My children love, love, love this school and so do I The teachers are friendly, the staff is friendly and so in the principal. My 2nd grader and 6th grader hate to miss school. I never thought I would see a day where my kids would be upset about missing school. The things I love about this school: This school security is top notch. You cannot just walk into the school. All doors are locked and you must announce yourself and what you are doing there to enter. The school offers schoolbucks. You can go online to pay school lunch. No more of this sending lunch money to school only to have it lost or not applied correctly.The school offers speech therapy and wonderful teachers who help with struggling readers.You get to meet with the reading teacher during conferences. My 6th grade teacher offers this neat little app called class dojo. No more notes being sent home about behavior. You just log into the app to find out how you child is behaving. This has worked wonders for my 6th grader who likes to talk out of turn. You can also send messages to the teacher through this app. The teachers and staff and so nice. When my 1st grader lost a knitted scarf, made my her grandmother, one of the teachers there took it upon herself to knit her a beautiful scarf. Of course my child did have several store bought scarfs but nothing beats a handmade scarf. My daughter's backpack was accidentally taken home by one of the special education students. Her teacher replaced the backpack. She did not have to do this because we had a back up backpack but it was very kind of her to do so. At the end of the school year the schools in the district get together to race. My kids loved it last year and we are looking forward to it this year.I cannot say enough wonderful things about this school. We came from Washington state, from a school in Grapeview Washington. Well Minetto has that school beat in all areas, professional academic, kindness , up to date and all around decency.

My kids go to this school, and it's amazing !!!! I have never seen my kids so happy to want to o to school, until they were enrolled here. This school has opened up my kids to new and exciting options.

I went here K-2 and I thought it was the best thing ever. Greeted by friends when I walk in, I want to stay there forever. Unfortunatley, I had to move to The Town of Oswego, leaving all my pals behind. Now attending Hannibal (gag me) I knew I was living the life.

I was very unhappy with Minetto. Very "old boy's club" mentality. If you are new, they are not accepting at all. The superintendent, principal and transportation department were rude, if you were acknowledged at all. Generally the principal would prefer to keep his head in the sand about any problems. Some great teachers, but some very cold, uncaring teachers and school nurse. Parents were rude and their children were not any better.
