Grafton Village Elementary School

I’ve had 3 kids at Grafton Village. We had an amazing experience at this school for every grade. The nurse and staff are pleasant and the teaching is exceptional too!

My oldest attends GVES and my youngest will start in the Fall. Overall, I am thrilled with the school, the teachers, the support staff, the administration, the PTA, and the student body as a whole. My son has received an immense amount of support for his reading and speech. I feel his teachers and the administration communicate openly when issues arise. I love the variety of activities available to all grade levels. My oldest loves his school youngest is so excited to start at GVES!

My child’s times at GVES has been nothing but positive. Her kindergarten teacher had her reading and writing at several grade levels above her actual grade within a short period of time. Her 1st grade teacher was simply amazing and worked excellent with all of the kids. My meetings with the teacher were always very informative and always had clear goals for the development of my child. Her reading skills really developed and now reading has become a pleasure for my child. My child has only reported positive things to me about Art, Music, Gym etc. I firmly believe that GVES is improving in the right direction. Recent test scores reflect a huge jump as well. I look forward to see my child’s development going forward.

Love this school! Very warm, inviting, professional atmosphere! My two children have had a variety of teachers and blossomed under their guidance and care. I especially liked how my kids learned to adapt to different teacher styles, had a varied amount of homework every year ,and made new friends each year. Most importantly they learned A LOT in so many creative ways! What better preparation for middle school? Thank you to the principal, assistant principal and teachers and staff of Grafton!

My children & I absolutely loved this school! My daughter attended K-3rd grade & my son K-1st. The principal,vice principal & teachers were amazing! The best thing about this school,is the academically struggling children didn't just get lost in the crowd.Its an overall great place for your children to feel comfortable & learn.

My daughter attended Grafton from K- 3rd. Overall, I have been disappointed with the lack of planning on the schools behalf as well as the teachers. When they have an event at school, you won t receive any info until the day before. Unless it's a PTA thing. Then you will be over loaded! A lot of the teachers are 1st time teachers and it really shows. We had a wonderful 2nd grade teacher.. But the rest have been barley up to par. The office and principle are hit or miss, Sometimes the office is helpful. But they do have a older lady that is more willing to be rude than to send you to the right person for your concern. I have had that issue 3 times now. You can't get past her to speak to the Principle. It's very upsetting that she is allowed to treat parents little to no respect and seems to care less about our concerns.

My eldest daughter attended this school from second grade through fifth grade, my son kindergarten through fifth grade, and I now have a preschooler attending the inclusion class as a special education student. Overall I would not recommend this school and do not intend to send my youngest there. The leadership from the principal is poor. He is a nice man, but not a great administrator. There are of course some wonderful teachers, but overall I did not find my elder two well-prepared for middle school. Neither maintained a rigorous homework routine, especially in fifth grade. I know other parents have expressed the same concern. Their work habits should be at least introduced so they are not in for such a shock once middle school begins. The principal and vice principal determine class placements and are known for streaming the same students together all six years. It creates so much stress and heartbreak each fall when the kids return from summer break. I've heard of other school districts assigning students to their new classroom before the school year ends, which allows the students to meet their new teacher, see who is in their class, and not worry over the summer.
