I spent time as a preferred substitute teacher at Kerrick Elementary School, and I really enjoyed the experience! The principal, assistant principal are very involved with the teachers and students. The staff also is very supportive. Everyone works well together to create a great learning environment. Close Quote

Kerrick has a family-focused atmosphere and like most public schools, the more connected and involved you are as a parent, the better your experience will be. Kerrick has a diverse student body in terms of race, class (all students receive free lunch), and academic abilities (high-performing advanced program plus assistance for strugglers), and as a result can support and challenge most any child. Kerrick has a very active and successful PTA and would welcome your participation and support if your child were to attend. If you are looking for a great school that will listen to your needs and work with you Kerrick would be a great school to visit. Do what we did...pop in unannounced and spend 30 minutes checking it out. You'll probably like what you find. We are graduating our youngest this year, so we have 7 years of history with Kerrick and hope our Middle/High School selections are as successful as what we found at Kerrick. Close Quote
