Teachers segregate children of color or ethnicity. The staff has big smiles for certain parents & rage for those who are not the same. They dont insure that your children are safe. I personally watched teachers sit by while one student repeatedly hit another. Please dont send your children to this low rating school. The google reviews are turned off for a reason.

Office staff will yell and laugh at you, throw your kid outside so they can make fun of you. A disgusting display of mean staff. If you love your children do not let them go here!

My boys have attended DeerPoint for 3 years now! We continue to be in awe of the professinalism and care for the students that the teachers at Deerpoint display. They instill moral values and a sound character in every child that enters their doors. They are always willing and open to work with the parents and you can tell that their priority is to educate children. I could go on and on about their resources and programs that they offer the children. They are a 10 out of 10 for my family!!

My 3 children have attended this school for the past 3 years. The facility is very nice, with big, well-lit classrooms, a nice library and multi-purpose room for school functions and lunch. The school also has a media room where the students produce a morning show that is broadcast into all of the classrooms via SmartBoard. Our experience with the teachers has been exceptional. The teachers have gone out of their way to make sure that each of their students achieve success, including texting parents to make sure that we are aware of assignments, and lots of communication between parents and faculty. I now have one child in Middle School at North Bay Haven, and even though I was given slots for my other two children to attend there, I did not accept them because I am so happy with Deer Point.

Unlike the other schools in this area these children are on the playground before school begins, They are not walking in a circle nor are they sitting in the lunchroom. This children are playing soccer(age appropriate) playing ball or on the jungle gym. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The environment is very clean and child friendly!

I attended Deer Point for 2 years, and I loved it there. The teachers always go above and beyond to help their students ts succeed. There was always fun extracurricular activities for the students, and the staff always had a smile on their face and always encouraged the student body to never give up, and follow your dreams. The only negative about the school was the fact that I was always being asked to donate money to the school. But overall, its an AMAZING school with outstanding qualities

Have had nothing but good experience with the teachers and staff at Deer Point Elementary School. They go out of their way to help my daughter, who has a learning disability. She has improved greatly in all subjects.
