Ford Elementary School

We moved to the area in the middle of the school year last year and both of my children (1st and 4th grade) LOVE this school!! We have a special needs child that has struggled in the past with her academics, however, this year (4th grade) she has done the best then in her previous few years. The staff is wonderful and very friendly, we have been very pleased with the teachers, assistant principals, office staff and nurse Hamilton!! Everyone is always pleasant to deal with and they all must love there jobs because it shows in their attitude! The teachers are all patient, helpful and understading when it comes to both of my kids but especially my daughter who struggles in math and language arts. I can not say enough about how great they all are! You will be very pleased if you have the opportunity to have your kids in this school!!

This is a great school and they are serious about teaching your child! We moved here mid year and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and experience of the teachers and their dedication to their profession. They make sure every child learns and no one 'slides' through. The curriculum in this school district is very strong. The music program at this school is great!

The teachers are overlooked for their outstanding qualities. The pricipal is unaware of some dangerous and hazardous occurences in our school. There are too many students in this small school. The district has done nothing to control the population of the children therefore causing overcrowding. The morale is low for the teachers. There is no working as a team. The turnover is high with teachers. You never know who will be there the following year and most leave during the year b/c of the principal's cruel leadership. This does nothing but make hurt the children.

The school and teachers are incredible; however, the principle lacks leadership qualities. She creates a hostile work enviornment with an overbearing and insensitive demeanor.

Ford Elementary is a great school. The parent and teacher involvement is very high. I have had only great experiences with the teachers and the staff. I would definately move to this area so my kids could attend this school.

My son has been going to Ford for 2 years now and we are very pleased with the teachers and the staff! Parking is horrible, is there any solutions being looked at? I actually avoid all before & afterschool activities because of it. That is a shame and something should be done about it!
