East Robertson Elementary is far by the best school my children have ever attended! At East they have strong principal, teacher and staff leadership and understanding which is great for the attention that the students need to thrive in class. They have wonderful communication / involvement with the parents / guardians about our children and welcome any questions or concerns that we might have. They listen and answer any suggestions that we might have to improve the quality of the school. They offer many opportunities to let us be involved with the school and children. All in all, they treat the parents as partners...not outsiders. Therefore, I KNOW they treat the children as though they were their own! Hats off... East Robertson Elementary Faculty and Staff!

The staff at this school is rude and unprofessional. I have 2 children at this school and they spend very little time actually in the classroom with their 'teacher.' The office staff is condescending and every week there is another note home that children need to send in supplies for the teachers or money for this or that. At the beginning of the year you have a list of supplies to bring in as well as a $25 'supply fee' with a note in all caps that this fee will cover all of their supply needs for the year, then immediately the weekly requests for money and supplies begins. My children have cried to me that the teachers give rewards and prizes to the kids that bring in supplies for them and that the teacher checks their packs every day for money and supplies, that she is so disappointed in them when there is not any in there. Shame on You for guilt tripping children.

I'm very impressed with this community and the faculty for East Robertson Elementary School. - One of the best I've ever worked in.

My daughter goes to East Robertson Elementary School, she has been there since 1st grade. She is in 5th grade now, this is her last year there. Our hearts break knowing that she won't be there anymore. The teacher's, pribncipal, and other staff members are what make the school #1. Everyone goes beyond there call of duty. We appreciate all that they do. Thanks for loving our children as much as we do, it means alot. You make the parents life so much easier by not having to worry about our kids, we know they're in good hands. We love everyone there!!! Thanks, Mike and Tammie Clark 10/28/2008

I give the school 10. I believe there is no better place to go to school. The principal along with the teachers and staff are wonderful. My child is in the 4th grade and will have on there in 3 years. I recommended this school to anyone. The school board is in the process of adding on and remodeling the school so don;t let the age of the school fool you.

I have a fourth grader at ERES and I could not be more pleased. The building is old but that only gives it a little more charm. I have not met a teacher that doesn't have our childrens best interest at heart. Mr. Stubblefield does an outstanding job as our principle. As a mom who volunteers on a regular basis, I have had the opportunity to meet and work with most everyone. I have a younger child who will begin kindergarten in 2009 and I am already excited about doing it all over again. I've never met a finer group of people striving to instill strong morals and Christian values to get our children started in life. I am proud to call these people my friends.

ERES is a small town. Everyone I meet has been nice.The school is very old and desperately needs to be improved. The air doesn't seem to work very well.So far my family seems to be satisfied with the education and staff. Trust me I am an over protctive mom and if my son goes to ERES than its a good school.

This year, Tennessee introduced two new exams in algebra II and English III, and those results are included on the GreatSchools profile as well. The Gateway/EOC exams are standards-based tests that measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined by the state of Tennessee. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.
