Research Alice Drive Elementary School public Schools in Sumter, South Carolina

“My daughter has attended ADE from 2nd -- 5th grades and has done very well. The parent involvement seems to be high with the PTA doing so much for the children & teachers. She has so many wonderful memories here. Her most important influence though was Mrs. Dave' in Chorus and Spring Fling. Through these programs, our daughter has realized her vocal talent and interest in drama which she LOVES! Mrs. Dave' was always SO supportive and loving! Can't say enough about the Mrs. Dave'! We will miss ADE next year.”

“If you have a child with special needs. Then I stongly advise you not to attend this school. the communcation is poor. The teamwork is unbearing. As a parent I have to spend a great deal of time working with my child everyday just to get the report card marks up.”

“This school is fine for students that do not require any special attention. If your child has any Learning Disabilities, I strongly recommend that you read all the IDEA Laws and IEP Procedural Guidelines before attending this school. My son attended this school for 6 years. Getting after school tutoring at this school is a battle.”

“My child has been atending ADE since kindergarten and is now going into 4th grade. Her teachers have always welcomed parents to come in and speak with them about any concerns they may have. The office staff is always helpful. The principal is the best! She is always smiling and interacting with the children. She is very supportive of the faculty and staff. There are extracurricular activities available. My daughter will be going to chorus this year after school and is so excited. The art program is wonderful. She was thrilled to see her artwork published on Artsonia. The Challenge curriculum is just that - challenging. I was impressed with the depth of the class/homework. My daughter absolutely loves her school.”

“We are lucky people to have found Alice Drive Elementary. Our children have been in the 2nd through 5th grades here and I can't think of anything negative to say about the school. The positives would take up more room than is provided. The principal is outstanding and has been since the day we first looked at the school. We've had great teachers and great support staff. Our children come from a military family and they were welcomed with open arms at ADE. They truely make you happy to walk through the doors.”
