Vanderhoof Elementary School Reviews

 
While this school may meet the needs of some children, it does not meet the needs of children on the high end of the spectrum. A lack of leadership for the past 4 years is starting to take its toll on the school. Your child's success is very dependent upon the teachers they get and there is not a lot of communication between teachers across a grade level. Also, there is not a lot of faculty involvement in extracurricular activities (except in Art and Student Council). Many of the teachers are burnt out and are not passionate about teaching. Of course, this does not apply to ALL the teachers. Overall, my experience has not been a good one, and I would not recommend this school for high achieving children.

High level of parent involvement, however the school is not overly creative in creating or encouraging enrichment activities. Although there have been some very good principles, there has also been a lot of turnover in the principle's office.

The parent involvement could be more. They had several good programs available.

Vanderhoof was able to meet my daughter's math needs (her math skills are two years ahead of the rest of her class). My son still attends Vanderhoof and he's gotten an excellent education.

Best elementary school in the area! great teachers and great students! overall amazing school!
