Broadmor Elementary School

My humble opinion is that a switch to "No homework policy" in this school several years ago is seriously affecting school performance in a negative way. I feel there should be more discussion about whether this policy benefits students.

For being a public school, it sure has a lot of perks that private ones do. I love the staff here and the whole atmosphere is conducive to learning and growing. We are blessed to be in this district and the boundaries!

I am very pleased with the education my son is getting. We are new to the district and I hated to leave the old one behind. However, my son has been welcomed by his teacher and his classmates. She has meaningful and challenging assignments that progress logically. Under her care, my son is becoming quite the writer, something I never expected!

My child attended this school last year because on the surface it has all the right stuff like great ratings on line. However, I was EXTREMELY disappointed with the way the PRINCIPAL handled issues of discipline involving serious matters between children and staff. She always takes the "side" of the staff without even considering what parents and students say. She seems only concerned with the "image" of the school rather than the students and parents. I also was very upset when one of the staff PHYSICALLY disciplined my child by grabbing my child by the face and demanding that my child "Listen!" to her. Absolutely unacceptable. When we approached the principal about the incident, she immediately defended the actions of that staff member (despite the fact that this staff member ADMITTED that she did grab the child by the face and may have gotten out of hand physically!). That was disconcerting to say the least. If you want a school that has a principal who is concerned FIRST about the student/parent/staff relationship rather than how "great" AIMS scores and outer appearance of the school fares in the community, then I strongly advise you to pass Broadmor by.
