Sandburg Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2007-05-17 “Academic programs are average. The teachers follow a district-wide curriculum and it doesn't seem like there is too much personal creativity. The teachers care about their students but the culture of the school is to do the minimum required and not go beyond that. The staff won't do much to help children who fall below the average. Parent involvement is great and the PTA is very active and benefits from a well funded treasury but even with a large surplus. The incoming principal was trained by the retiring principal so I don't expect much improvement in that regard.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 3 2007-04-16 “After school programs should soon improve as the principal is leaving next year. We're looking forward to new leadership. There are many great teachers at CS and new leadership can make a real difference.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-04-05 “Sandburg has, in the past, been an excellent school with a huge variety of stimulating extra-curricular activities. Parent involvement is very high and far-reaching. Money is available for amazing extra and curricular activities. Unfortunately, often parents are thrwarted by a principal with a different agenda and many valuable enrichment programs have suffered as a result. Student behavior has also suffered in the past years. The potential is there for this school to be #1 educationally in the district. Parents can hope the potential is soon realized and encouraged.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-06-07 “This is a great school! I'm impressed with the quality and variety of the accademic programs. PArents get involved as the wish and don't get forced to volunteer. I like the freedom to choose my involvment.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-04-21 “Sandburg is a very safe and happy environment - my kids and I have always been very happy at this school.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-10-18 “Newly updated technology in the classrooms (magic white boards!), strong art docent program, lots of parent involvement in fun activities as well as fundraisers. PTSA spends wisely on extra programs such as science, chess lessons, school plays, outdoor education and other enrichment activities. Easy communication with teachers via email or conferences.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2003-10-06 “Good school. Many really outstanding teachers. Ask around, get feedback from other parents. Special Ed has come a long way in this school, and is becoming more helpful to the individual child in many ways. But funding is always an issue, and many fine programs unfortunately do not get the funds to keep going.”
