Bruce Shulkey Elementary School

The principal and counselor of this school over shadow the wonderful teachers here, unfortunately. Both of my children have health problems that if not properly dealt with, they will miss school. Both are preventable, but there is lack of help on their end. My youngest has severe asthma and when not controlled, it will flare and turn into bronchitis and he will miss. The principal withdrew him for missing, and once I received his medication, his inhaler was never used, and his nebulizer meds only had TWO used, meaning they were not giving him his meds when needed, causing his asthma to flare, resulting in more missed days. My oldest has a learning disability and I tried tooth and nail to get them to do a 504 on her, even my written request was ignored. I have since pulled her, and now homeschool both. On top of all of this, the principal once yelled and screamed in my face, in front of all 3 of my children about their absences, which they had dr notes for and would have been prevented had they allowed proper hydration and bathroom breaks for my oldest, simply given my youngest his asthma medications. I think this could be a wonderful school, if not for the witch of a principal.

This school has wonderful teachers and the Principal & VP are great. The school counselor & nurse have been a problem for some. My children love this school. They have a lot of programs and activities. The parent involvement is not so great. We have the same parents volunteering over & over again. This school would be awesome if we had better parenting among our children.

We just enrolled our child into kindergarten and this school is already a disappointment. My child's teacher seems overwhelmed and when we asked about their educational goals for the year, she seemed irritated that we even asked. I called the principal about another matter and she was not at all helpful. This experience has already put a bad taste in my mouth about this school.

The parent involvement is high and most of the teachers are great!The principal knows a lot of these children by name and is very involved with them.She stops to take the time to get to know these children as do most of the teachers.It's a tight knit family like community.We are proud to have our child attending this school.

I have had FOUR children in this elementary school. The first two received an excellent education, the second two are falling through the cracks... due to the current administration. The parent involvement at this school is very high, but the parents have been unable to effect any changes in some of the administrative decisions.
