I feel the amount of homework is average.

I feel the teachers are great but unfortunately with a BAD leader (Principal) comes a negative environment & since the hiring of the Principal, most of the amazing teachers have left.

The schools environment is very negative and not encouraging.

The leadership at this school needs to be reconsidered. Mrs. Pryzbyla shows no concern for the students nor their parents concerns. She is mainly holding a title.

Well it is hard to control/deal with bullying when the Principal is a bully herself.

My 2 children have both attended CES since K4 with no issues. We have always been strong supporters & volunteers. That has since ended with the hiring of the new Principal, Mrs. Pryzbyla, we have seen a downward, negative shift in the school environment to the point we & a few other families have removed our children from the school. Mrs. Pryzbyla does NOT care to get to know the children or the parents, & when parents bring concerns to her multiple times (by appt) she does NOTHING to address them. We asked to have our son switched to another classroom & was told she REFUSED to switch ANY student NO MATTER WHAT the situation was. We also went to the KCSC Office looking for help & spoke with Mr. Hopkins who tried to resolve the problem but for a PRINCIPAL to tell a DISTRICT DIRECTOR she won't do something- should be classified as insubordination. But it was never even blinked at. I am writing this because I want other parents to know how we were treated. How CES & KCSD did nothing to help. Change needs to happen at that school & it needs to start with hiring a new Principal.
