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 used to have my son goes here and almost every day my son told me there fights and mostly are girls fighting each other. The teachers are rude and will not pay attention to the students' academic. They blend in with the students using cuss words. There was a video my son shows me that someone record and a my told me that my teacher uses cuss words. Really bad school. I feel bad for the people who has them as a neighborhood school. Well, mine was too but i transfer my son out of there. I rather drive and pick him from school every day instead of hearing fights and cussing teachers.
