Clarks Summit Elementary School Reviews

 
I have two sons in this school. My experiences and theirs have been pretty good. The teachers do a good job and I like that they have art, gym, music and computer classes weekly. There seems to be a lot of parental involvement, however if you aren't a 'stay at home' mom you will get some attitude. My biggest complaint is the constant teachers strikes that went on for three years. But over all I'm happy with the school and the district and the principal of this school is great, she handles things very quickly.

Be aware that the Abington Heights School District very much encourages that children should begin Kindergarten closer to age 6 than not. The curriculum was revamped along the way to impose very rigid academics on Kindergarteners who only have 3 hours to cram all of the information in. Be ready to haggle with the teachers and the principal in order to get your child in the right academic path. The transition program is a JOKE! It's for children who are not 'socially' ready but 'academically' ready for first grade. Then, you can get into if you're lucky because it only holds 16 kids. There's always a waiting list after that. After school program? Think again. You would think with such a strong PTA and such wonderful funding from high tax dollars, that there would be more programs outside of school time.

I feel that my daughter has learned so much even though they are on half day kindegarten. The teachers seem to rally care and I feel she is getting a great education.

A beautiful school facility with great parent involvement and many opportunities for students. The school offers high quality music education, including the option of violin instruction in the fourth grade. Learning Support is also available for all students who need extra help. Nice athletic facilities and auditorium, too.
