Great school, one drawback....the academics are weak. The environment. Is absolutely wonderful. You can tell everyone pretty much enjoys working and loves children. The school lacks a gifted curriculum as well as attention to providing for rigorous instruction for these special learners. Teachers are skilled with scaffolding but not extending. Such a shame, it is truly a jewel.
Great School which gets better every year. I love the language immersion program. Faculty and staff are excellent.
My family loves this school! The teachers and administration are awesome! It's very family-oriented and everyone goes out of their way to make sure each child succeeds. We have a personal chef who cooks breakfast and lunch, using ingredients from our very own garden. Our scholars learn French and Spanish, take art and/or music 2 times a week and gym everyday! We have an active parent committee, which I'm a part of, that you can join to help make the school even better. You couldn't ask for more!
The minute you walk in the doors, you can feel the warmth and welcoming nature of the school. Amazing teachers, administration and scholars. We feel very lucky to be part of this school.
Elsie Stokes is a school that cares about all children. They go over and beyond to ensure the success of their students.
Supportive, immersive language environment. Attention to creating well-rounded, curious scholars. Available, challenging teachers and staff. Enthusiasm permeates the hallways!
Wonderful school with its very own vegetable garden, sports and arts programs, and diverse culture!! Caring Administration, great teachers and staff!!!
It is one of the most wonderfully run schools I have ever seen. The children are engaged and excited and when you visit there you just want to stay.
I love Elsie Whitlow stokes because the school is doing an awesome job with the after school program as well as the eating healthy incentive for the students. The faculty show a lot of interest in students. job
