“The programs are wonderfull! The P.E. programs are great because they allow to do the most unusual things, like learning how to unicycle and juggle. They really incourage you to do new things. But some students are rude, though I just ignore them. Some teachers can be a little confused with things, but other than those things, I encourage you to go to this school.”

“Schmitz Park has been an incredible learning experience for both of my daughters. I have been very impressed with the level of instruction, the amount of nurturing and compassion that the staff and parents share. I only have positive things to share!”

“They offer some good programs like Read Naturally, Passport, Music and PE. There is alot of parent involvement. The teachers are dinosaurs-they aren't up to date with new teachings. I had a hard time communicating with the teachers about my child. They weren't open to what I had to say. Also the environment was strange it felt like I stepped back in time to the 1950's. Individuality was not promoted-if your child's a square peg they would fit in fine. I like individuality and diversity so I left this school.”

“My son is now is 1st grade at Schmitz Park. I have nothing but good things to say about the school, other than the fact that the class size is a tad large. They have great PE and music programs, and he's really learning-and, more importantly, enjoying learning-at a fast pace. He loves his teacher, respects the principal, and has made lots of friends.”

“This school may not look great from the outside, but it has incredible community support behind it and a good heart. The playground is being updated to include a grassy area which will add alot. The Passport Program (geography) is amazing, the Read Naturally program is also a great success. I have not yet experienced the Larson Math program, but it looks good too. I would highly recommend this school.”

“My brothers and I went to this school when we were little. It is nice to see that 20-24 years later it is the same P.E. teacher and I think The same libarian. from when I went there as a little girl. I liked the fact that my son had a homework packet every week to do at home. Every month they have the passport check, each student in each grade is to locate differnt countries on a map. If they succeed they get their passport stamped. I dont think I learned about foreign countries in school till I was in the third grade. The students parents are highly envolved in this school. If it wasnt for them we would be in trouble. The music Teacher does a wonderful job putting on a musical each year, and many assemblies (Veterns Day,Christmas,Martin Luther King etc.I give this school an A+.”

“Dynamic, energetic, thoughtful principal who sets the tone for our excellent school. Wonderful, dedicated, talented teachers. Lots of parent involvement in all phases of the school. An exceptional environment for learning -- warm, inclusive, friendly. Don't let the physical plant deter you. This is a great place for students, families and the community.”
