North Spearfish

Both of my children went to this school, and both had good experiences. The teachers were attentive and I always felt welcome to come and visit. I am not sure how much is done in regards to bullying, but I am not sure if this is much of an issue in the younger age groups from what I can tell.

Both of my children attended Creekside. We did not really have any negative experiences, other than occasional discrepancies on the playground, and I'm not sure how well those were handled by the staff. Other than that, my only other issue would be how well they prepare children for the transition to middle school. A "no homework" policy may not be the best for them, although I understand allowing them to be kids and enjoy their last year of elementary school. Overall we had good experiences and my children enjoyed their time at this school.
