Einstein Elementary School

Einstein was a successful school community for my son. He had caring well qulaified teachers who both challenged him and helped him succeed when he needed remediation. The mulitcultural school climate gave him a golabal perspective and fostered in him an appreciation for all cultures. Einstein prepared my son for Junior High and future learning. I am so glad we chose Einstein for his elementary education.

Both of my children attended Einstein until the district boundaries were redrawn. The school has amazing, dedicated teachers that work as a team. Due to the leadership and cooperation amongst the staff, parents are happily involved at Einstein. Unique events hosted by teachers and parents bring the community of Einstein together. The unity and cultural diversity is unique and to be celebrated at this school. We miss what we found at Einstein.

I love this school and new principal so much that I m still volunteering 6 years after my kids have left. My daughter started at Wilder and transferred to Einstein for 5th and 6th grades. We were worried at first, but it was the best move. We finally felt needed and appreciated as volunteer and Katie loved her teachers. My son was in one of the first classes to go all the way through, he also loved all his teachers. If you have a choice, go to Einstein.

Einstein is a fantastic school with a warm and caring staff and a community environment with parents as a working arm of the team. My daughter and son went to Einstein and I feel very lucky that my children got to experience such a high quality education. Not only are the teachers amazing, and work tirelessly for their students but they are willing to go the extra mile for every student. Each of my children had special issues from needing extra hlep to needing more challenging work and the teahers met their needs. The cultural diversity at Einstein is one of it's biggest strengths and it helped my children grow and learn to respect all people.

Its sad that people rate this school the way they do because it is awesome. There is nothing we dislike about this school. The students, the teachers, and the parents are awesome. We care a lot about challenging our kids and we feel that this school can totally meet the needs of advanced kids. Plus, there are kids from all over the world at this school which makes it so much better of a school to attend than a place where all the kids are from the same ethnic group.

Don't let the negative ratings fool you. Einstein is a great school. This school has some of the best and most hardworking teachers around. We had an option to move to some of the higher rated schools around our neighborhood, but we chose to stay here. I am very happy with my decision. This is one of the only schools in the district that breaks students into groups based on ability and teaches each group at their academic level. My kids were doing Math and English well beyond their grade level. Most other schools do not provide that kind of instruction. Keep this in mind while making your choice.

Einstein has incredible parent participation. This is the part we like. The parents help bring a sense of community.

We moved here in the middle of the year in 2nd grade and his teachers were very helpful and understanding. He didn't miss a beat. The first day of third grade, his teacher, Ms. Hemingway taught the class the word ""quintessential". They really challenge students there and I'm frankly surprised their rating isn't much higher. In the five different schools my son has been to, this is his and my favorite. They make learning fun which is difficult and relate to the kids without patronizing or diminishing them. I can't say enough about them.

Einstein is a great school. The teachers are excellent and caring. The principal is super involved and really goes out of his way to care for the kids and the overall school environment. My daughter does speak of a class bully or two, but overall we're very fortunate to have such a great school!

We are delighted with our experience at Einstein. Each one of my daughter's teachers has been creative, kind and effective. Terrific music/choir program, active PTA, fun family activities, the principal knows every student by name. We love the multi-ethnic, multi-lingual population and the celebration of differences. A poster in the library contains a quote from Einstein: 'How I wish that somewhere there existed an island for those who are wise and of goodwill!' This school is such an island!
