I don’t know how this school could be rated its current ratings on great schools. It is unsafely understaffed, the kindergarten classes do mostly worksheets- inappropriate for that age group. The principal is unprofessional and concerned with climbing the ladder. Special Ed is run terribly- they will refuse any service your child needs and you will have to fight like hell. If they don’t have the therapy staff to provide your child the therapy they require they conveniently don’t tell you unless you ask- no integrity. Would never send a special ed kid here. Most families I know have pulled their kids from Island View/ ASD. Lastly, a tactic they like to use is suggesting your special ed child do half day, this way they don’t have to hire more staffing, but they’ll spin it like it’s to benefit your child.

Covid policies and masking are one of their worst features. Uncaring unhelpful bullies

We love Island View elementary school! I have a second grader in the challenge class and a 5th Grader. The staff is amazing and caring. The academics are challenging as well. It has the most diversity in Anacortes. We will be moving and we will be very sad to leave this second family of ours.

Island View Elementary is a wonderful school. Curriculum is current, level appropriate and engaging for students. They provide so many opportunities for families within the community to come together which has allowed me as a working parent to be familiar with the learning environment my child engages in everyday. I feel connected to and thus have a firm level of trust for the staff, teachers and leadership of the school. I am so grateful for the education both social and academic my child receives from Island View.
