"Claymont was completely restructured prior to the 2009-2010 school year. There is a new principal, and the school now has grades K-5. My daughter is in the 4th grade gifted program. There is an individual teacher who uses archaic teaching methods, but the principal was quick to respond when we brought it to his attention. I feel that my child is safe, is learning, and eagerly participates in (free!) after school activities."

"I had had very good experiences at Claymont with my older kids. My younger kid was at a private school, this year we decided to enroll her at Claymont too. The staff is prepared and gives 100% every day. The will push the kids to do their best with academics and behavior at all times. Yes we have to understand that there are a lot of kids, and not all of them have a good background or support at home."

"It is the worst school I have ever seen.My child has hated every minute spent here.The administrative staff is rude and unapproachable at all times.The room teacher was not cooperative and would never reply to emails etc. I had a tough time trying to get a response from her for anything.I am glad I don't have to send my child to this school anymore."

"I have been disappointed with the quality of care that my child has recieved in this school. I have raised concerns about the lack of progress my child is making and the teacher just makes excuses that the child must be taught at their grade level, even though the teacher is aware that the child is behind grade level. She states that she has to teach toward the DSTP, which is fine, however, you also have to find a way to teach the child where they are so that they are learning rather than failing without any attempts at remediation."

"I have experienced on several occassions, that the some administrative staff at the school are unapproachable and unfriendly. I felt that they were not interested in my concerns for my child. However, the teachers are wonderful."
