Peters Colony Elementary School

I have never seen so many driven, caring, highly qualified, and dedicated teachers in one location. Everyone from the administrators to the para professionals are involved in student success. Their success is celebrated school wide. I'm proud to be a part of such an inspiring campus where learning and working is fun.

My son was transferred from Owen, and it's like a whole different country. The curriculum is well rounded, unbiased, and healthy, and the teachers and principal do so much to ensure the success of every child. Every child.

The teachers at Peters Colony are committed to the students. The school holds many events to promote parent involvement (PtA programs, curriculum nights, Veterans's Day Program). Big WOW! The old building is being replaced with a brand new 2 story school. (set to open in Fall of 2010). TEA exemplary rating is the icing on the cake.

The staff is very committed to the success of the students. I like that they have a Science discovery class as part of their specials rotation.

I didn't like the system they used to pick up the kids after school. It was always congested. Not enough fun time, poor teacher communication. I am moving this month so my son goes to a better school.

This school year has been a big dissapointment. Our Kindergartner was not given the attention that she needed. She is a child that requires more than your average amount of adult attention and praise. This was not provided. Due to this she had trouble keeping focused on the days lessons and therefore is now behind in her academic grade level. I have had to put her in math and reading tutoring for the summer to catch her up. My children will not be returning to this school in the fall

My oldest has been with this school since kindergarten and this is her last year. My youngest has been at this school since kindergarten and is in 2nd grade. I know the Principal, the teachers and the staff and each one of them cares about the children. Each of my children's teachers know they can talk to me about any issues and I know I can talk to them. The key to successful education is to be involved in your child's education. Peter's Colony is great!

This is the best school in The Colony. The Principal really cares about each and every kid.
