1st grade teacher Prizaznic, experience has been very unpleasant. She believes her place is above that of the parents. School has failed to notify parents multiple times about injuries on the playground.

The campus is great, kids are thriving, and everyone I know who has kids going to Simas is extremely happy with the school as a whole! I hope my kids go there someday.

Wow! Simas is an amazing school, run by an amazing principal, Kristina Baldwin. As a parent I see the leadership pride that Simas has. They are positive, caring, encouraging, organized and professional, everyone from the office staff, cafeteria staff , teachers and yard duties. As a military parent, we have been at a lot of schools but Simas is by far a shining star when it comes to welcoming, informing and encouraging involvement and partnership between the families and school.

Simas Stars! A great school with great teachers. It is without a doubt that the school has involved parents, and a great learning atmosphere for kids. This is a school that stands on it own.

Principal Baldwin, teachers, and staff are amazing especially with dedication to celebrating the students with a monthly Star Pride event for not getting citation.

I am very impressed with simas. My son is a 2nd grader now with lots of health issues. The teachers and staff have made me feel comfortable by being aware of his 504 accomadations. I love the environment, atmosphere, and all the parents who help with all school activities. It truly feels like one big family. I highly recommend Simas!

I have been a student at Simas since third grade, I am going to be in sixth grade this fall. Ever since then I have never wanted to leave Simas. I just love it.

We are extemely happy with Simas. The teachers (except for one that I am aware of) and staff are friendly & supportive of the students. We have a child who started at Simas in kindergarten in the Spanish Immersion Program.. He is going to be a 6th grader in the fall. When I received his SAT9 scores I thought there was a mistake..they were that good. I would definitely recommend this school and the Spanish Immersion Program.
