Section Elementary School

Well run school. Good leadership, beginning with the principal. Teacher will vary from grade to grade, but overall they are there to help your child grow. Parent involvement is high and supportive.

Section Elementary is a horrible school!!! I don't know who they paid to get the Blue Ribbon Award, but they DON'T deserve it. The principal is a two face unprofessional jerk. Don't expect him to care about your concerns. The kindergarten and first grade teachers are good, but the 2nd grade and up teachers are rude and unfriendly. They don't have a lot of patience with children especially children that need extra help! The school psychologist isn't good at her job either. Don't expect any kind of assistance from her ! All the employees at Section School need to change their attitudes! Starting with Mr. Slane and ending with the grumpy women that work in the office!! Remember, you are there for our children! Your salary is paid by tax dollars. If you can't be friendly to parents and help our children learn and grow then find a new career because YOU are a bad influence on our children!! This is a message for the teachers, When a child brings you a gift please make an effort to show your appreciation!! Remember, parents work hard for the money that goes into that gift. We try to teach our children the joy of giving but we also want them to feel that their kindness is appreciated!!

We decided to change schools from a local parochial school to Section Elementary for two of our children (grades 5 and 6). It was a difficult decision, but one we are now glad we made. Both of our children have thrived at Section due to the teachers that expect excellence and help support it. The teachers go out of there way to make sure the students and parents know what is expected and what is being taught. Teachers and staff are committed to student success and work with parents to make it a reality. We believe that Section Elementary deserves its "Blue Ribbon School" rating.

We moved to this school from another area school district. I was very hesitant about changing the kids school. The kids adjusted immediately and love the new school. It took me a little longer to adjust but I cannot begin to tell you how much we love Section Elementary. It is such a quality school with both administration and teachers putting the children's interest first! We are very happy here! Thanks Mr. Slane!
