Coming from experience going to this school made me realize how poor teacher’s treat students and don’t care about safety matters or your emotions well being, food was at absolutely disgusting, was overly greased and made a few students nauseous, nor vegetables were added in the menu. In conclusion this school is horrible.

The principal of this school does not care about the children's well being. She only care abut herself and how she is seen. She treats certain staff members badly, therefore she is not protecting them against bullying.

Disgusting school. When Covid hit my daughter peed her pants and she went to the nurses office to go home but the nurse told her to go back to class. My daughter was sitting in wet pee pants all day. When I called the school to ask why she wasn’t sent home especially with Covid going in and they straight up told me my child was lying just so she could go home when you could definitely tell and smell her pee pants. After this incident, when the school became at home learning all I heard was her teacher yell at the children to pay attention. These teachers are bullies and have a power trip over these children. Another time during the winter when my daughter was at reeces she forgot her coat in the class as most kids do. She asked the playground teacher if she could go inside and get her coat and she was told no. Are you kidding me when it’s 30 below our you are going to tell a child no. My kid is no longer enrolled here and she hasn’t been happier. She called this place a death trap.

This was the worst experience ever in any educational system. The leadership is biased and inadequate. I strongly advise staying far away from Naches Trail!

This school is wonderful. My children have learned so much and every single person that I’ve had contact with cares about them. I enjoy volunteering and going to the many events that encourage involvement!

As a Parent & proactive PTA member, Board President ... I can say that I appreciate the school for overcoming ever changing student differences. The Teachers & staff will work with Parents, it is important to play a large part in communicating & advocate for your children. Most important observations I have noticed, there are students encountering constant need for attention ... in which distracts from learning & lessons. Education is important for the students & with schedules jammed packed, us parents need to understand there are times the Teachers & Staff need more support. Children going to school hungry or over tired. It is very trying for the Students, in which can be cumbersome to keep the other students on track. Seeing the school more intimately this year, I will say I support our Teachers & Staff in committing themselves to the betterment of their students.

They taught my nephew about racism and discrimination. He had no idea that there were differences between races until the school allowed bullying of different races without stopping it. He never talked bad about a different race until he went to this school. got picked on by a couple black kids and bullied by them continuously. School did nothing cause they don't want to start a race war.... do not go here terrible teachings....I teach to love everyone, they teach to segregate and hate...

My son is excelled and his K teacher Ms.Ermatano is awesome at keeping him challenged and interested. Sad she is moving. The principal is super involved and PTA leader Kim Summers is amazing with parents and students! Couldn't be happier with this school.

My daughter has Autism and has been blessed with an amazing teacher. Their special education program is fantastic!! I love that her teacher has been a powerful voice for her students and has made such an influence in all their lives.

I have 3 children that attend this school and I am not happy with the overall setup. Their is a fist grade teacher who wears a crown and when she wears this crown the students can't talk to her. My child kept coming home with marker all over her clothes because another student wanted to color her. The teacher would tell her to go sit down that she has the crown on. There was another time when my child was crying from a headache and asked to go to nurse office she was told no and to stop being a cry baby. Then their is another teacher who doesn't communicate at all. I found out that my child was not completing in class homework when she was home sick and I requested for missing homework to be sent to office. There was 36 missing assignments that went to office. I should have been notified when there was no more than 5. I feel like they set child up to fail by doing these things. One of my children hates going to school because of things like this. I have had enough and will switch school districts
