Polo Road Elementary School

Possibly the best school in Columbia, SC and should be rated as one of the best in SC. Gifted group of teachers and administrators that go out of their way to educate children attending their school. They are also heavily engaged in fund raising activities that show in the modern and continuously updated automation and facilities. Proud to have my sons go there and even prouder to recieve the level of education they are recieving there.

This school is a school that is working hard to help students make a better future.

A really great school... but is a school song necessary? ( Student of Polo Road speaking here- we even have to put our right hand on our heart when we are singing the school song.) :(

Polo Road Elementary is an excellent school. The teachers and staff encourage the children to excel. If there is ever a question or concern the staff will make every effort to get an answer. The teachers highly encourage parent involvement in all the activities. If you ever have a problem, get involved and be part of the solution! My daughter went for Kindergarten and will be going for the first half of First grade. I wish we could stay through to Fifth grade but the military won't let us.

I love Polo Road! The teachers really treated me with courtesy and respect, they said' good morning to my children every day and I felt that my kids were truly safe there. Even the kids respected other kids. That was very important to me, because I have a special needs child. Unfortunately, due to orders, we will not be returning next year, but I cried myself on the last day of school. Also, they really cared about my children's academic needs and made communication with me very easily.I know you will enjoy this school as much as we have!
