Heatherstone Elementary School

Over the 17 year span our four children there we've always been impressed with school and staff. Things have changed over the years: some for the better, like enlarging school and with better security; and some not for the better, like reduced funding and very strange parking and traffic flow for pick up and drop off.

The school as a school I do give high marks. Teachers are outstanding and genuinely care about your child. Class size is about 18-20 kids. The outdoor play areas are well maintained as well as all the indoor facilities.

The school as a meeting location I don't give as high marks. The ability to schedule is frustrating and many dates are blocked out as a possible date holder but later free up. So you need to keep checking.

You may not cook anywhere in the building. So our previously allowed fund raiser with scouting having pancakes could no longer be performed at the school.

Also when you book facilities you also need to hire a school monitor in addition to janitorial staff. It's just confusing as you get quoted one rate, then other items get added just when you book the event. One last item: often evening sessions are uncomfortable as the air conditioning system is reduced. We often had to located a staff person to get the A/C turned back up.

All in all a great school, nice building with a very secure and safe area for the children.

Excellent school that is located in a nice neighborhood. Great teachers and great results :-)

Heatherstone is an awesome place. I went there but then I moved. I was so sad.

THIS SCHOOL IS THE BEST
