This review is based entirely on my personal experience as a parent, and it has been extremely upsetting. In my view, the principal and administration at Transit Middle School do not handle bullying concerns in a supportive or proactive way. When I raised issues, I felt as though the principal minimized the situation rather than addressing it. From my perspective, this created an environment where bullying was not taken seriously—especially when the child being targeted was “different” in any way.If your child is curious, expressive, or simply not the kind of silent, unquestioning student the school seems to expect, this may not be a healthy environment for them. I saw very few meaningful accommodations, and concerns about student safety and well-being often felt dismissed. The long-standing staff and leadership appear unwilling to change or truly support students who don’t fit their narrow expectations.In my experience, this school was not a safe or supportive place for a child who stands out, and I would strongly urge other families to be cautious before enrolling here. They deserve zero stars.

Country Parkway is an excellent and exceptional school. The PTA puts on so many events for families and students. Classrooms have a manageable student to teacher ratio and are well equipped with new technology. All staff from the Custodians, school nurse, teachers and office are friendly, caring and genuinely want to be a part of the school. We feel so lucky to be apart of CP elementary!

I was a student at East and I can honestly say that it was nothing like the cliche that appears in every high school movie. Everyone was so genuinely nice, especially the teachers. It's very free and allows much independence to the students, letting them decide when to have lunch, what to do. It's a huge responsibility, but the teachers and faculty help. The music department is the best in the school district with Mr. Moose with the orchestra and Doc with the band. There are so many clubs and extracurriculars to fill up your time, and you have to prioritize wisely. It's an amazing school overall and I'm so happy to have been part of East history.
