Enterprise Elementary School

I absolutely love this school! The Principal is amazing, very hands-on with the students and parents. My daughter started kindergarten this year and absolutely loves it. There are higher expectations of learning than I anticipated. I really like that also. It's always better to be challenged than bored!

I went to Enterprise and so did my spouse. We are successful, college graduates with great careers and great children. This school has also provided retirees in the community great opportunities. If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything at all.

I have to say that based on the review below, I can say that I personally know the assistant principal, and KNOW that she would never say that. Enterprise has earned a School of Excellence award for the 2010 school year..very impressive. And that means that parents, teachers, staff, custodians, and students ALL work together to make this happen. I suggest that the parent below look into different programs within Enterprise to help her daughter, and talk to the gifted ed teacher if she feels that she isn't at the level she could be at.

Wow. Absolutely terrible. My daughter attends this school and is reading below grade level. I found out that she is being given reading work well below her grade level and graded on that, rather than what she should be doing/learning. The assistant principal told me that this was not a problem as 73% of America only reads at a 4th grade level anyway, so all newspapers and magazines are written to that level so she shouldn't have any problems in the future. I'm scared for our future.

My daughter attended 2nd grade at Enterprise. Looking back, I should have complained to the school board about the behavior and attitudes I experienced there. One teacher called my friends daughter a liar in front of the entire class and another intentionally hit my car with her radio. Both of my grandmothers died within two weeks of each other and I was treated terribly for my daughter missing school even though she had better grades than perfect attendance students and all of her homework was completed for the period missed; I was so depressed and was told 'well, it isn't your mother'. Our current school is fabulous and I am so thankful that I don't have to leave my child with such terrible people anymore...we skipped down the sidewalk and high fived each other on the last day of school because we were grateful to never have to go back.

This has been my first elementary school experience and it has been a great one. I know that my child is loved and well taken care of. Thank you Enterprise!

Great Staff! Older remodeled school. Diverse cultures which I view as a positive. Involved staff with all around school activities. Have three children here and have enjoyed their time hear and academically have done well.

This has been a really great year for my two children. They look forward to going to school each day. The class sizes are small and the teachers really know my children. My kids have soared in reading and I know its because of the great program, books and D.E.A.R. We also have had a lot of fun with family nights. It has been a great year.

I am so very disappointed in how this school takes care of their kindergarten children. I have just recently found out they took away snack 3 months ago and never told parents. Their homework expectations for a kindergartner is outrageous. My daughter used to love preschool and now she begs me every day to let her stay home. Kindergarten should have been a magical year. Instead I can't wait for it to just be over and to pull her out of Enterprise.

Its really sad to hear how negative some of these parents are. This school is wonderful because it works with all the needs of our students. Its not just about ESOL ( not ESL like some parents stated) but its an excepting school regardless of your immigration status. This country is a wonderful mixing bowl of people and I can say that the school is just as wonderfully diverse. The teachers, kids, parents, and administration is wonderful! We are a big family!
