The 1987 Plan in Willow Ridge by Holt Homes
Beaverton, OR 97007

I used to go to Hazeldale elementary around 2006-2012, and passed my entire 6 years in elementary at the school. I have started and graduated from school in the BSD. Back then, it was a lovely, quaint school with a great and caring staff who communicated with parents, wanted to see their students succeed, and placed the well-being of the children above all else. I am disappointed to say that this has drastically changed for my niece and nephew who we just recently had to PULL and TRANSFER from the school due to negligence and cruelty on part of the staff and other students. My nephew has been relentlessly bullied on the bus, and the school has done little to nothing to stop it. His sister has had to step in on multiple occasions to defend him because the adults around them will not. He had items stolen from other children that the school nor the families have replaced, and he has received actual, visible injury from the altercations that occur on these instances. On top of this, recently on parent-teacher night, his teacher had no kind remarks to say about him, nor did she care to visit with his mom for the full allotted time she was supposed to. She only spent the time insulting him and putting him down in front of his mother, and started their meeting late. She spent the time criticizing his academic performance rather than creating a plan to fix it. While I understand the stress that teachers face as both of my teachers have taught in the BSD for decades, it is also pertinent to treat the students who are struggling with respect and care so that they do not slip through the cracks. My nephew has ADHD is known to be hyperactive, but he is also incredibly smart and sweet. With the teaching and harassment he has received this year, his self-esteem has never been lower. The school could not care less, nor could his now former teacher. This is not a place I would ever consider sending my children, as they no longer care to foster an environment of learning for children with ALL types of needs as they should. I am so sad to see that this is what the school has become after myself and my siblings all had wonderful experiences there in years past. Now we are left to pick up the pieces of damage that the faculty member has caused, as well as the neglect on behalf of the school with my nephew’s bullying situation. I can only hope that no other child faces these circumstances, and the school can learn to care more about its student body.

I liked that school it was fire

Our experience with Mountainside High School has been overwhelmingly positive. From the moment our son started at this school, we've been impressed by the level of support and dedication the staff shows towards each student's academic and personal growth.One of the standout features of this school is its inclusivity and the variety of opportunities it offers. Our son has had the chance to explore various interests, including participating in high school and club sports teams as well as having an opportunity to choose from a wide range of extracurricular clubs. Parent involvement is highly encouraged but not mandatory, which strikes a great balance. It allows parents to engage as much or as little as they wish, while still having their child benefit from the school’s extensive resources and programs. The opportunities for involvement are numerous, and the more you put into it, the more rewarding the experience can be.Overall, we are very impressed with Mountinside and feel confident in recommending it to other parents. If you’re looking for a school that supports diverse interests, fosters academic growth, and offers a variety of extracurricular opportunities, this school is an excellent choice.
