I have two children at ZES. The teachers are great. My children love it. And it is not very often that you see a principal working the carpool line who knows every child by name. Great place to have fun learning.
My children have been in 3 elementary schools in the area and this our favorite. The electives that are offered are very interesting for the children and they love being able to have some say in what classes they take. Wake Co. Schools now allows parents some choice in which school your children attend...but we won't be making a change. We love the school. The teachers are qualified and the administration is attentive and response.
I currently have 4 kids at ZES and I love it there. The teachers have all been so wonderful and supportive. There is a true compassion for the students that goes beyond the classroom. With 4 kids, I have had lots of teachers I have been in contact with. All of them are top-notch! Since it is a magnet school, there are also many electives available that would not normally be experienced by many elementary aged kids. My children have really flurished at this school and I would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. The staff is very helpful and friendly. The administration is right on track with the latest in teaching practices and keeps the staff up to date. Very friendly faces, warm and welcoming enviroment, and most importantly, my kids love going to school there. Yes, there are many other school choices available in a very close proximity, but I wouldn't change a thing! ZES is a great place for those growing young minds!
My daughter is in her second year here. She is very happy! The teachers she has had are great. Very communicative with parents, very big on students taking personal responsibility. A lot of focus on character traits & what they mean & encouraging them by rewarding them. Spectacular enrichment programs. My daughter has had Spanish, gymnastics, newspaper, & anatomy. This semester she is in theatre production and is thrilled.
