Whitaker Elementary School

As I write this I am tearing up. I cannot say enough about this school. I went to private school as a child and it does not compare to the education my daughter is getting. She has been going here since K and is now entering fourth grade. The staff and teachers are thoughtful and kind. They do not let any child fall behind. My daughter had some trouble paying attention early on. Instead of labeling her as a problem child they tested her and found different ways to teach her. She is doing great now thanks to loving caring teachers.

This school is not very welcoming from the outside, but once you go inside the office staff is very welcoming and friendly. The nurse is great and very caring. Some of the teachers are just phenomenal. After a while you feel like family. The only thing i truly dislike about this school is lack of parking. It is very frustrating when you have almost a 1000 students yet only 40 parking spots. The parkinglot are very tiny and there are usually lines out into the streets. Everyone parks on the street infront of the school but it becomes a parking war. Everyone fighting for their 5 feet of space to park and leaving at the end of the day is a nightmare. Other than that, the lunch food could be improved, but it's a great little school.

There's a Teacher named Mr.Kiefer he belives in his students my daughter just graduated from high school with honors and a Gap of 4.0 and everytime we had I.e.p.meetings some lady which I honestly forgot her name always put my daughter down by saying she was to slow to make it but Mr.Kiefer always walked us out from the meeting and told me sorry I know its heart breaking but Trust me he said your daughter Erica will make it and she did and I only have this to say Mr.Kiefer gived us hope and for us to have faith in our daughter and she did it. Mr.Kiefer thank-you for caring for your students our Schools needs more Teachers like you may God always bless you.Mr.Kiefer made a big impact in my daughters and my family life's
