Queenstown Primary School

My children have been here for 5 years now. There is no testing at this school, or any teaching that aligns with any kind of national standard, we're constantly having to fill our children's educational gaps in our own time or with supplemental tutoring, or working through ICAS exams on the weekend. The school does have an ICAS program, but by that they only administer the exam (you have to even bring your own device). Subsequently the quality of math/english/science of the students at this school is very low. High staff turnover, from what I understand the environment is not the one where high performing teachers thrive and hence they either leave or become burnt out. Its very sad as a simple management switch would make a huge difference. Teachers having meltdowns in front of the students are a weekly occurrence.
