This school has fun teachers that help kids enjoy what they like. The teachers are also really kind and supportive to all kids at this school.

Horrible. So bad, in fact, that we are considering private school or leaving the state as the only viable options for our children's educations.

Worst school I've ever dealt with. Principal could care less about students and has the teachers doing the same. Bullying is out of control here and teachers say if they didn't see it it didn't happen. Homework is completely out of control. The teachers don't take the time to watch for kids who are struggling or shy. I will never send my kids back again.

The administration is only there to make their numbers look better not actually help the students learn anything. We had teachers keep our 1st grader from using the restroom MORE THAN ONCE because they had a rule the kids could only use a restroom pass a few times A WEEK. This is a kid who had never had an accident in his life. He had not only his main teacher tell him no but also the computer teacher which caused him to have multiple accidents that year. He now is scared to talk to authority and voice his opinion. We only had one good teacher there the whole time we went there.

I am really impressed with the staff at Snow Springs. The principal is awesome! She communicates wonderfully with the parents. We have 3 students that go here.

I haven't been super impressed with this school. The teachers aren't as aware of individual needs of the students as I would expect. They just do what they are used to without paying attention to if the students are actually learning anything or not. I feel like they don't care as much about the student as about the rules. They have a LOT of problems at this school with kids wetting themselves because they aren't allowed to use the restroom when needed. Not just in one grade either, but multiple. The principal is all about numbers, rules, and about how she looks rather than about what is best for the student. If we didn't HAVE to go to this school we would absolutely go elsewhere. The ratings on the schools testings are horrible for a reason. Snow Springs needs a serious revamp in teaching methods and needs a new principal who actually cares about the well being of the students.
