My children go to Mankato East High School. I feel that the teachers are caring and do a great job explaining their subjects. My children have found many opportunities to excel both academically and in athletics.

We had children at Washington for 8 years. The teachers have been great. For the vast majority of them, when our kids had trouble with classwork or social/emotional situations, they helped us come up with a plan to move through. The reading program is amazing. Kids are all able to move at thier own pace through the levels and are supported where they are at and then grow from there. The PTO is as active as it can be with limited parent participation. Pre-COVID, the school-wide family picnics at the beginning and end of the year were wonderful and I expect they will return as soon as it is allowed. All grades go on at least one field trip a year. The older grades usually have at least two field trips. A spider climber was added to the playground in 2019 using PTO raised funds. The Title I reading and math nights provide fun activities for families to do together and there is always free pizza. Our kids never had issues with bullying at Washington. They are a Leader in Me school, which focuses on creating an environment of leadership and excellence. The kids have weekly curriculum on incorporating the 7 habits into their lives. There is also a mentorship component between the older kids and the younger kids. We have had a good experience at Washington.

This School Is Mid Over all People are extremely sexist racist homophobic and overall rude to each other and the teachers don't try and help, they don't do anything I don't recommend this school unfortunately
