Bethany Lutheran School

We have had such a great experience here. My kids transferred here when they were in 2nd and 5th grade. It wasn't an easy transition but the admin Karen made it as smooth as possible. My son had major anxiety issues and they worked with him daily, having him work with the social worker, trying skills at home, even reached out to his former class and had them send over signed letters about how much they love and missed him. It was definitely the extra mile. His teacher was sweet, and he has had great teachers each year since. The kids all get along in his classes he has been in, there truly don't seem to be many issues. My daughter had some issues with some girlfriends when she was in 6th grade, but honestly, it was normal girl drama, not school related. They have a wonderful PTA here too that is constantly doing fundraisers and activities for the kids, and they usually have great participation too. They have created a sports network too to help kids doing rec sports find teams within the school, which is so nice and a great resource.

my child has been going here a couple years now, she has made great progress. the teachers she has had have been very caring and helpful. the services offered are great as well (hearing loss, speech therapy, special education resources). Really like the communication between teachers and staff to parents. school seems safe and takes steps to protect its students. School is accepting of our religious views and will not force certain themes or topics when they arise.

Pawnee is where I made all of my great memories. Its a fun environmental school and I really recommend it, Im in 8th grade and I really wish I could go back in time to experience it all over again. Ever since I got there in 3rd grade, everyone was welcoming and I made a lot of friends. We did fun things with and for our teachers. Overall it was amazing and I could never think badly about it. Ill forever be a pawnee kid, and Ill be proud of it.
