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.

Fantastic school. My child has blossomed since attending CES. I was on the brink of leaving Colonial School District after my experience with one of the K-3 schools, so I was pleasantly surprised and encouraged by how much happier my child has been since starting CES. Everything from the teachers' positive attitudes to the more diverse student population has helped my child excel faster than I've ever seen before. I love this school.

I was nervous about sending my son to such a large school initially but my worries have been proven to be unfounded. There are so many activities and opportunities for kids to get involved, such a committed staff, and really wonderful learning opportunities. Our family is proud to be a CES family!

I do not recommend this school as it is now. Teachers routinely call out and the few substitutes the school is lucky to receive are bullied or abused, which creates a chaotic learning environment. I would send my child elsewhere.

I am not sure why the previous reviewer gave the school 1 star. The principal is omnipresent and is totally accessible. WES is a great school. I think this person had a very unusual experience.

I encourage the parent of the previous review to please contact Colonial Elementary School. At CES we strive to meet the needs of children in a positive and nurturing environment. Please contact the principals, our dedicated counselors or your child's teachers. Thank you.
