Horrible school. We have been attending here for 5 years multiple kids and the principal is a nightmare. Teachers are extremely rude towards parents as well as children. There are only a few good teachers left. Went to seek help from principal Tracy Allen, found out that she is not friendly towards parents and her way is the only way, too bad if you don’t like it, is how she solves problems. PTA is strongly encouraged but teachers and faculty are not welcoming and do not like change. Do not send your kids here

There is zero tolerance for bullying and this is reflected in the student culture.

I could not be happier with this school. Admittedly, I have been pleasantly surprised after reading the ratings here when purchasing a home in this area. The staff and faculty are friendly and supportive, while upholding appropriate boundaries and structure. I am pleased with my son’s academic and social progress. In addition, this school appears to celebrate and appreciate diversity. I get a strong sense of community whenever I step through the doors of Whitman Elementary.

The homework relates directly to the curriculum. It has helped my child to integrate what he is doing in the classroom, also letting me know what his strengths are and how I can support him.

My son has had two very gifted teachers. They have both managed behavioral issues compassionately, all the while balancing the academic needs of what I see as all children in the class. The teachers I have seen seem to value the self esteem of the pupils.

These traits are emphasized to the students in each school gathering I have attended.

The leadership, headed by Principal Allen, is proactive, approachable, and engaged.

From the teachers to the after-school programs, my student’s unigue learning style has not only been accommodated, but he has been given additional tools to improve his performance.

I'm very very dissapointed in Whitman. I've had a problem with one teacher, and especially the principal. He doesn't even excuse the child when two adults are having a conversation and blames the child for everything even speaking about his own personal opinion making the child feel belittled, making them out to be a lier and feeling that they have no self esteem.. I've had problems with one parent threatening me as well as their child bulling my child and nothing was done about this issue. As well as catching the teacher pulling my child by his hood to correct him, I've went to the district as well. The principal reused to move my child to another class while saying to me infront of my child that I'm full of excuses and for that reason only, he's refuses to move my child. In the end I had to leave my child in the same class. When I address the bulling it was lead to be my childs fault. I thought the school is suppose to have our children in thier best interest, well they are not, it's their staff who is in their interest. My child WILL NOT BE RETURNING

i am extremely dissapointed in Whitman's staff. my child struggled with what i can only determine as a personality conflict with the teacher. We spoke many times to the teacher who was unwilling to accept any fault in the issue, we spoke to the principal who is uninterested in working with parents, rather he trys to make it the childs fault so that his staff looks good. The lack of communication between staff and parents is frustrating at best and the school is highly unorganized.
