- Parent involvement
The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.
New hires are hit and miss. Staff before new principal is fantastic- seasoned, but with fresh ideas and dependable. Newer staff does not, in general, have enough guidance.
Though the student population is increasing teachers really care about their students and work hard to to make learning fun. The parent community is very supportive and provides for many areas of enrichment.
Love the school. Highly involved parent body. Kind teachers in a small school enviroment. Being updated and added onto to make room for the large growth in the community.
I am quite pleased with Washington Ave. It has a small school feel and tries to maintain fairly high levels of instruction. I have found teachers to be very receptive to parental involvement. The PTO is extremely active in many aspects of the school. Third graders have access to a strings program. The computer lab is fairly up-to-date and children have ready access to it. Organized sports are not available within the school, but readily available in the town's recreation program. The art and music programs have been scaled back, but are very good. The PTO supplements with 'Art in the Classroom' programs. Overall, I think Washington Ave. is a great elementary school.
