Our family came from homeschooling at a point when we were feeling disconnected from community and worn out from trying to accommodate three different learning styles. In looking for a school, one of our highest priorities was for our each of our kids to be seen as a whole person, not just a name or GPA. We wanted them to make friends and thrive as humans while learning. Our family's experience at Aldo has exceeded our hopes not only for our kids, but for us as a family. Our whole family has benefited from being part of the Aldo community in that we've all made friends and found a place where we can be ourselves and share our talents. The care and attention that the teachers have shown each of our children brings me to tears. They know their personalities and strengths and weaknesses and do their best to help them connect to learning in ways that work for them. The relationships that they build with the students makes it easy for kids to ask for help when they need it not only academically but also in their personal lives. I have seen our kids grow in confidence and skill over the years we've been at Aldo. Our eldest was so nervous about moving to public school and there were many tears, but now she says it was one of the best things that we've done. She is now thriving in high school, and I credit a lot of that to her time at Aldo. Our middle child really struggled her first year, but one of the counselors was intentional about helping her make friends and checking on her if I let her know she was having a rough morning. Knowing that someone was looking out for her really calmed my own fears and made me feel confident she would make it through. She feels so much more comfortable at school and loves her friends and teachers. Our youngest has really grown in his reading skills and is discovering an aptitude for math that I was not equipped to foster when I was homeschooling them. Teachers partner with parents to do the very best for the kids and help them become awesome human beings.I cannot say enough about how much our family loves and appreciates Aldo Leopold Community School!

This school is so great. The teachers have all been kind and communicate with me regularly. The additional staff I have interacted with are all kind and take time to know the students too. The principal has even gotten her dog trained as a therapy animal! The program is IB, so the children start learning Spanish as soon as they start school. Every year with the combined efforts of the teachers/administration and parents supporting the students, the test scores are going up. They make sure to keep families involved too. There are many opportunities to go to the school to have activity days with the children (tie dying shirts, concerts, and joining in for PE are some I've been to). They have two show choir teams and every extracurricular class is enjoyed by my child. They also are able to do community things as well. When I first moved to the neighborhood I got a gift of a painted birdhouse from a kindergartner. And my son has gone to the elderly care home around the corner multiple times to bring art/flowers. I truly cannot say enough good things.

I worry about the constant disruption of unruly students that seem to have no Consequences. My daughter is a great student and loves to learn, but the stories she tells about behavior in the classroom is shocking. Something more has to be done. I worry for her education. It would be very hard to change schools.

This is the High School to go for the IB program. Teachers are there because they want to be there. It is a very diverse school and best trains students to exist in the world. One third of students go to the UW system and half go to the Technical College. What is wrong with that? No AP classes because this is an IB school.

The new principal has no idea what she is doing and is running the school into the ground.
