Kathy L. Batterman Elementary School Reviews

After watching my grandchild do some classwork with instructions from the teacher, I now understand why the students were having difficulty comprehending the teacher's request to do the work. Listening to the explanation of the work was all over the place. Just observing the kids' faces when it was explained and the unacceptable attitude about having to explain the work had me believe that person is a 'textbook' teacher with very little room for creativity and very robotic. It appeared as if the teacher was the only one in the class and practicing these teaching skills which were very dull and lifeless. Too bad some of our kids are just pushed through school with very little teaching, to meet the criteria of the school's quota. On a good note, I observed another class where the teacher got 'her hands dirty' teaching her students. The kids were having fun while learning! Kudos!

I am very proud to say that I have taught at Kathy L. Batterman ES since the day we opened our doors and I am pleased to read the positive remarks that parents have written! In today's world teaching can be a very scary and difficult job, but with the supportive parents and staff that we have at our school it makes all of the difference in the world. There may be times when the principal is not in her office, but that is what is wonderful about our school- our principal is in the classrooms where she ought to be; she is getting to know the students of the school. We credit ourselves for giving our students the knowledge of self discovery and hands on learning. This is evident, because our students like coming to school. Thank you to our community for all that you do, Mrs. Dawn Villafuerte

I too am glad that my son is no longer at this school. He was only at the school for a short time before we decided to take him out. An uncaring and unknowledgable staff made it an emotionally unsafe environment for him. We frequently breathe a sigh of relief that we are in a new school.

I am so glad that my son and daughter are no longer at this school. They were rezoned for another school in the area. The 4 months that they were at the school there was fights that were hidden from the reports. And I could never talk to the principal because she was always out of the office. My daughter had a great teacher but I had to request that my son be moved to another class due to bullying that was not corrected until I went to the school board.

I consider this school to be one of the better schools in the CCSD. I was a bit apprehensive about my daughter attending, (especially since it is a 12 month school), but it has been a great experience for our family. My daughter loves to go to school, and has a lot of school pride. Compared to last year, her grades at this school are 100 percent better. The entire staff is very helpful and friendly. I couldn't ask for a better public school!
