Penn Elementary School

Posted August 27, 2009

Very dissapointed in the academic's of penn elementary. It lacks an enviroment for learning with it's poor leadership, communication and structure. Any communication that did occurr was always initiated by the parent. When followup did occurr it was not done in a timely manner. If concerns were addressed and your view was different than that of the schools, be prepared for a roller coaster ride. Our student has been removed from this environment by the recommendations of professionals from several departments. Too all parents - speak up for your child, you know your child best.

Staff is very friendly and welcoming, but academics leave something to be desired. My child is not learning the academic concepts I would expect and we have to work more at home to compensate for what is not being presented in school. Classroom is sparse and students have more free time than structured learning experiences. Lack of communication from teacher and there is very little follow through. Toys are allowed at school and present a distraction to academics, in my opinion. School is lacking in visual appeal and there needs to be more student work displayed in the hallway. My child really enjoys attending school here, but I definitely would like to see more of an academic focus. Due to the competitiveness of employment within the ICCSD, I would have expected a lot more from Penn Elementary School.

I'm really surprised that anyone would rate Penn lower than a 5. We have two children in Penn and we are very pleased with the teaching and administrative staff. They are excellent!
