Bush Elementary School Reviews


Posted By: teacher Quality Score: decline 2009-05-24 “In my 14 years of teaching, I have never taught at a better school. The entire staff is awesome and the Principal is a true leader. He has earned the respect of students, parents and teachers.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-04-30 “My Son is attending Barbara Bush and is a Boundary exception. We wanted to attend this amazing school! Principal Brian Corte is AMAZING , he knows every child by name! Very involved with the kids on a daily basis! The staff is wonderful, the cirriculum is TOP NOTCH, with Excellent Teachers! We are in boundary for Red Mountain Ranch Elementary- but Barbara Bush Elementary school is FAR Superior in every way! Night and day difference! We look forward to 5 more wonderful years of education at Barbara Bush Elementary school!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2009-04-01 “My daughter has been attending this school for her kindergarten year. She loves her teachers and the teacher's aide. The teachers have been very professional, helpful, and responsive to any issues that arise. The principal is nice and involved with the children. The PTO has many activities planned throughout the year (I'm not in the PTO), and gives opportunities for parents who are not in the PTO to volunteer and participate (Fall Festival was so much fun!). The only complaint I have is the front desk secretary who can be a little snooty. Everytime I speak with her, it's like I'm inconveniencing her. Otherwise, everyone else that I come into contact with greets me with a welcoming smile. My daughter loves it there, and she is definitely prepared for 1st grade! Two thumbs up.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2009-04-01 “We've been at Bush for 3 years and love it! We are out-of-district and are willing to drive there daily as it's worth it compared to other elementary schools nearby. We find the teachers very caring and they keep us informed on all academic and activities that are occurring. We can send email questions to the teachers and receive answers back the same day, sometimes within hours. We have access to all their reading, grade, and test reports quickly. My dealings with Mr. Corte, principal, have always been very fair and informative. He knows every kid in the school by name and greets all the parents when he sees them. He is a great disciplinarian who does not tolerate any bullying or teasing. The school has lost 200 kids in last few years causing teacher reassignments, budget cuts, and resource shortages, like many other districts, and they are doing great job!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 2 2008-12-18 “My family has been at Bush for the last 9 years. My youngest is a 5th grader and the two oldest are off to Stapley and Mountain View. For 6 years, I could not have been happier with Bush! The teachers were loving, nurturing and always had my children's best interests at heart! I loved going to Bush because it felt so much like a family - it was a pleasure to serve on the PTO board and in classrooms. However, since the current principal came 3 years ago, everything has changed. The teachers and staff are no longer as friendly as they once were. It feels cold and impersonal when you enter the school or classroom. And academically, there have been so many changes to which teacher is teaching which grade that I no longer have faith in the education that my son is receiving there.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2008-10-23 “The principal, Brian Corte is very accessible and invloved. He and the staff do not tolerate bullying or other negative behavior. My boys are in Kindergarten and first grade and they have had amazing teachers so far. I would recommend this school for it's academic excellence, the quality of educators, and strong ethical leadership. My experience could not be more opposite of the March 30 comment.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2008-03-30 “Uncaring principal & staff, unwilling to do what it takes to reach a child. Not recommened!! Issues are handled to meet the needs of the teachers not the child. Teachers do as they please, and talk to children in an unprofessional manner & principal chooses to side with teacher rather than investigate the situation!!!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-09-07 “Our second son is in his second year at Barbara Bush. Our older son was there for 6 years. Our experience has been really great! So great, in fact, that we aren't likely to move from this community untill our daughter has completed 6th grade. we will happily be here for another 8 years! :)” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 1 2007-08-11 “Academically this is a great school. Some teachers are very good, but the power and control of the admin is one-sided.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-07-18 “Barbara Bush has been voted an A plus school, which is the highest accomplishment a school can acquire. The staff, principal, and parent involvement is exceptional. I feel so lucky to have 4 children attend this school over the past 10 years. My youngest child will be attending 6th grade this coming Fall of 2007. My oldest two boys who attended Barbara Bush are now 19 years old. I've never had a single complaint. All positive. My kids have graduated high school with many academic scholarships offers. I know it is because Barbara Bush gave them the head start that they needed.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2007-05-19 “We are finishing our first year there and so far have been impressed. We had a really great Kindergarden teacher and aids. Only complaint (and it is small) other Kindergardens here in Arizona will re-apply sunscreen to the kids. They don't do it here.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2007-05-17 “Barbara Bush School is an excellant environment to raise well adjusted and happy children! They are family oriented with the focus always being on the welfare of the child. The teaching staff is very professional, and in tune with the individual needs of each student! The children are kept busy and challenged, with numerous and fun academic activities. Our family has been truly blessed by being a part of school! We recommend it highly!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2006-04-08 “Excellent teachers, and school in general” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2006-01-25 “Barbara Bush has a friendly and professional faculty and staff, who truly care about the students. They take time for their students and their families. I have never felt 'brushed off'. My student is doing exceptional. Weekly if not daily we are amazed, impressed and proud of how our student is learning. The school also teaches courtesy and respect among each other. Barbara Bush Elementary is a wonderful school. It's a A+.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2005-08-05 “Excellent environment for all children. Heavy emphasis on loving reading and respecting others. Great ELP program for excelling students. Terrific parent involvement. Can't say enough good about my 3 children's experiences here.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-05-24 “This school is great. They keep adding extracurricular activities, which I think is good. However, they need to put a bit more stress on the gifted program. Perhaps they could meet more than once a week, or receive more homework from that class. They shouldn't be afraid to challenge them, as long as they can handle it!” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-04-11 “Good school. This school not only takes academics seriously, but allows for fun learning and has the kids earn really great field trips. There is a nice mixture of fresh new teachers and experienced teachers at this school. I would like to see P.E. offered 3x per week instead of 1x per week. Music and art programs exist, but seem like an afterthought rather than true instruction.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 4 2005-02-25 “Lots of fun activities! They do need to improve on the accelerated program for more advanced students. Maybe more time or homework from that class. I also like that they do not tolerate misbehavior from the kids. They are there to learn.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-12-25 “My son has attended 2 other Mesa Schools. By far this is the best of them. My husband and I feel as if the teachers and staff really care about the students and their parents.” Posted By: parent Quality Score: 5 2003-08-22 “I love Bush Elementary! My children first attended Bush in fall 2002 and they absolutely loved it! Two of my three children attend Bush this year, as my oldest is now in Junior High. The staff is wonderful, as well as the parents!”
