What school district is George A Whitten Elementary School part of?
My daughter just finished kindergarden and loved her teacher. The focus on this school is not only education, but respect and keeping the children active. At even the kindergarden level they noticed my daughter was very bright and started testing for the intellectually gifted program. They also kept her challenged & didn't push. I was utterly impressed with the principle and his ethics! He is the best principle we have encountered! He cares about the children and believes in positive reinforcement. The only problem I have found at all is the attitude of the office admin. She has been nothing but rude to me since the day I walked in the school as not only a new parent at the school but a new resident on TN. She gave a bad first expression and it never got better. I suggest talking with the teachers and/or principal before judging the school on her. Sad that's the first person you see though!!
