This school isnt perfect, but it does one thing right that carries it into greatness every year: it builds kids up while holding them to a high standard. It expects exceptional character from students and staff, and it takes seriously the work of helping kids take pride in themselves. Sallie B starts with its uniform and, through exceptional leadership, builds a coalition of students, teachers, and parents who reinforce one another and create positive experiences together. As a father of three elementary students there, it is my great pleasure to recommend this school to parents looking for a positive atmosphere for growth and learning.

I agree 100% with the comment stating kids with behavioral issues attend here and a lot of bullying goes on. Also 100% agree the school does nothing about it. The bus transportation isnt any better. My childs bus driver almost got into an accident with an 18 wheeler!! As well as hitting simple stationary items, like stop signs. Ive reported it to the school and presented the proof in pictures and videos that she speeds and is reckless but nothing came of that either! Want to figure out why? .that bus driver was also a teacher and a cheer coach, so I take it that was swept under the rug since shes valuable to them. So we give people many hats to tire themselves out and put our childrens lives in danger? Irony is, Seems public school is safer.

The teachers from all grades, administrative staff and all other staff members put their hearts and souls into reaching each child's needs.
They went far above the call of duty. One example was a teacher tutoring after school , on weekends and a holiday weekend. This was done without pay. I would like to give a shout out to the fourth grade instructors.
Special area teachers were great encouragers of students to become proficient in their individual gifts and talents.

Sallie B Howard School is an excellent school, especially when it is compared to the other schools in this area. They truly foster each child and their learning capabilities, and are open to parents being a part of the learning process. I see a couple of parents complaining about the school, but I have never seen staff be anything but professional with students, parents and each other. As for the homework load, it depends on the teacher that the student has, my daughter has been going since Kindergarten, and her homework load varied. But, she has maintained a A or A/B honor roll status since her first day of school. There are some children that do have behavioral issues, but in reality, all schools have this problem, not just Sallie B Howard. Many parents love to participate in the events that the school has and I wish it went higher than 8th grade. Overall, this school is wonderful,especially when compared to other local schools, and I have recommended parents send their kids to this school.

This is the worst school that I have ever had the displeasure of allowing my child to attend. There are plenty of resources but a severe lack of professionalism from a lot of the staff. Its a very big school and looks great but its just an illusion. There was physical bullying and inappropriate language within the classrooms which I spoke to my child's teachers and even the principal about, yet nothing was done. Hardly any homework was given when my child attended, either. If you care about your child's education and well being, DO NOT send them to that school! Its a complete bait and switch routine so don't fall for it. There are too many kids with behavior issues that attend and it takes away from the kids who actually WANT to learn. Plus most of the teachers don't even try to motivate or challenge their students, academically speaking. I feel sorry for all the kids that are currently attending and for the parents who are completely oblivious to what's actually occurring within the school. My child will never return to Sallie B. Howard.

I would never ever enroll my child again in this school. There's a lot of discrimination. their so called "nurtured heart approach" has never been practiced by their PE teacher nor by their directress,, such a shame.

We love SBH we are from NY and this is the kind of school and teaching we are use to. The teachers are on point and the staff is so helpful. If you don't know anything about SBH except what you hear see for yourself and I am sure you will enroll your child .
