I do not like this school. They should be working more on their approach to children and find new ways to support students' work, and their needs. The way how they are ''settling'' things is not ok. Teachers do not know how to handle the differences and achievements of their students.

As my grandson started each new school year, the homework load increased within the appropriate load in order to prep students for what lays ahead as they move into middle school.

Teachers are always available - communication line always open. The use of Class DoJo and email is very helpful, taking a proactive approach.

The school culture is very positive with a very active PTA support program

I am not aware of the approach and do not have a student enrolled with learning differences.

Very proactive and never experienced any lingering problems that most often can occur in a school that ignores or fails to address

Very positive, the transition experience for my grandson from Kansas (very poor quality education system) and bringing him up to grade level would not have been accomplished without the support we received from his teachers. He looks forward to going to school and all it has to offer.

This school continues to serve the students, parents and community well. My daughter is in kindergarten reading and spelling short words. My son is in second grade continuing to learn more language and mathematical skills. What I like best about the school is its reading initiative. The school enforces daily reading skills by having a minimal of fifteen minutes per day for reading. I have successfully implemented that same rule at home which means that each day I know that my kids are reading at least thirty minutes a day. Keep up the good work Southampton!

My son is moving to second grade next year and is doing GREAT in Math and Science as well as speaking Spanish (English spoken at home) daily. My daughter was off to a slow start and has truly blossumed.
