This is a great public school in a system that doesn;t have very many good schools. The neighborhood and surrounding community are very safe and stable and the parental involvment is great.

As a grandparent of 2 students at Sea Isle, each time I attend the school for various events, I am impressed by all teachers and ethics learned.

As my oldest child entered kindergarten this year, we are new to Sea Isle but I am already very impressed. Dr. Evans and Ms. Poole are doing a wonderful job steering the ship, and the teachers and fellow parents have been wonderful. The parental involvement is outstanding, and it's great to see the school engaging parents and the community for the betterment of our children. My daughter loves Sea Isle and is blossoming, and we look forward to many wonderful years at this great school.

I have one child that just graduated the Preschool program at Sea Isle Elementary. The teaching and administration staff seem very dedicated to each child's success. The environment at Sea Isle is very warm and positive. A great place for learning. 5 Stars.

I have a child who attends Sea Isle and both he and we(the parents) love it. The teachers- excellent. The staff- supportive and professional. The administration- second to none. The outstanding educational program is a great foundation for the continued learning of children. Never before had I seen, or heard of, the ratio of student teachers to classrooms. Sea Isle had a student teacher, in an accreditted teaching program, in every class along with the classroom teachers. Dr. Evans, the principal, is amazing; she greets children individually every morning and knows them personally. The PTO at Sea Isle has a very high involvement with the school and almost every child's parent is involved in some fashion. Overall an outstanding school- we are looking forward to our youngest beginning school here next year!

This is my daughter's first year at Sea Isle. It came highly recommended by her preschool teacher. I am so impressed. I met the principal and some of the staff this summer and felt such warmth from them. My daughter knew a lot coming in and Ms. K. Williams has increased her knowledge even more. Ms. Porter is a model for all administrators in the district. That is why she trains future principals in the New Leaders program. Parents are always welcomed there. It is very diverse and the teachers show no favoritism. It is a great school and leader among leaders. My child is learning to sail by excelling!

We loved Sea Isle. We just moved out of state and it makes me sad to know we will not be attending Sea Isle this fall. Ms Porter is wonderful and the kids love her. Ms Williams is a great kindergarten teacher and Mrs Baldridge is a caring teacher who loves her class as if they were her own. She is an amazing teacher. We miss Sea Isle very much. Amanda West

My son will be attending his 3rd year at Sea Isle this year. We have total faith in the teachers and principal. They really live up to their motto: Children learn to sail by excelling! My son loves school and can't wait to go back every year. -Jacksons

My child is a fourth grader. She has had an excellent set of teachers from K-4. Mrs. Porter sets the tune for the environment and parents feel welcomed in the school. Sea Isle is a model school! They have some outstanding teacher that keep the expectations high for all students.

Sea Isle is a great school. There is a wonderful support system of parents and the community. The faculty and administration have worked hard to establish a solid reputation for ensuring that each student has every opportunity to learn.

Posted January 9, 2004

I have the second of my 4 children in school here now, and I love the school. Ms. Porter is the most caring and compassionate person, and she goes out of her way to acknowledge each child and make them feel like family. I look forward to my other two children going there when they reach school age because of the quality of education I know they will receive.
