Stevenson has been my home for three years now. This school really focuses on students and their overall character, not just academics. The whole staff is committed to helping students achieve! The last three years have been hard work and becoming a B school is the perfect representation of how much work and effort we've invested into Stevenson.

This school is a hidden gem. Having come from another district, I was surprised by how passionate this staff is. Their leader, Krista Adams, puts kids first and holds everyone on campus accountable. The teachers are given the freedom to address students' needs using new and research-based methods. The students are hard-working and capable of so much!

Stevenson has changed for the better over the past few years. The leadership has created an enviorment where academics are possible due to consistancy, structure, and hiring high quality teachers. The teachers care about their students as a "whole" child, not just a learner. They teach social emotional learning in all classrooms, provide quality instruction, foster positive relationships with students and student to student, and are willing to try many approaches to meet the needs of all their learners.

My children have attended Stevenson Elementary for the past 6 years and it has been a very positive experience. In the last three years, we have seen amazing growth in the school and in our own children. The principal has fostered a community where everyone is accepted and learning is fun. It feels like everyone there really knows and cares for my students.

This school is wonderful. They enforce anti bullying policies, ensure the students needs are met, and the communication with the teachers is winderful.

I enjoy some of the teachers and staff. However, lots of changes need to be made. I have two children that attend each in different grade levels. They have came home on many occasions saying the teachers cus in class. There is also some extreme behavior issues from students in the class that never seem to get resolved. It's makes the classroom a hostle learning environment, that is constantly disrupted. My kids have always been A,B students that did very well in school. They have stayed close to that level last school year but I did see a drop in grades and overall happiness to go to school. This school is a new school for them so hoping this year is better than last.

I love this school. I have 2 children attending Stevenson Elementry, and they love it too. They have each attended 3 years here, and they have loved each and one of their teachers. The teachers take the time to help each kid indiviually, and will call the parents just to let them know how their child is doing in class. Last year we moved out of district and we drive our children 30 min each way just so they can continue to go here. If your looking for a school that actually cares about teaching your children and going above and beyond to help your child, bring them to Stevenson Elementry!!

I went to this school when I was younger, I was there till the forth grade I loved this school. I learned better in Stevenson then I have in my other elementary school. I learned better in a fun environment then I did in a cram and nose in a book school. This is the best school I can think of for my future children, parents are active in student learning. I loved my teachers and the unique ways they taught me as a child.
