Coldwater Elementary School

I love the school it has been a amazing journey

I could not be happier with this school.

Academically, this is a good school. The teachers here are passionate and innovative. All of the teachers our girls have had so far exhibit a passion for learning, for children and for engagement that goes well beyond the 'just a job' category. Archaeology, Physics, Chemistry, Astronomy, Math Applications, Music Theory, Crafts from Pinterest dreams, Computer Skills and Yoga are all some of the neat subjects our girls have mentioned that probably aren't being tested but our girls are learning.

The administrative staff and the teachers appear to have a close working relationship that, to parents at least, appears to be one of support and cooperation. The staff here cares immensely about the students and the school exudes the feeling of a community. It is an open and caring environment.

Lastly, I want to mention the school's focus on character. While not a magnet school, it shares certain characteristics of one. The school has a strong focus on building character. Respect, responsibility and kindness are the ideals of the school, and students are rewarded for demonstrating these traits. Our girls come home talking about how they can be good citizens. How they need to treat others with respect. How they need to be responsible. How they should be kind to others. And while it is not the school's job to teach these traits, it is certainly nice, as a parent, to have these lessons reinforced in an academic setting.

I feel very blessed to have my daughters attend this wonderful little school. It is quite the gem.

I really appreciate the effort my son teacher gives, I'd wish she'd be more personable but she's not nevertheless he's learned so much there.
