Winterpock Elementary School

Winterpock is truly a one of a kind school. It is a small town school in an area where the neighborhoods are large and families are busy. However, you don't feel like your kids are a just a number at this school. Teachers go above and beyond what is expected of them and really try to help each student achieve his or her highest potential. One helpful bit of advice for new families coming to this school is to arrive early to school functions so you can get a seat! School functions and events are always packed!

We have been extremely pleased with the education our son has received thus far. He has had 2 wonderful teachers (K and 1st grade) who have worked closely with us in monitoring his progress. The school administration does an excellent job of informing us of upcoming events via parent link as well as information in his take home folder. Winterpock ES is an extremely well-run school. We are also pleased with the PTA and grade level programs Winterpock puts on throughout the year. Although it is a new school and still working on building a sense of "school family" and "identity" it is making great strides in these areas. I would not send my son (or his younger brother) to any other school in Chesterfield..

This is a wonderful school with dedicated teachers and involved parents. We are fortunate to have a very high PTA membership rate and an incredible amount of parental assistance. Because of this our children benefit greatly. This is the best school my children have ever attended and we are proud to be part of the Winterpock family.

Probably the best all around elementary school in the area. Teachers are great and students are scoring extremely high in all areas.

Pros: School basically services Hampton Park subdivision and a couple of tertiary housing developments that are close to Hampton Park. The school is very new. The teachers are great. Class sizes are getting to be large. My 6 year old is in a class of 28 and my 10 year old is in a class of 26. Cons: Some might consider this a minor irritation, but as a new family to this school, its critically important -- as the first impression and all events for those first few days in a new school are largely dealing with front office workers. This team of individuals is comprised of 3 members, 2 of which are ridiculously poor fits for the roles that they are in. No customer service skills to their name; abrasive and leave you with the impression that you've completely put them out of their way for the simplest task.

Our grandson is in the 3rd grade and has become an excellent student, and praises all the teachers he has associated with during the 2 years since moving from Springrun elementary.
