"The last principal was only there a couple of years and quit, so there's an interim principal. Some great teachers, poor administration. You have to teach all math on your own or get a tutor, since they use everyday math program. The curriculum is not challenging for any kid who attended preschool. If you have the $$, do private school, but if not, just plan to do alot of outside educating on your own."

"Where do I begin?? I believe whole heartedly the principal of this school has no people skills. On many ocasions we have come face to face at the entrance of the school and not once has she ever said a hello. She only is concerned with meaningless dribble and projects a negative disposition to those she is not palsy-walsy with. The teachers have no clue at resolving problems between students. They push everything onto an unqualified school counselor who has good intentions but is not able to make an impartial decision without the principal's final judgement, even though the principal heard the problem not first hand but third hand. This school is all about appearences and not about really bringing out the best in the students."

"Teachers are very poor at communicating with parents. Clear separation between working mothers and stay at home mothers. Principal caters to stay at home mothers and their children. School environment can sometimes feel sterile. Looks can be deceiving @ Sickles. Expectation that parents make many financial contributions to the school. Education my child received was average. Did not feel the teachers make extra time to help."

"I have had my two children at other private and public schools and we fortunately landed at Sickles due to a professional relocation. The school is excellent in regards to its educational programs, special assistance programs, and classroom and outdoor environment. The Teachers, Principal and Volunteers are great to work with and the kids feel safe and motivated to do their best in the classroom and community. Bottom line, excellent school, excellent community and finally we feel we can see our tax dollars going to good use!"
