This is an excellent school. The Principal, Valeria Shepard, canvased the neighborhood, met parents, and asked them to return there children to the neigborhood school. She encouraged parents to be present as much as they liked and worked with the teachers and staff ensuring that parents and staff worked together to educate children. She did not have all the answers, but the answers she did have, she implemented. She has been transferred, and though that is not a happy thought, the incoming administration will continue to encourage the good that has been done as they add to the policies already in place. Flint schools educate children well and the Flint community should conitnue to support the efforts of the teachers, staff and administration as they endeavor to educate children. The school is clean insideand out. Teachers, staff and the leadership all work to keep children safe. Tehy doin't just work the slated hours, they work a great deal of overtime and the Principal set the example. Every staff person at this school gave until it hurt to be sure that students are provided a safe, clean, structured learning environment. Consider Brownell Elementary or any of the Flint Community Schools for your child's educational needs.
