Evergreen Heights Elementary has been a fantastic experience for my family. I was initially hesitant to transition my children from homeschooling to public school, but the staff at Evergreen Heights have been incredibly supportive and understanding of our cultural and religious practices. They have gone above and beyond to keep us informed and involved in our children's education, making us feel welcomed and valued. I am grateful for the positive impact this school has had on our family and would highly recommend it to others.

I would not recommend this school for anyone who wants a good education, especially if you’re a parent who wants the best for your children and a safe, secure environment with a healthy place for them to grow and thrive with respect and administration who cares about their students, parents and teachers.

The culture in this place: people who work here do not support each other or the students.

All teachers are nice and friendly, including the principal (Mr. Tytler) and assistant principal (Ms. Lee). Both I and my child have grew to love this school more and more each day. We are very grateful for the extra work that the teachers have to do during Covid-19 pandemic. They also communicate very well with parents regarding the children.

Please do not send your kid here. They barely have any staff for one, horrible security they let me in without even asking me anything. And they don't care about bullying whatsoever. They had the audacity to tell me my child is sending nudes because they heard it from girls who have a history of bullying special needs kids and nothing was done about that either. Mind you she didn't even have a phone also it was fun learning you guys have a laugh about my daughter getting bullied at your school meetings thats very professional. There are schools nearby that are so much better. do not let your kids be bullied here especially by adults too.

so far, our personal experience has been mostly positive. our daughter has a fantastic teacher that is so well-respected that he mentors other teachers at the school. our daughter enjoys going to school each day. the student body is largely minority, and i would like to see more staff of color. from my observations as a volunteer, the school’s biggest issue is that they don’t have enough staff to address students with behavioral problems. if a child is acting out or otherwise disrupting the class, it affects the quality of education. a ton of valuable time is spent on those students, and that’s a shame. i believe these children need more supports in place, bc they’re just kids. in each class there are a few students that regularly disrupt the class. if there were more effective supports in place for those students, some of this would be stymied. unfortunately, this school district has budget problems that prevent those kinds of supports. as a result, the quality of education is negatively affected.time will tell, if our experiences turn negative. like i said, we have an excellent teacher this year.
