I have been nothing but impressed with the quality education and amazing teacher and administrator support my daughter has received at Rees Elementary. What an excellent learning environment this school has provided for my child, who has been attending Rees from 2nd through 4th grade!

My son and daughter attend Rees and for the most part they do enjoy going. My is now in first grade and during her time at Rees she has been fortunate to have 3 awesome teachers who really love what they do and it shows everyday and if they are having a bad day you would never know it. One of the teachers from her pre-k year has moved on to another school but where ever she is they are lucky to have her. The bridge teachers, the behavioral interventionist, the math interventionist, and the assistant principal Mrs.Harper is truly a blessing and without her and the teachers I have encountered I would give Rees 5 stars but instead it would be 3.

yes, fleem rees elementary school is one of the best you can ever find any where in the wolrd. i arrived at this conclution as a frequent traveller, havce been to europe canada and american but yet to see the school that will compete vavourably with fleem rees on the same gradelevel.the teacher are just too good and atticulate .i was there to see my children last year /early this year and was impress about meetins held with there teachers.especially when i have to advise the school to always invite parents every forthnight to lecture us on the new ways and new subject they teach students , so that we the parents will not look stupid when are children comes home to do there home work .so that we could be able to assist them and not misleading them with our own old idears of working out maths.

I have had 2 daughters attend Rees from K on. They both received an excellent education. They were very fortunate to have very dedicated teachers. Only 2 of all those were not excellent. Those two left the next year. Even though the principal and assistant principal have changed, the teachers continue to do a great job. This last year, with a new apartment complex being finished, the discipline has had many challenges, but the overall tone of the school still seems controlled. I am very glad my children have went to school there.
