A A Milne Elementary School

This school used to be much better when the old principal, Mr. Crooks was there. Under his leadership, this school had an exemplary rating, but it nowhere near exemplary now. He was strict & held the teachers, students, & parents accountable. Now, the new principal is laissez-faire in her leadership style. She is friends with many of her staff members, so she never gives them directives or works to resolve parent complaints. Attendance and on-time arrival has dropped, there is no longer an afterschool care program, and the school is now over-crowded because it merged with another elementary school. A lot of excellent teachers and staff members retired. The nurse is lazy and just sends all of the kids home or says "there's nothing i can do about that!" Last year, a kid had a seizure in the cafeteria and several minutes passed by before he received help. Some of the teachers try, but they are overworked. High performers and very low students are lumped together in the same classes - there is no GT program or counselor. I used to brag on this school as being an excellent neighborhood school, not anymore. Oh - the PTA is practically nonexistent. I am moving my son to a private school.

This is my child's first year at Milne, and she loves it. She is in kindergarten and has exceeded exceptionally well along with the help of her preschool education. The school is very informative to the parents and her teacher is compassionate when it comes to her students. Right now this is the place for her. I can't wait to see what the future holds.

The teachers definitely work however, the admiinistration at this school is at an all time low. Very, very unorganized and students are out of control when it comes to discipline. The teacher swork hard and try to support every student's learning. I wish the administration was more supportive to parents and teachers.

This is an excellent school with great teachers who care and most of all love what they do. It's in a very nice and most important safe neighborhood. I would recommend this school to anyone.
