Old Settlers Elementary School

My child is in 2nd grade at OSE. He's gone there since kindergarten and we love it. The teachers are so wonderful and personable. This year I found out that they even have a tutoring program free of charge if your child starts falling a little behind on anything. I like the PTA and really have a sense of community w/ this school. I'm very happy we moved here.

I have two kids at Old Settlers and cannot say enough good things about this school. The teacher and parent involvement is top notch. All the teachers my kids have had have been wonderful - especially Mrs. Bransford and Mrs. Wurst. I do think the principal could be more involved and the front office staff needs to perk up a little but all in all this is a great school.

Old Settlers is a great school. Both of my children currently attend, and we have been delighted with the teachers they have had. My daughter had Mrs. Robison last year and she is truly amazing. She went above and beyond for my child, and made every day a fun and authentic learning experience. The office staff is friendly and never hesitates to help visitors. My only criticism concerns the temperature limits set for going outside. I assume this may be a district policy, but there are days that the kids go out for recess and it is entirely too cold. Overall, Old Settlers is a great school!

Wonderful Staff and Parents. Couldn't ask for a better place for my children to have attended elementary school.

I sent my son to this school 12 years ago and it was great... Only had one Teacher I was not Happy With. I now have my daughter in Ther and do not like how it is all about the Task Test. This seems to really take away the creativity in teaching... there seems to be more of a want for the funding from the sate then having individual Teaching from the staff. The office staff is Very Rude and Acts like you are a Burden on Them when you Walk into The Office.... you have to ask for the help and if they are not on personal calls or just talking amoungest themselves you might get help without attitude. I will not be sending my daughter back because of the way they only teach the Task Test. I want more for my daughter!!!

I have had three children attend Old Settlers. One of my children is Special Needs. The staff and teachers have done a wonderful job with my child. It has made it easier for him to fit in.

Very dedicated teachers and staff. To me the most impressive thing is the kids themselves, they really look out for each other and get excited about community projects.

Good school. Teachers have been great. Have seen many negative changes in morale and a general climate change amongst the teachers and parents since new leadership has taken over. The office staff is VERY rude and as unhelpful as they come. I think we will see further decline in the school's atmosphere until the current leadership changes. But despite the changes, parent support is great and the teachers are working with the parents. That is always a plus.

OSE is a top notch school. The teachers are very dedicated and some of the hardest working and caring I've experienced. The office staff is warm and friendly and I personally feel very good about my student's safety because they are very careful about letting people in the building to roam- including parents.
