It would be better if the teachers and administration was more responsive to the needs of the students. They also expect the students to act and respond as adults rather than providing teachable moments for the students. The curriculum is good but some of the teachers and administrators are subpar.

Vansville Elementary is a great school. A stellar example for other Elementary School to follow. My son started attending this school in Pre-K. He has made many strides and gains with the teachers has had. It definitely starts with the leadership. The Admin team works very hard to ensure that are children are receiving the best education possible, along with keeping them safe. It makes a parent feel good to know that their child is valued and cared for. Close Quote
