School ignores bullies, sides with those who isolate other students. They don't care about my child's wellbeing or safety. Disappointment and danger. Especially if your child is neurodivergent or on the spectrum avoid this school they dont care.

My son previously attended Prairie View Elementary School, I would definitely say they are more family-oriented and stay in touch with the parents/guardians. I feel that the school is more approachable with the teachers and leadership.

Honestly it was terrible besides having teachers that were wonderful. The teachers, paras, and students deserve better.

Decent - they have some struggles but it’s getting better.

Fantastic faculty, great communication, and keep the kids engaged! Our daughter loves her teacher and continues to develop and learn. I grew up in a poorly funded district and it's readily apparent that the property tax dollars actually equate to a equally good school district.

My daughter attended kindergarten and is now in 1st grade. I couldn't ask more from the teachers she has had. her kindergarten teacher was a dream and now her 1st grade teacher is amazing. looking forward to sending my other three children in the next few years.
