"We absolutely love Peabody. We have one student in 1st grade and another starting next year. I don't quite understand the rating of 7, as the school rates 8 in most categories, with a few scattered 7's and a 6, but I give it a 10 :) Our teachers have been excellent, and Principal Ryan is an excellent administrator. I don't think the absorption of Ames students has hurt the quality of education one bit. The class sizes are still some of the lowest. Parent involvement at this school is very high. All the teachers and administrators are very accessible via phone, email and individually. I'm sure there is the occasional upset parent, but I think the norm would be a high level of parental satisfaction. PANTHER PRIDE!!!"

"Our family researched our options and chose to go to Peabody Elementary over both our neighborhood school (which has higher test scores and ratings) and the high-achieving charter school. Peabody is exceptionally accommodating and welcoming. Additionally, this school is more innovative and less status quo, with smaller class sizes, and a laser-sharp focus on education. The "personal service" we have received there is excellent - from the front office and paraprofessionals, to the teachers and administration. We could not be happier with our decision."

"Peabody is a great school. We optionally enrolled and have had the very best experience all around. The teachers are dedicated and competent. The principal is very involved and accessible. She makes time for the kids and the parents. She is alwys very visible. The school stll has low class sizes and the education is top quality! The also have an excellent child care program."

"My kids have attended Peabody for 3 years now and I find the teachers to be excellent. Unfortunately this school year because of funding in Littleton another elementary school was integrated into it. This has caused over crowding and stretched the resources they had to the maximum and I'm afraid it's time to move to another school district. The school has always been "middle class blue collar" but this past year it is going down hill with more minorities moving into this area. I am a professional and have tried to speak to the principal on several occasions about concerns and have been dismissed even before expressing my views. It's pretty evident she won't listen to parents on issues concerning their own kids. She has never given my wife and I a smile or said a word of encouragement even though our son has won a certain award every year he has been there. We like the area but she has always put a bad taste in our mouth even though most teachers teaching our kids have always been good. When we encountered one bad teacher and wanted to talk to her about it, that was when we were dismissed and not heard. Pretty evident the teachers union runs this school."

"The teachers are wonderful, the principal, however, is less than desirable. When a parent asked her about a school security topic, she essentially dismissed the concern. Budget/funding has also forced the school to take measures that it doesn't seem well equipped and prepared to handle. I feel it's highly compromising the safety and education of the children at the school. I'm disappointed as I've heard great things from parents about this school but the direction it is heading doesn't seem favorable for us, and I question the principal's leadership. It's a disservice to the great teachers and students at the school."
