My little girl has thrived within this amazing school. I could not ask for a more loving and supportive environment for her. The principal is a rock in the community and absolutly amazing. Her teachers are all engaged and loving! If there is any issue we have never had anything but prompt support from the staff. 10/10!

Serious bullying problem at the elementary school!!!! My child was seriously bullied all year and I have also heard many other parents complain about their kids being bullied. Not enough playground attendance and way too many children in a classroom to one teacher. There needs to be more adults to be more classroom/playground assistants. A horrible bussing schedule that is encouraging so many parents to pick up children from the school, which is causing unsafe massive blocking on the roads around the school. And also, now that the pandemic is over, why are children still being made to eat at their desks in their classrooms and only being able to go to assigned places on the playground? The kids need more opportunities to socialize with other children other than the ones in the class they are assigned.

Sisters schools have always been the ideal place for my children to learn and grow. Beginning school at Sisters Elementary School (SES), myself in 1989, and graduating from SHS in 2002, I always knew this was where I would also want my own kids to attend school. Unique experiences are provided to our children through the intermingling of community partnerships and educational excellence. As a result Sisters' schools nurture the whole child, socially, emotionally, and cognitively, as well as provide enrichment experiences out in the community, such as trips to Seed to Table, and participation in My Own Two Hands, and career days. My first child has been going to school here since 2016 and she has thrived throughout her academic experience due to the caring and affective teachers and staff who have supported her these past 5 years. I am looking forward to my kindergartener entering SES this coming year, and feel confident in any and all the the teachers to provide an exceptional educational experience for them. I am so grateful that many of the students in Sisters have been able to continue in-person schooling this year in spite of an international pandemic, which is evidence of the commitment our teachers have toward serving our children and community.

I graduated from sisters high school and was lucky enough to move back to the area when I started my family. The staff at ses is incredible, they go above and beyond to make kids succeed. It is an incredible community. I have made the best friends with other families and with the staff.

As a past educator and a parent of three children with varying academic learning styles, we purchased our house specifically so our children could attend within Sisters School District. We researched diligently to insure our children would be receiving the highest quality education possible in the area. Sisters Elementary School offers just that! They work tirelessly to meet all learner's needs, implement various strategies to reach mastery and offer curriculum that is hand chosen for each school. We couldn't be happier with Sisters Elementary! We feel very lucky to have the gift of a high quality education for each of our learners!

Sadly this school cares more about test scores than students. Serious bullying problem. They also share information on children without parents permission.
