Stiles Point is a wonderful neighborhood school where the children are safe, well cared for, nurtured, and taught using creative, hands-on methods by the teachers. The school has a warm and welcoming feeling and everyone from the office staff, teachers, day porter, and principal are very friendly. I am impressed by the student work displayed in the halls and the fact that all students always appear to be actively engaged in the classrooms. Stiles Point reminds me of the elementary school I attended as a child. Wonderful school!

This school is managed by the parents and teachers. The principal is lacking in communication skills and needs to be more approachable. The school has strong teachers here. There are a few special area teachers who need to be weeded out but other than that, the teachers here work hard. The principal has been there too long and just needs to give someone else a turn. His time is up, and it shows. He does not know the children at all. If I walked up to him with my child and asked him to tell me her name...he would not have a clue!!
