We purposefully transferred in from a different district before we moved to the area. We LOVE the school! Mrs. Simon is in her 2nd year as Principal and has been an amazing positive influence on the school. The teachers are truly invested in the kids' success and bullying (from what I know) has been addressed very well. It's the perfect small town within a large district.

I went to this school 4th-8th and graduated around 1960. Of course this was before the world took on so many mean qualities. I graduated high school 1964. My dad was a soldier at Fort Riley.

No good comments! They are "against bully" ? I don't think so! It's very sad that a small school have big problems and don't do anything about it.

I am a military soldier and I'm very dissapointed with this school. My kid is always complaining about being bullying by teachers. I went there and nobody did anything. Now we'll do something about it. Please get to know the school first before enroll your child there. Probably they have good teachers and staff there but isn't everybody.

My son went to school from Kindergarten to mid-third grade. I say mid because I pulled him out half way thorugh the year. Older boys were bullying him to the point of emotional shut down and when I approached the princple and told him the boys names he advised me my son would have to pick these boys out and tell him from his own mouth about it. It continued and got worse. One boy stabbed my son with a pencil. I discussed this with the pricniple who ensured my son's safety and that the other student had received a deserving punishment. The next week the other student was back in school and stabbed my son again. At this point I had a meeting with the princple and teachers who advised me they could not suspend the student from school because this was not a pattern. When I pulled my student out of school in fear of his safety, the school called me to tell me they were reporting me to Social Services because my child was truant. I advised them my legal council was involved as they failed to protect my child. This principle cares nothing for these children only for accolade of his own ego. The principle is the problem at this school. DO NOT let your children attend this school

Being a teacher, I expect a lot from the schools my children attend. The principal is wonderful. We had technology in our classrooms way before some of the other schools in the district. The school is inclusive and students are taught in the least restrictive environment, which is the way it should be. It is very refreshing to see that the students accept each other for their abilities and disabilities. Some of the teachers are experienced and some are new. All work together to meet the needs of the diverse student population as well as the needs of the staff. We moved this year and still send our children to Ogden because of the excellent teachers and administrator. The school was remodeled this year and looks incredible!
