Stiles point has a large number of excellent teachers and our overall experience has been excellent.

GreatSchools has a couple of errors or things I think are unfair.
1) Security is excellent. Full-time guards are present and access is well controlled.
2) GreatSchools marks progress low. This may be true, but it's based on students already performing at the top of the range. As the parent of a G&T student here, I would like to see more done to help overachievers reach their full potential, potentially even advanced classes moving them through additional grade levels without officially advancing them above grade age, but it's difficult to fault the school for being full of high performing students.

It's odd to see JI Elementary rated higher here. In terms of raw scores, Stiles Point has a much larger percentage of students achieving at or above grade level than JI does. We've considered whether it would make sense to try to get our child into Buist and decided against it.

Stiles Point Elementary is an exceptional school that stands out for its supportive and engaging teachers who genuinely care about their students. The creativity and passion shown by the educators are nothing short of inspiring, creating a learning environment that fosters curiosity and enthusiasm. My children have absolutely loved their experience at Stiles Point and eagerly look forward to school each day. The dedication of the teachers and staff not only enhances their academic growth but also nurtures their social and emotional development, making Stiles Point an incredibly special neighborhood school.

This is an outstanding school! The school community and teachers are wonderful! We have been so blessed to have our daughter attend Stiles Point Elem since Kindergarten. She is excelling from the individualized instruction, special clubs, programs, and the attention they give to everyone of their students.

Both of my children attend Stiles Point Elementary, and we couldn't be happier to be part of such a special school community. We love that SPES offers a perfect blend of caring, nurturing support and strong academic rigor. Even though its a large school, it truly feels like a close-knit neighborhood family where every child is known and valued.

My family has had a wonderful experience at Stiles Point Elementary. The administration, teachers and staff are wonderful. The school provides a warm and welcoming environment. Both of my boys have found great success in and out of the classroom. We could not ask for a better neighborhood school!!!

I have two children that attend this school and they are thriving both academically and emotionally. The teachers care and we feel safe at this school. Stiles Point Elementary is a wonderful school.

We have two sons that attend this school and our experience has been very good, even considering the pandemic. One of our boys has a learning disability and they have been very supportive. Their early leaning program is excellent and we are fortunate that our youngest is able to attend.

We have been extremely pleased with our experience. My child is entering into the 2nd grade. We have seen incredible progress over the years academically, and his test scores reflect that. The school community and PTA are very involved. The teachers and administrative staff are amazing. You cant go wrong with this neighborhood school, and we look forward to our next three years.

We are extremely happy with this school.

Posted: March 1, 2019

We cherish the 15 min we spend with our child to complete homework- it lets us know our childs progress and includes us in the educational process.
I cannot phathom why homework would be an issue for parents.

Posted: March 1, 2019

There is a dedication here that is above expectations. This is not just a job and it really shows.

Posted: March 1, 2019

Weve lived in many cities where the school children look and act ferral- the children here have extremely good manners and are respectful to each other and adults.

Posted: March 1, 2019

Our child is only in kindergarten, but so far the staff is extremely dedicated and team oriented. All smiles all the time and a principle that is not above taking part in the fun.

Posted: March 1, 2019

I am not sure about this as our child has excelled beyond our expectations- going from scrawling her name at years beginning to reading nearly anything in front of her and looking for math problems to solve in 6 months.

Posted: March 1, 2019

I am unsure if this is even an issue here. The children are well above the norm.

Posted: December 14, 2017

This is one of the absolute best elementary schools in Charleston County, public or private. We have been amazing by the teachers dedication to the children and the level of learning. The principle is amazing and the children LOVE him! Highly recommend!

If you are black run away, It is racist school.

Posted: July 13, 2017

I feel this could definitely be improved upon. Communication is lacking between admin and teachers, policies are not enforced. Need more positive leadership, it comes off as if the teachers run the school.

Posted: July 13, 2017

Not a school policy, just individual teacher policies.

Posted: July 13, 2017

We've been fortunate to have the teachers we've had in the past 5 years.

Posted: July 13, 2017

We have been pleased. There is definitely some difference in opinions between teachers and administration and that shows. Front office is a bit abrasive with parents and kids, I do wish that there was a more welcoming atmosphere. PTA does a lot with the school and provides a lot for the school. There were many events they held this year that brought the school community together and I hope that continues.

Posted: May 11, 2017

Positives are that the PTA works hard to deliver what the school needs and parents and teachers want. Also, the majority of teachers are good at what they do.
Negatives are if your child doesn't fit the "mold" don't expect to met with open arms. Children are meant to be seen and not heard and must conform.
The administration is lacking in presence and you are made to feel un welcome and a bother as a parent.

My daughter is in her 6th year at Stiles Point and has had an amazing experience there both socially and academically! She has been in the gifted and talented program since 3rd grade and just started the strings program this year which she loves. The teachers have ALL been the best of the best and the principal Mr. Ard is hands down the best in his field!

Posted: March 7, 2016

Young kids get too much homework, in my opinion, but I think that's a nationwide problem.

Posted: March 7, 2016

I'm pleased with the anti-bullying and anti-clique measures the school takes. I don't hear much about hurt feelings or gossip. The teachers seem to have a good handle on social dynamics.

Posted: March 7, 2016

My daughter has been at Stiles Point for 4 years, and every year I have been so pleased with her experience. The teachers and staff are amazing, and it seems to just keep getting better and better! I picked Stiles Point before we picked our house (we moved to Charleston 5 years ago), and the school has exceeded my expectations.

Stiles Point is a wonderful neighborhood school where the children are safe, well cared for, nurtured, and taught using creative, hands-on methods by the teachers. The school has a warm and welcoming feeling and everyone from the office staff, teachers, day porter, and principal are very friendly. I am impressed by the student work displayed in the halls and the fact that all students always appear to be actively engaged in the classrooms. Stiles Point reminds me of the elementary school I attended as a child. Wonderful school!
