Not very happy with this school. My daughter has complained of bullying for 2 years now. A student pulled my kids hair, slapped her, and dug her nails into her skin. Surprisingly no video coverage of these incidents, nor did they bring it to my attention. I had to contact her teacher for confirmation who admitted to witnessing these things. Just recently my daughter retaliated and was suspended. The bully who has bullied several students was not suspended when she placed her hands on my child initially. Instead they punished my kid and made her play in certain areas of the playground. Absolutely disgusting! They try to avoid conflict instead of doing the right thing. When I was called to the school after my daughter retaliated, they wanted me to be upset at my child. I asked Mrs Larsen what my daughters punishment was, and she could not tell me as she was still thinking about it. After they made me watch the video (hmmmm now they have video of my kid), I still did not show any empathy for the bully, all of a sudden Mrs Larsen had decided suspension was best. Had I went there and pretended to be mad at my kid for finally snapping, things would of went different. They protect the bullies and punish the good ones who complain of being bullied. We are switching schools immediately! Steer clear!

Horrible school! Dont send your kids here if you dont have to. My daughter was depressed and showing signs of regression after one month at Boyd.

I have seen excellence in my experiences with the administration and total staff at Boyd School. Awards for academic improvement are an exhibit of the high quality education provided to each individual student.

This school has some great aspects, but as a parent to two of the boys, the discipline and education seem to be lacking. Luckily this year they have teachers that work with us to better the all around education.

Boyd elementary the teacher are great ,however the administration need to be revamped starting with getting Mrs. Adams (the principle) out of the school , she has no idea of how to deal with conflict or with parents complainants she needs to realize that her paycheck comes from parents taxes and get some people skills.
