I have open enrolled my 2 children Estes and we LOVE IT. We travel the distance needed to be part of such an amazing school. The principal builds strong relationships with the students and calls every child by name. The teachers & admin use various outlets to keep parents informed about upcoming activities. The school hosts tons of family events to build community and a welcoming school culture. This school offers special services to all levels of students, such as GEM, Speech, OT, EL, and Special Education. I think every school deals with discipline issues and bullying at times, but this school really tries hard to encourage important character skills like acceptance, open-mindedness, inclusion, and integrity, in order to foster a loving environment.

B+ always room for improvement, but the direction, involvement and kindness is there.

We've had kids at Estes for two years now and have never had a problem. The staff is great, campus is well cared for, they promote responsibility and kindness in the students and just do an all around great job! We love Estes and would highly recommend the school and area to others.

No a good school, I regret no doing my homework on this school prior to moving to the area. They take advantage of parent busy life and treat our children poorly! Extremely disappointed!!

I have five kids in this school, up until this year I would have to rate it a 1 out of 5. I have struggled with principals, and teachers regarding my children being bullied as well as extra attention for my child with ADHD. I have finally gotten the help I've been seeking for the last 5 years from the new assistant principal. She is a god-send, she has paved a way for my children to get the extra help they need and are legally required (IDEA Act) to recieve.
