My grandson had an outstanding kindergarten year (even among a pandemic). His teacher was amazing.

This school has one awful teacher, and the district continues to do nothing. In the past 3 years four or five children have had to be transferred out of this one teachers class after anxiety issues including stomach ulcers emergency room visits and even hospital stays along with extended counseling for several of the children. And yet the school district does nothing about it.

Great school! My son was so sad when summer break came, he wanted to stay in school. The principle is great, she makes so much effort with the students. She will personally help children who are strruggling with a subject. It's a very close-knit school. The class sizes are small. And the teachers are wonderful with the students.

One word...Terrible! If you love your children, be very cautious! Not all schools are created equal and this principal and staff prove it. We literally sold our home and moved to another area just to get our children out of this school. Look around before committing to send your children here...worst of the worst! Free babysitting-YES, education-NO!

This is my son's first year at Mason and we have been thrilled with the education he is receiving. There is a small town feel at Mason. Everyone is friendly and very welcoming. My child has had an issue with another student and it was address immediately and resolved. I volunteer often and am pleased with what I see. So far we could not be happier!

Administration is terrible...and worst of all the children are not being educated. Ask around, the only reason they have high test scores is because the kids are so far behind because of the lack of true education that the teachers "teach" kids the answers to the MAP test. Never go by test scores...they mean nothing. The teachers administer the tests, give the kids the answers and it keeps the superintendant away. This also allows the principal to be gone and not actually be present in the building...ever. As a parent who loves my children and is not looking for a babysitter, I pulled my children from this school and moved from this area to another in Lee's Summit.
