"A bit disappointed in this school. There is no communication. A teacher was accused of inappropriate conduct with a student and there was no communication to the parents about it. There was no letter on the situation or on what steps are the school going to take to ensure my child's safety. Also, school year has started, and my child doesn't have a teacher yet. The last 8 days, my child has had 3 different substitutes and there has been NO communication to the parents on the status of a permanent teacher. I am very disappointed"

"This school is far to crowded, my oldest grandchild went there, all thur- K- 5th grades, it was a wonderful school in all ways! My youngest grandson started school just this year, what a difference it was this year from 2 yrs ago when my oldest was there, it is so full now, my little 5 yr old was in a class of 36, and the teacher with no help! She had no time to really speak to any one about any thing, when i tried to converse with this woman she just talked down to me and blew me off quickly, I was shocked! I guess she was overwhelmed, and I certainly see why!!! Let us not even go into what it is like to pick your child up, it is really a nightmare of the worst sort! This school is so bad, we took our child out!"

"Amazing experince all around. A 5 star Public elementary school. Our 4 children have all attended Ford. Our youngest just finished her last year. The Principal was incredible. Very encouraging, inspiring and always receptive to the children & parents needs. The teachers were caring, dedicated, seasoned & always professional. The parent involvement was beyond any other school we've attended. All is obvious by how well prepared our children re forMiddle school and beyond. Go Falcons!"

"Rigorous academic school. Relies very heavily on donations and contributions from parents. This school is test focused and doesn't have the best support for the developmentally challenged kids. However, kids that don't require special needs flourish. TONS of homework and probably like all other schools go EXTREMELY fast. Spent many evenings just doing homework with my child. I wished I had minored in education in college thus I would be able to help my child more. But, it does offer good programs and has an excellent reputation. There are high ratios of students to teachers/aides so if you child is requiring more attention this may not be the school for them. This is input from numerous parents with similar viewpoints."
