If you have the option to choose another school please do. We started this year with a happy, kind, charismatic, spunky child who loved the world and everyone in it. They knew no stranger and everyone was their friend. Since attending QCE they have learned that not all schools are great places. My child has come home from school sad, depressed and become a completely different child in just the short time they've gone to this school. They no longer have their love for going to school and learning like they did. We have reported issues with a student and a bus driver and get the blanket we'll look into it and then feel like nothing has done. My child is deemed the liar after the other child denys allegations when this has never been an issue before. They has gone to a staff member on the playground about kids being mean and been ignored. There's a major problem with kids being mean to others and putting hands on them. So my child is to scared to say anything anymore because she doesn't want to be told they're lying when they aren't. I feel like the bus issues aren't addressed because they are so short on drivers they're scared to take action. Concerns I don't feel have ever been taken seriously. They just repeat their policies and their process so they can say they did what they are supposed to do.

I used to learn here in fact I just got out of this school and now a middle schooler and I loved it here the teachers are nice, the students are nice (for the most part) but there were some kids who did not follow the rules and did not care so I think the punishments should be a bit more harsh not to much but just a bit more.

My kids have been at the school for the last 8 years or more and I would say that overall it is one of the best the staff really truly cares about their kids and make sure that you more feel like family rather than just part of a school really appreciate all the time and effort that they put into the students and making sure that it's a safe and healthy place for them to be

The staff at QCE are awesome. This school is clean, well organized and provides a positive environment for students. I have had numerous occasions to talk with different employees and have been treated with respect and a smile. Thank you QCE my granddaughter loves this school and the positive encouragement received.

my daughter loves her class! however, i was treated bad one day by a school staff. so I called the someone suitable(i thought), but she only listens to the school staff. on the phone, she didn't even let me talk! when I said many times "Can you please listen to me?" but she just answered "NO! YOU LISTEN TO ME!!! ". i was sooooo shocked the person talked like that... Classroom teachers are good, but once you guys problem with the staff, nobody protect you.

My children have been with this school since kindergarten and i have to say i have been so very pleased with the involvement of the staff and the parents! We started out with the best teacher we could have dreamed of for our shy 5yr old. Its very clean, so involved and very into whats best for the students. We landed here by school of choice and i am pleased with the choice we made, unfortunately transportation will not be provided this year but i refuse to pull them from such a great place due to that lack of transportation! We will just have to make due by grace of God and finish out our four more years! Thank your QCE for going above and beyond!

Our son started kindergarten in Mrs Oakley's class here & I couldn't be happier. She is an exceptional teacher who is caring & firm. Her balance to keep structure & still have fun is amazing. We just received orders to TX & I'll be sad to leave. The need for volunteers is high. I love volunteering here. I'm not a fan of how the PTA works, but that doesn't mean I can't be a voice & a helping hand in other ways.
