GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I love how the staff makes sure all the students are taken care of. The teachers are amazing and so helpful. I think it's great how the principal and vice principal are so involved and always talking with the all the kids. The school does great always doing different things to keep the kids and parents involved. The communication online with the remind app is great.

I am a parent in the WSD#3 community. I have a son who is in 3rd grade and has attended French Elementary since he was in kindergarten. I was a previous student who attended the district from kindergarten until graduation in 2011. I love the way the school supports the children in our community and gives the adults the oppurtunity to participate in the many oppurtunites our children have. The school has also added new programs to help keep up with certain things that are no longer required in school. The staff members truly support the students and the parents regardless of any situations. The teachers are friendly and attentive to every student and family. My child has grown from being a shy little guy to outgoing and so excited to help everyone thanks to the support of French. The district as a whole has done so much for our community and stay ontop of keeping our kids mental and physical health a large priority while making sure they fully succeed to the best they can be.
