St. James Elementary School
4
This is a good school with great teachers. The fact that the teachers are so wonderful goes such a long way, especially at the elementary level. The art teacher is the only teacher complaint that I have ever heard from the entire school. I have to say that I agree with that complaint after seeing coloring book pages come home as art projects.
The inability to see outside the box and meet the needs of the gifted student is lacking. There is very little in the way of enrichment activities after school for the kids to get involved with like there are at neighboring elementary schools.
