Wallen L. Andrews Elementary School Reviews

 
I love andrew school. I went to it. Now that my son is going to it it makes me happy to know that most of the teachers are still their.

The academic programs that Andrews School offers I feel are focused on the best interest of the students. In my eyes I see the school as a whole working together making many changes in all areas to meet the needs of all the students. The reaching for the stars after school program offers the children a wide range of activities from dance, music, and so much more. I am sure that Andrews will continue to excel.

Class size is a real issue for grades 3 thru 6. This is a huge impairment to the learning time and overall education for the students in these classes. On the plus side, Andrews has some great programs (after-school and music) that are new for 2007 - much to the credit of the 2nd year principal.

I believe that Andrews is a great school eventhough the class sizes are a little above average they still give the students the attention they need. Besides they get a lot of outside help. And as for extracurricular last year they had the after school homework club which benefited a lot of students.

This is my daughter's first year at Andrew's. She is a six grader her teacher is Mr. Smith. I feel that the teaching quaility Mr.Smith has generated is great. My daughter has a better reading habit and is very much into her academics. I feel the principal of Andrew's (Mrs.Soltero) is great! This women has given my daughter a second chance to successed in school, we will be forever greatfull. Thank You... Unfortunally my husband and I both work full time so we are not able to be involved as much as we'd like, but I feel that at Andrew's my daughter is in good hands. Thank you every one at the school for doing what you do.

My three children are new this year at Andrews. We have noticed that our children are excited about going to school. The children themselves have said they like this school better than their old school.

With the new principal in place maybe Andrews school can be headed down the path of educational priorities and fairness to all students. Classes are stacked (parental preferences) and many kids in this school are clearly out of the school's boundaries - problems that need fixing.

Andrews, despite the budgets cuts, is still able to provide the children with various activities and field trips. Their literacy program gets the children motivated to read so they can receive a reward at the end of the month.

Andrews; API score is good. There really is no extracurricular offerings. Classes are mixed with all kinds of student levels and behaviors which works against well-behaved, smart children because teachers deal so much with the misbehaving, lacking in parental involvement, and less than grade level students. Andrews needs better leadership and a plan to reach and develop all of the students to their potential. Currently, it seems the 'fair' mix of kids in each class is quite unfair to the kids with respect to learning and developing.

My daughter is in room 3 kindergarten am class mrs pocock. She also has Ms Lopez in her class helping her, I feel these women are great at their teaching skills and have helped my daughter greatly in her social skills as well as her academic skills. these 2 women are great@!!!!
