The staff at this school is amazing. We did have one teacher incident but we went directly to the principal, vice principal, counselor and they were immediately responsive and took quick action to rectify the situation. Our child is struggling with ADHD and it is early on with diagnosis but the staff has gone above and beyond to help our child and our family. I am so impressed with the staff and how loving and attentive they have been. The school is very family oriented and very focused on the well being of the kids. I love the overall feeling when you walk in the school its very warm and inviting. This is our second year and we love Collins elementary. The diversity is great here. Thank you Collins we love you!

School district policy 3211 allows teachers to refer to all students with “they them their” pronouns, regardless if the student is LGBTQIA+ and specifically does not want to be addressed by those pronouns. Teachers abuse this policy, referring to students as they them their routinely, and school leadership allows this practice. This sets the tone for a horrible, confrontational academic environment. There are many problems at this school and the school does not do well to address those problems.

I do like and dislike the school only because they do let parents engage and their things. But I’m concerned why they don’t have microwaves for students who don’t want the school lunch and they should have juice and bottle of water options instead of milk at lunch
