This school looks good on paper, however, in practice they have really bad tendencies, and communication is the biggest of all. They do not give advance notice for anything, it is always at the last minute. They do not handle parental concerns well, and there are no uniform policies with regards to disciplinary actions taken.

I don't have many nice things to say about Sprague school. My children ( grades 3rd, 2nd and K) have only been going here for 5 months and its been nothing but problems. My children have never had problems interacting with other students until coimg to this school; now every day we have to deal with offensive language, thier personal property being stolen from there desks or bags and when an adult is notified they are told nothing can be done. Teachers and stuff are respectful to parents but seem to drop the ball when dealing with the students. My children are under challanged academically and I am going to try to get them out of Srague school as soon as possible.

This is not a good school. The administration is disorganized and as a result has missed out on beneficial programs and opportunities for their students. The teachers I have are simply putting in time and are not true educators. If you are only interested in appearances then the school is nicely decorated, clean, and cheerful looking. But it is no surprise that the students have low test scores and poor overall long term outcome. If you have no experience with a really good school then you may be fooled by Sprague.

My son has been attending this school since he was in first grade and with every step of the way his teachers have been understanding and nurturing. They also pushed him when they beleived in him. There aren't enough words to describe this school. It will sadly be missed. I thank all the faculty and staff that has helped me mold him into the respecful person he is today!
