Some of the reviews on here are over a decade ago and not reflective of the time and energy the new principal and vice principal have put into cultivating an inviting, safe environment for our children. My son attended here 2-5 grade, and my next boy is starting kindergarten this year. We have always had great teachers and staff to rely on, and even through covid were able to contact teachers with ease. This is a great school and we are looking forward to having many more years with the staff at Spanaway elementary.

Middle school is one of the toughest chapters in young people’s lives as parents we have to be involved and communicate!

Bad, we would change schools but it would make it harder on us because of our jobs and bus/ drop off schedules.

Bullying is tolerated and accepted by staff. There are no special accomadations for special need children. There is a huge lack of involvement by parents and a lack of caring by staff.

My question is why are they suspending a 2nd grader week after week why are they not speaking to a school counsel psychiatric to find out from the student what is going on

This school is by far the worst school you can imagine sending your children to. Not only is bullying tolerated it is also dealt to the student through the teachers by means of name calling and and aggressive demeanor. I disagree with the no child left behind program if you are only going to pass my student based on the fact that they are assigned to you. My child deserved to be taught how to over come her difficulties not have two teachers continually showcase them to the entirety of over 60 other students. I'm so relieved that my child is no longer subject to the women that this school calls "teachers" for the only thing that my child has learned is do what I say not as I do.
