Both our children enjoyed attending school here.

When we first moved to this district, I will say we were much more pleased than we are today. Leadership and administration were much better and teachers were much kinder and genuinely cared about the success of their students. Things have changed and although some children are able to get through the school day easily and without difficulty, that has not been our experience. The school administrators and some (not all) teachers have begun actively discriminating against students with less visible disabilities. Overall if the district had been this bad when we started here, we never would have moved here.

My child attends this elementary school. I am very pleased with the overall experience. My child enjoys going to school. He is happy with his teachers and does require the extra help of reading and speech aides. So far this has been a positive experience. They work hard on teaching children kindness and non violence to solve their differences. I often volunteer at the school and I feel like they have it very well maintained and the teachers love their job. There is often a police officer in the school for safety. They have drills and practice safety for all scenarios. They also just got approved to build an additional gymnasium on for more space. The building itself is old but well maintained for its age. I would recommend this school and community to anyone considering moving here. I am also a graduate of Plains and I came back to the district for a reason. It's a nice place to raise children.
