My kids have gone to Washington for their entire elementary education and have truly enjoyed it. They thrive with the hands on experiences and are presented with new experiences. They have gained skills and knowledge that will be useful for years to come.

We are blessed to be able to attend this school. Our child has flourished and loves the STEM programming. As an educator, I’m grateful to see all of the skills and career readiness that students learn with the additional STEM initiatives and programs. We love the staff who go above and beyond to support students and each other.

Our kids truly love attending Washington STEM! The teachers and staff provide a great learning environment that have made our kids excited about going to school everyday. The STEM enrichment is an added bonus to the other core subjects that have provided awesome learning opportunities that don’t normally happen at the elementary level. Washington also offers multiple clubs and sport teams that enhance student interests and hobbies. As a parent, I feel that my kids are safe and well cared. I highly recommend this elementary school!

Teachers are professional. Some teachers lead and supervise various clubs like Arts, Chess and Robotics. Apart from academics, my children have enjoyed and learned a lot from these clubs. Overall great school.

We wish we would have switched schools sooner! Our daughter couldn't be happier. She has absolutely blossomed at Washington STEM Academy. It provides a great learning environment - academically and socially. Thank you to Mr. Ray, Mr. Burden (STEM Coach) and all of the teachers and staff.

I have had 4 children attend this school and have been pleased with the consistent character education and creative learning environments. Being a STEM school makes learning more fun. I often tell people that my kids learn what everyone else does, but they have more fun doing it.

We are blessed to have Mr. Ray leading the school and equipping the all star educators to invest in our kids. There is no temptation to consider private school. Washington Stem Academy is a five star performer!

My children were well prepared for middle and high school. Teachers at the those level often would comment to my kids that "you went to Washington, didn't you? I can tell. You know how to work with others, you know how to listen but have input, and you don't have a 'box' around you. You are a thinker."

Many parents feel their child's school is the best (and that's great!!). But we truly believe our school is the best! We couldn't love Washington STEM anymore! Mr. Ray, the faculty, and staff are top notch! Washington teaches cutting edge academics as well quality character traits. They demonstrate these traits to our children daily. Our kids reap the benefits of quality training. Washington is a diamond in the rough. Our facilities are not the latest, but that lack is rarely noticed b/c this school shines in every other way! Washington is truly an amazing place! Thank you, Mr. Ray and all the teachers and staff! You do a great job!

Under the fantastic leadership of Principal Tom Ray, the teachers challenge themselves and the students to explore, experiment, and evaluate in all aspects of education and life. The teachers aren't afraid to try a new approach, program, or project to teach critical concepts and they do a tremendous job of integrating subjects into a single project. My son have become more curious since attending Washington and is always asking questions about the workld around him. I am having fun exploring it again through his eyes.

Washington STEM Academy is an awesome elementary school. The staff do an outstanding job incorporating the STEM education with hands on real world situations and experiments. The staff has also done great work with my daughter who is on an IEP. When we moved to the district in first grade she was really struggling. She now reads on grade level and is learning to overcome her learning disabilities. Tom Ray and the school are took notch in my mind and I am grateful for the school.

This school is top notch. The Pricipal is an excellent leader and goes above and beyond the call of duty. My daughter has learned valuable PC skills and stepped up her ability level since joining this school a year ago. The teachers we have encountered here are bright, capable, and good role models. We are proud to be part of this school!!

Washington has so many different hands-on learning experiences for the children. My sons have grown and developed immensely thanks to Washington and its very competent educators.
