| 6/13/2006 | parent | My son is finishing his kindergarten year this week and he and I really enjoyed the teachers and other staff members. |
| 6/13/2006 | parent | My child was here from kindergarten thru 2nd grade. I have never seen so much dedication among teachers as I have seen here. The school tries very hard and has a very kind and patient staff. Their gettogethers and events are a lot of fun. |
| 4/10/2006 | parent | Searles is a great school. The students are taught to be respectful of everyone, good values, good teachers. |
| 8/15/2005 | parent | Searles teachers provide wonderful foundation for life long learning. Great School. |
| 6/17/2005 | parent | The school and its staff are very exceptional. They try so very hard to make every student a success. My daughter is in the school and she loves it. The progress she made this year (1st grade) was immense. The school has great programs and strict policies when it comes to discipline. They organize a lot of seminars and 'get togethers ' for parents and the school. They are fun. I sometimes am sad to see the low parents involvement. I would definitely reccomend this school to anybody. |
| 2/23/2004 | parent | We transferred our son to Searles 3 years ago from a private school. Many parents go through the decision making process of private vs. public education. We are glad to report that it was the best decision with no regrets. The academics, teaching staff, learning programs, etc. have provided a broad scope of activities and a safe environment for personal growth and quality education. |
| 6/26/2003 | | I am an involved parent at Searles Elementary School. Searles works hard every day on character education with last year's focus of Responsibility Begins with Me. Spirit Assemblies monthly, A student leadership council program, Fine Arts program, after school homework clubs, Healthy Start State preschool on site, Hot Breakfast and lunch program, busing, Kids First childcare program on site, wonderful teachers, a great principal and support staff. We also have a science, music, p.e., media, speech, reading specialist on site. We have a Severely Handicapped class, Autistic class and a mainstream program that is fantastic. We have a an active parent group too! Searles test scores are lower than they should be, but in my opinion, this due to the fact that part of our attendance area is lower income housing with Mexican Emmigrants that are english learners attending the school. But families at Searles are participating more than ever with their child's education and how they can make this community a better place. Last year we had 1 to 2 well attended family activites at the school each month. Searles families take educating their children as a partnership. The staff is also working hard for the children at Searles. |
