My son just finished kindergarten and he loved his first year. This teacher was amazing and the admin staff was so involved in helping him reach his goals and develop. He cannot wait for first grade to begin!

Kindergarten was great for my daughter, but after that she complained that the teachers yelled at her, and then came the bullying there. when I tried to ask for help, they acted like they had no clue, nothing was reported and there was no plan of improvement done. It was like no one cared. Horrible experience there after kindergarten. Would not recommend.

Bink’s has been so amazing. We are so lucky to have such an amazing school close by. Every staff member that I have come in contact with at the school has been so helpful, supportive, and kind. They know my children and always welcome them with a smile and words of encouragement to start their day. I couldn’t ask for a better environment for my children.

Binks Forest is one of the worst schools your kid can attend. They willfully refuse to follow IEP and 504 regulations and put their refusals in writing. They put in writing threats to parents. The staff harasses the students and fails to provide a safe educational environment. We have had to get the district and Department of Education involved multiple times for mentally and emotionally abusive actions by Binks Forest staff against students and parents. The Principal supports the hostile learning environment and threatens any parents that report the school's unethical behavior. Although test scores are high, the school is not educationally supportive, and the students must figure out their work on their own. The school allows students to cause injury to others without taking action against the violent student. I've had to take my children for emergency care several times because of bullies physically harming my kids, and the school's response was the reward the bullies and blame the victims. The school is very much a victim shaming school. If you can get your kids into specialty schools, private school or charter schools please do. If you are forced to subject your kids to this school, be prepared for the school to treat your kids and yourselves like garbage for no reason.

Excellent school- a great start leading to great middle and high schools in this school zone. One stressful time when I was told my child's reading wasn't strong enough IN KINDERGARTEN (oh please). Otherwise, nothing but good experiences for my three children.

This is our first year in this school. My daughter is in Kindergarten gifted program. Its a great feeling when she comes home to tell us about another great day...Praising her teacher all the time. School gives me many opportunities to volunteer. Volunteering keeps me updated to things going on in school and I feel good helping out too... I do not feel alienated here...I'm always welcomed by a smile from the receptionists.
