When I moved my children from North Carolina to Missouri, I knew the qaulity of education would dip somewhat. I did not expect it to plummet. I found the qaulity of materials, and instruction to be below par. This is a school that still uses hooked on phonics?! If you have any choice what so ever do not send your child to Elsberry. They were in that school less than a month before I got them out of there, FAST.
This is our fisrt year in the district and it has not been a positive experience. I have two children. One of the teachers is condesending and rude to myself and her students. It is a known problem, yet nothing has been done to my knowledge. Both of my children are experiencing academic problems where they never have before. I am hopeful that these can be ironed out, but though I have spoken with teachers, they have provided little more than advise. What I mean here is that I was looking for ways the teachers and I could work together to help my children. Possibly our problem is an adjustment problem. Only time will tell. We do loke the overall atmosphere and student body. We remain optimistic.
I can't imagine why the parent below would downgrade this school. We moved here 6 years ago and the PAT program and schools have been excellent. If your involved at all with the school and your children, then they will have no problem flourishing here. The teachers are excellent.
