each way just so they can come here. They really do care not just about the child but the whole family. The office staff and the nurses are loving and attentive. I would highly recommend this school to anyone.
The principal has been at Van Horne for two years and has recruited exceptional teachers during his tenure all of whom go way beyond the call of duty. Our son's teacher has taken the time to know everything about how our son learns. She has created a classroom environment that is calm, inviting and fun. Our interactions with other staff members has always been very satisfying, this includes the office staff, exceptional education staff, the crossing guards, and the nursing staff. The after school program is also wonderful and is run by the Ott YMCA. Parents are involved and there are many school activities that include families such as family movie night.
