My two children has done superb since starting S. Christian elementary. The teachers are fantastic and everyone tries their hardest. I’ve been to back to school events, to field days, meeting teachers and everyone is so great.

No stars. Would not recommend. I am considering homeschooling after this year.

There is very little homework sent home in 1st through 3rd grade. Which would be ok if the teachers kept the parents better informed. Parents have to claw, scrape and pull any information out of the teachers to know what is being taught, and how it’s being taught.

The teachers are nice, but nice only goes so far. When the teacher teaches the 3 branches of the American government incorrectly, the teacher is ineffective. When a teacher starts kids in multiplication and does not teach the Zero Rule, even though there are zeros on the homework, the teacher is ineffective.

I do believe that this school does do this, however, it is not their place to do so. I am the parent, that is my job. The school’s job is to educate my child, not be a parent. Focus on how ridiculous the Common Core ways are and go back to actually teaching something.

My daughters have attended this school for the past 2 years. They are now in 4th with Mrs. Hazelrigg and 5th with Mrs Hale. My 4th grader is doing exceptional with the normal misbehavior and Mrs Hazelrigg is a wonderful teacher. My 5th grader has Asperger's Syndrome and the teachers way of dealing with this is not to be much help and modifying her work so they can just push her through instead of helping her succeed and having good parent/teacher activity. My 5th grader already has disabilities with daily activity and it only makes it worse when they do not assist me in making sure her homework is coming home instead of using recess time to put her by herself to finish what should have come home in the first place. Mrs Giles the principle is nice but what was discussed at the beginning of the year to make sure my 5th grader is accomplishing something they are just pushing her aside so they don't have to deal with her and then putting more work on me as a parent when she comes home. They only care about making #1 school in the district and not worrying about the student that have learning disabilities only making sure they have as little as possible to do to make the grade.

I have had a child in this school since 2006. It has been a wonderful place to learn. The teachers and staff are friendly. The school is always clean. The teachers are well educated and treat the children with respect and ask for it in return. My children have never had any problems here. The past few years South Christian has had the highest scores in the county for reading and math. Both teachers and students have worked hard to achieve that. I volunteer alot at the school for all grades. They love parent involvement. Anyone who can volunteer is greatly appreciated. There is always information going home to parents every week to keep them updated about what is happening in the classroom and teachers are always willing to talk to the parents if it is needed or wanted. You can call, e-mail, or make a time to see them in person. They have after school care until 6pm everyday if needed. And for 3rd-5th graders they can try out in the fall for the school jumprope team. South Christian has been a great school and I will be sad when we have to move on and up.
