I have to agree with the 2014 reviewer, the principle is also just going through the motions like many of the teachers. They do not effectively deal with bullies allowing them to continue harrassing and physically assaulting other students. The admins way of dealing with students who make "bad choices" (thier words not mine) is to punish the whole class hence having the offending students peers to shun the student. This school is more concerned about making sure the school gets special funding. It is to the admins benifit to keep these students under preforming. Meaning- they get more money.

I love Sussex Elementary School. I have seen such a wonderful change in my daughter's knowledge. The teachers and staff are wonderful . I would highly recommend Sussex Elementary.

The principal at Sussex does not have the leadership skills necessary to make sure the needs of all students are met. A few of the teachers who work there are wonderful, but others are very negative and just go through the motions of the day instead of truly trying to make a difference in the lives of children in the classroom. On a positive note, the children do have access to a great deal of current technology, but overall I would not recommend this school to anyone.
