Elms Elementary School

The education at Elms has deteriorated from the time it opened in 2004. We have seen 3 principals, most recently Mr. Baginski. He always walks with his hands in his pockets, head down, hides in the corner whenever there's a school function, rarely talks to parents, rarely have I seen any passion or enthusiasm from him towards the kids or the school. I'm very disappointed how the education has deteriorated. The teachers that my children have, rarely give out homework. There's no reinforcement of learning. There is a very small ratio of teachers that have over 5 years of professional education experience at Elms. They tend to hire newly college graduate teachers to teach our children. Probably a cost saving tactic to hire young teachers with no real professional experience and a young principal running the school. One teacher even goes to the extent of giving the children no homework if a football team wins. Forget about football and focus on making our children excel in their studies. I am extremely disappointed how this school has evolved. However, I will give credit to a small group of teachers and guidance counselor there that really do care for the well being of the children. They work tirelessly to see them succeed. My hats off to them for doing an exemplary job. I only wish the new teachers and Mr Baginski can learn from the experts on what true education is.

Unfortunately, my children will have the effects of their botched learning as they mature.
