I have two daughters at White River and cannot say enough great things about the school . The staff is so warm, friendly and caring. The teachers are fantastic and really seem to enjoy what they are doing. The 'specials' teachers for gym, art, and music are top notch and make those classes so much fun for the kids. They put on a program at the end of each year to give the children a chance to show off to the parents all they have learned throughout the year. My girls look forward to attending school each day and cry at the end of the year because they are sad it is over. We are proud to have our children at White River!
I don't really think there is an ' in crowd' in an elementary school....especially as far as the parents go. My son has done very well at this school, although he is very well behaved ( at least at school anyway). His teacher is wonderful and communicates great with the parents. If I have a question I'll send her an e-mail and I always get a prompt reply. Obviously not everyone is going to have the same experience at a particular school but if your child is well behaved clearly that makes for a better experience for the parents, child, teachers, and staff. Therefore our opinions of the school are certainly biased, even mine.
My son is in 4th grade and finishing his final year there, and all I can say is thank goodness. I read the previous reviews, and I guess it's a 'who you know' school because the teachers there are really not that warm and friendly. I am not part of the 'in' crowd, so it was a different experience for me. As far as professionaly, the teachers lack communication with the parents as far as homework, projects etc and I felt like my son was a burden to them. Be equipped with ESP. My son is a very active child, always outside playing and not on video games so he has a lot of energy. Beware, the minute your child shows this active personality they will bring up having your child tested for ADHD etc. I think they need to hire staff that is more equipped to deal with every type.
A wonderful school. Great staff overall. We are very pleased with the help our son has been given. The special needs department is awesome!
