Both of my children went to this school, and both had good experiences. The teachers were attentive and I always felt welcome to come and visit. I am not sure how much is done in regards to bullying, but I am not sure if this is much of an issue in the younger age groups from what I can tell.

I only wish the Spearfish schools were as wonderful as the beautiful town. I myself went to spearfish schools and was bullied by teachers & principles all throughout the years. I didn't receive the education I deserved either. I graduated with honors but with a 8th grade level of education from the Spearfish school system. Good luck going to college with only a 8th grade level of education even with graduating with honors. I knowingly sent my children to the same school, in hopes the Spearfish school system would be better then when I went. Sadly I quickly learned not much has changed at all. My own daughter was not getting the education she deserved either. Nothing is still done about the bullies. Quickly pulling my children from this school was the best decision I made for their education and emotional wellbeing.
