There was a curse word in the school bathroom.And the staff is so rude!Not to mention the 'computer lab' is made up of thrown out college computers.Seriously Ward Stewart Elementary school?This shows how NOT to run a school.

I wrongly assumed that the educators here would care about their students. It is evident at this point in the school year that some of them have very little experience teaching and are overwhelmed with their duties. Very unhappy with this school.

Wonderful staff! Good teachers needs more work on the bullying and racial stuff. I like that there is a lot of classes for the grades so my child gets more attention were it is needed.

I have never seen a school like this one.In one part of the year I actually thought about pulling my child out and homeschool him.(He is in 5th grade)
