Endeavour Intermediate School

My daughter has gone to Endeavour since 2nd grade and she is now in 5th. I can't say enough positive things about this school. All of her teachers have been superb at teaching her in a way that works best for her. I have seen this with all of their other students as well. The counselor there is amazing as well!

The principal and staff at Endeavour are outstanding! The school has a relatively diverse student population, which is a plus. The PE and music programs are fantastic. The kids are valued and taught critical thinking skills.

Spirits are high at Endeavour!1 Endeavour has had it's share of struggles in the past... but the new principal has made a positive impact. The students absolutely love it when the principal particpates in recess games. Endeavour definately is a school of choice.

This is a fantastic school district. I love the way they have it set up and the teachers and staff and very caring and supportive. They work with my children and a daily basis and they're always there for everyone. I could just go on and on...

This school has really done a turn around. I really like the new principal and my child is really loving school here now. Although an earlier comment about the Champions program rang true when Mrs. D was there, it has really gone down in the dumps since her departure. I would not recommend placing my child there now.

We love this school. The teachers are supportive of all children. The teachers have worked hard to make the work challenging and engaging for students. The new principal is a strong leader. He holds the students accountable for their actions. He also builds positive relationships with the students. The school has started Honor Kids Assemblies this year to make the kids feel successful. This school should not be judged on previous leadership. It is a great place for kids.

Endeavour is really slipping. Behavior issues are out of control and the principal seems clueless as to how to run a school. Instead of making hard decisions that might offend somebody, she puts a pretty band-aid over problems. It's not all bad -- there are some truly great and amazing teachers here, but leadership vacuum sorely hampers their ability to be effective. There has been a visible decline in the safety and spirit of this school. If you have a choice, send your child to Hedden instead.

I love that this school has an on site daycare (champions) I would have to say that Champions is the best part of this school. As for the school itself... I feel like I'm not always listened to when my son has problems. I make suggestions about what should be done, but nothing changes! All of the parents I have talk to agree that Hedden is the better school. My son will not be back at Endeavour next year.The best part is that Champions services Hedden as well. Champions is a great program! The children love it. There is help with homework, party's, parents night out (ask them about this, it's the best), a Christmas play, and many other great activities. I would suggest sending a child there even if you don't need to for work reasons.

My children and I have been involved at Endeavour Intermediate School for over five years. The academic standards are fantastic and the teachers are top of the line. They have provided academic opportunities above the regular curriculum and beyond the school itself to outside academic pursuits. The Physical Education program and the extracurricular physical education programs are fantastic. The programs allow a student at all levels of development to participate and excel in a sport. The Principal is a great leader by allowing the strengths of each of the teachers to come together to work at a very enriching curriculum for all students. She is a wonderful listener, passionate about safe schools, enjoys large parent involvement - Very active PTA. The school has the state-of-art Yamaha Music Program for all grade levels. Each student has the opportunity to learn to play the piano! Great Academic Enriching School For All!

There are a few excellent teachers but if your child is above average you really have to fight to make sure they get a teacher that will challenge them. The pricipal is so caught up in being politically correct that she looses sight of what's best for the students. The other elementary school in the district is much more involved with the students. It would be nice if everyone was on the same level so that when all the kids get to middle school they will be at an equal level.
