Great elementary school for my soon to be 8 year old so far. She was welcomed into the after school program on the first day of registration which is a blessing. She informed me that she made friends at the school and students at this school have been nice as well as teachers. School is close to home which makes it convenient to drop off and pick up. After school program teachers are great as well. Two staff members in the front office are very helpful, nice and also do give great feedback if your asking them and makes you feel welcomed which I loved. The school does offer family activities and send out information to parents. They are here to help our little students learn and achieve greatness.

The teachers that my son have interacted with have been good to him and us. However, every time I'm up there to get him or attend an event, there's always a teacher in the hallway fussing and yelling at the kids. These children are younger than my son. I feel that if you aren't able to handle and/or tolerate these young children, then teaching is not the profession for you! It angers me and breaks my heart to see these "teachers" fuss and yell at these children simply because the line isn't straight enough or they are talking with each other. News flash: they are children, very YOUNG children at that. They are not yet perfect. It is your job to make them perfect and teach them the right ways and proper way of doing things. Yelling at them in such an environment disrupts their learning and they no longer want to follow your direction!

My son attended this school in their PPCD program last year. I absolutely LOVE his teacher & her aid but the rest of the school I could do without. I pulled my son after a terrible ARD in which the vice principal pretty much let me know that my child was a low priority. At the end of the school year, my son had just turned 4. His reading level was assessed at third grade & his IQ was 145. He has a speech delay which his doctors think is a condition known as Einstein Syndrome. When I brought this to the principal's attention & asked that he be offered SOME form of academics the following year, she & the school psychiatrist basically said "So what?" Then they acted surprised & ticked when I pulled him from the program! Their Autism "experts" decided my son was Autistic based on a checklist they were handed & inappropriate situations they put him in, setting him up for failure. They completely ignored statements from his doctors to the contrary..We thank God we were able to scrape the money together to put our kids in private school.

I have three children that come to this school. It has its ups and downs but what school doesn't. As the school sees the problem they handle it very quickly and do not hesitate to inform parents of situations. Mrs. Daley has my 4th grader in her class. She pushes him to be the best he can and acknowledges his intelligence. As she states often, "There are kids who you speak to as a kid, but your son I have to speak to like an Adult". That is the way it should be according to me. Mrs. Bergman has my 3rd grader. Mrs. Bergman is an awesome teacher who cares for my daughter deeply and keeps a watchful eye on her. Mrs. Nordskog has my 1st grader. Mrs. Nordskog continuously speaks me on my daughters behavior and as always it is perfect. I have noticed some people complain about how the staff handles children by blowing whistles and yelling at the kids to get where they are supposed to be and the kids don't like to listen. Parents want to blame it on the staff but I disagree. If you want to see how your child behaves without you make impromptu appearances at the schools then handle it. I am know for just showing up out of the blue.

I have had at least one of my children at this school for the past four years, two for the past two years. Most of the teachers that both of my sons have had have been pretty good from what I can tell, but the students who attend this school do not seem to care. The parent involvement with the teachers & students is extremely low, so I feel that has something to do with it. I heard of complaints that some of the parents do not even look at their children's planner to see how their progress is going. Because of the lack of parent involvement, I can only give an average rating.
