Research Swinney/Volker Elementary School public Schools in Overland Park, Kansas

“My daughters only spent 6 months there. I would not refer this school or any school in the kcmo district to any parent. One of my daughters is gifted her need to be challenged in the classroom went completely ignored. Both daughters before attending Swinney read well above grade level after six months in the school my oldest daughter (so they say) tested to read below grade level. I don't know how that is possible when she's been reading above grade level since kindergarten. There was a severe lack of communication. The children were out of control. My daughters said the teachers never taught class, that they spent all day yelling at the students. I wish that I had never trusted this school with something as critical as my children's education. My daughters were let down and I was let down.”

“I had heard nothing but good things about this school before I enrolled my daughter. I am not impressed at all. She has been there since kindergarten, and now she is in the second grade. Not since her first year has she had a stable classroom environment. No teacher seems to stay. The children behave extremely poorly. I am taking her out of there after this school year--and I will never suggest this school to anyone.”
