"Acacia is an outstanding school that puts students first, uses best practices, promotes students success, and has an outstanding staff. The principal is always available, positive and continually rewards students for their achievement and success. This school utilizes three levels of intervention to promote student success and increase performance. Acacia is a family oriented neighborhood school that works with the community and offers many programs free to students. It is an A+ school of Excellence as well as a Title I school. Any parent would be smart to enroll their child here."

"As a parent of 2 students that attend Acaia I appreciate all the hard work that the teachers put in each day. I have seen a significant improvement in my child's reading and they have numerous programs that motivate students to learn. My child loves going to school and I'm always greeted with a smile by the office staff, teachers, and principal. THANK YOU ACACIA!"

"Acacia is truely a community school. The teachers go above and beyond to meet the needs of every child. The families are involved and always on campus helping out. Acacia has amazing business partners that contribute to the school. A family couldn't ask for a better place to be!"

"My son has been attending Acacia Elementary School for the past 2 years. His kindergarten teacher Mrs. Brown was A+mazing!!! She genuinely cared about each child individually. She helped my son and challenged him in the ways he needed to be. His teacher this year isn't as great. From what I can tell she is very unorganized and easily frustrated with the kids. I understand that the teacher to student ratio is high, but it doesn't negate the fact some children need to be challenged more than others. The Principal is nice, a little over the top but she has always been kind and friendly. I wish I could say the same for the office staff. The school nurse is rude and talks in an extremely condescending manner, as do the office aids. As far as parent involvement is concerned you have the parents that go above and beyond, and the ones who don't bother at all. They do have a lot of school functions. The bingo is always fun to attend. I drive my son 12 miles to attend Acacia. It is an excellent school, but like any school it has some minor things that need to be dealt with."

"This is a very active school. After only being at the school three weeks, we were invited by the PTO president to a pull the plug night. We didn't realize that they had an event for us each night to participate in, and the PTO president was there every night too! Talk about dedication to a school and she remember me and my children. I was very impressed with the sock hop event. They had motorcycles for the kids to take pictures on, old cars to pose in front of, and a real diner. I couldn't believe they had a diner out front and the food was amazing! Everyone was dressed up and having so much fun. My kids want to know if this is how they do all their events, I'm not sure yet, but we were invited for another event next Friday where it is a bingo for all ages. We are so eexcited to be at this school. Kuddos to the principal for the great staff she has and parents who help out. The Principal was so much fun at the sock hop judging the best dressed. I even took part in the hula hoop and buble blowing contest. Couldn't believe this was a free event. Very impressed and glad we chose this A+ school."
