I have lived in Berthoud for over 20 years and have 4 kids - my oldest 2 went to Ivy and then my youngest 2 went to Berthoud El after we moved across town. I volunteered in each of the kids classrooms and was very impressed with both schools and would highly recommend them. They have great teachers and counselors who really care about the kids.

There are so many good things going here at Ivy Stockwell. First, we have to brag about the district. One of our children who qualified for an IEP (Individualized Education Program) due to being speech delayed. He started as a three year old and had two years of preschool at Turner Preschool in Berthoud. The staff at Turner Preschool is absolutely outstanding in every sense that you would want early childhood education to excel. In collaboration with Big Thompson School District they provided everything to help our speech delayed son improve over the two years he was there. Now on to Ivy Stockwell. We have two children currently enrolled in Ivy Stockwell and the experience so far has been amazing. We knew that Ivy Stockwell scored the best out of all of the schools in the Thompson School Disctrict, which is one of the reasons we moved to Berthoud. So far it has exceeded our expectations. Mrs. Clegren is our current Kindergarten teacher for our IEP boy and she is everything he needs. This is also 2020-2021 school year with COVID-19 and all of those difficulties. Despite all of those issues she has helped our son excel in his first year in elementary school. Every teacher we have had (Horner, Pfohl, Clegern & Kasprzyk) so far at Ivy has been great. Lastly, we had some issues with the things going on with remote learning during the fall of 2020. I made a call to the new principal (quite a year to move to a new school as principal) Anne Marie Sanchez. She took the call, listened to our concerns, and was very compassionate. Despite all of the difficulties thrown at this district, this school, and this staff they have made sure to keep the focus where it belongs, on the children. Anyone looking for a great community and school I would recommend looking at Berthoud and enrolling your children in Ivy Stockwell.

I would give this school a 5 out of 5 so far they are so easy to work with, friendly, they communicate well with parents and my children are excelling here after moving the middle of the year from CA.

We had a great experience at Ivy! The building is nice. The playground is typical; all modern playgrounds are too safe & boring to appropriately challenge & interest school-aged children.

Absolutely hands down one of the best elementary schools I've been involved with. The teachers there actually care about each other and the community, and most importantly the students. They actually get along with each other and help each other to perform and teach the best they can. They make it fun for the kids to learn. My kids have both told me that they'd rather stay in school through the summer rather than have a summer vacation! Who says that?! Rick Bowles and the staff at Ivy Stockwell including the PTO members and even down to the maintenance crew (Trilby is awesome!) really, truly care about the kids there. I'm so proud to be part of this community and school, and wouldn't have my kids go anywhere else.

One of the best schools my children have been to over the years. The teachers are fabulous! The new principal really cares about this school and he has already made a great impression on the students, parents and community.

We love Ivy - the teachers, staff and administrators truly care about every child. The testing scores are excellent, but what matters most is that my children love to learn, and love to go to school.
