I'm a 5th grader at the school and I have been going since it opened. The school is AMAZING!I think…read morepeople should give the school a better chance, especially since it is a new school! The teachers and other staff are perfection! Sure the playground could use some work, but that is why they added a SPORTS COURT! I understand at first if your children wanted room to run, but the school fixed that! So don't pick on the school!

The school could do better and be better. Some of the teachers and staff were great and some others…read morenot so great! After several years, the school has gone down hill. I wish I had pulled my kids from this school and kept them all in public and/or private school. My son(middle schooler) told me that bathrooms were disgustingly dirty and being locked during classroom lesson time because some middle school kids were caught in the bathrooms doing inappropriate things to each other. God forbid an elementary child walks into that! Kids caught with vape pens. The middle and elementary grades should definitely be separated but because the campus is so small, that that would be impossible. And their classroom students to teacher ratio(30+ students to 1 teacher) is terrible! Their recess area that they call a playground is a joke. It was broken most of the school year. Only certain policies are followed and some ignored. I mean, I could keep going on about what needs to be addressed but then I'd have to write a novel! If you choose to enroll your child/children into a charter school. I highly do NOT recommend this campus!

**NO STARS** I am…read moreonly adding a start to this review because it is the only way that I can't post my experience! My children and I are new to this school but we've been apart of CCSD for about 4 years now and the 3 weeks of school so far have been the worst experience when it comes to dealing with the office staff! The school we came from worked so efficiently that it is literally giving me aneurysm daily to deal with these people! 1. School starts at 8:00 but they CLOSE AND LOCK the gates at 7:58 every morning! Here's why that is an issue. For one the gates only open at 7:40. So if your closing the gates early your giving SEVEN GRADE LEVELS of children and parents about 18 mins to get on campus and to class. AND THERE IS NO GRACE PERIOD! But here's the catch, you can easily sit in the drop of line to drop your kid off for 5-10 mins because the staff "monitoring" the drop off are doing all but that! So you have parents at the front of the line almost completely getting their kids ready out of the car in the drop of line holding everyone up, and no one is saying anything! But when you sit there for 5 mins because you can't reach the point to safely let your child out of the car, they have no problem knocking on your window telling you to now get out of line, park, and go inside to sign your student in late! Also this morning in particular, since this has happened a few times, I actually walked my kids to school because I've had issues in the drop off line, I told the staff at 7:58 am IN THE OFFICE (and this is after I walked from the closed gate on the south side of the school) that I would not be signing the form because my child was not late and she literally told me "don't worry we'll fill it out for you". I'm sorry but I do not recall signing anything that said if I REFUSED TO SIGN, the front office staff had authority to ignore me and to sign on my behalf! 2. The power trip and condescension. I read other reviews before posting mine about someone who stated they were hung up on multiple times. The first week of school I needed my son's teachers contact information because she was new to the school and hadn't been completely set up so I called the front office. When they initially answered the phone, I was immediately put on hold for more than 5 minutes, which I understood being the first week! HOWEVER I am a parent just as the people in the office are so if I had to wait my turn to be helped once you pick up that phone, I should be helped. I asked for the contact information, the woman who answered the phone directed me to where she believed the information was, and when I told her that I was having no success locating it and requested that she please give it to me. She told me that it was too busy in the office and I would have to hold. She did not ask me did I mind being on hold or if I could hold, she made a statement and immediately threw me on hold before I could respond. Mind you I had already been on hold for over 5 mins waiting my turn and when she picked up the phone she did not truly address my concern! I called back six times before someone else picked up the phone and decided to help me because apparently she must've known that it was me calling back because each one of those calls no one spoke, the phone was picked up, there was no greeting spoken, and it was placed on hold immediately! Additionally, there is an older blonde (white at this point) in the front office that I am almost 100% sure was the Regina George of her time! She will smile and have a chippery tone but what comes out of her face is condescending and rude! Not sure if she was the one that I had the issue over the phone with or if it was the Hispanic lady that is new and doesn't have a clue ‍ but something has to be done! I am in contact with the school district to hopefully make a difference but if someone from the district happens to see this, please run an attendance report for the first 3 weeks of school on every grade! I can almost guarantee the numbers are disgusting because your staff could do better! This is an elementary school NOT a Jr. High, middle, or high school! These children are still reliant on their parents and your making things hard for the parents and penalizing the children in the process!

Sandra Thompson has been an amazing school for my entire family. I have always been greeted with…read morekindness, the office manager always surprises me, she seems to know so many kids by name, now I think that says a lot. Now have I walked into the office and encountered rude people...yes but not coming from the staff its the other side of their counter. I was taught, and I always teach our children ...treat people the same way you would like to be treated. I just think this is a better way to try and come together as one. What I do like a lot is they are strict with checking ID's, doors staying locked, I can go on with my business knowing that my children and all students are safe while I am away. Maybe when we are having a bad day, we should think about it like that. Our kids safety and how everyone inside the school is doing their part to keep our kids safe! I have not had any issue with any of my children's teachers either, look no teacher is the same personality, you like some better than others, but they all are doing their job to educate our children the best to their ability. This Principal is new, but I always see her greeting the parents, and children. My son tells me she is always giving incentives to the students to help motivate them, heck I never was crazy about school but I wouldn't tell my children that. lol I think Sandra Thompson Elementary is a wonderful school and I am proud to be involved with the PTA, fundraisers, and anything to help out to make this world a better place !
