Our experience at the elementary level has been somewhat better compared to the upper grades, and there are staff members who clearly care about the students and do their best each day.However, one of the biggest concerns we have is the lack of a clear long-term plan for students as they progress through the district. While the elementary years may feel stable, it becomes increasingly uncertain as children get older.This creates a real challenge for families. As students move into the upper grades, more and more families begin to explore other options in search of stronger academic opportunities and better resources. As a result, friend groups begin to break apart, and students are left navigating constant changes in their social and academic environments.That type of instability is difficult for kids. It impacts not only their education, but also their sense of consistency and belonging within the school system.While there are positives at the elementary level, it is hard to separate that experience from what lies ahead. Without a stronger long-term vision and improved resources in the upper grades, it is difficult to feel confident about staying in the district through graduation.For families considering the district, I would encourage looking at the full K–12 picture and thinking ahead to what the experience will be like not just now, but several years down the road.
