Mendenhaven

Good School Good Community. The city funds the schools well compared to what we have seen in other states.

I am so unimpressed with this school. The teachers leave a lot to be desired. The building itself is nice...but academically I cannot believe how far behind my child is since being there for two years. There are cultural programs.. but only if you are Tlinget. There is bullying happening to black children and children who are believed to be gay. Diversity programs might be better than a cultural program that caters to only 1 culture. The principal is worried about how things look... but she's not doing the work part of her job. Can anyone recommend a better school? Am I gonna have to home school my child?

I went to Mendenhall River back when Jackie Sparks was the principal. An Carol Burrows was my teacher an Rachel Sanders was my speech therapist, also my mentor. I’m so very happy an now my daughter goes there. I have always had great memories of this school, an now my daughter will have her memories.
