My daughter attends Steele elementary school, and our experience has been wonderful! This is a school where teachers and staff know and care about each student, where everyone works to make learning fun and effective, and there is a true sense of community. My daughter is excited to go to school each day, and always comes home happy. She actually gets upset if there is a snow day because she wants to go! I have watched her blossom and thrive here, and I'm so grateful. The recent addition of the IB program has taken what was already an excellent program and added so much more enrichment. The hard work put in by everyone at the school to make it happen will pay dividends. Furhermore, the older kids are kind to the younger ones, and I see very little evidence of bullying. Kids will be kids, which means conflict will happen, but they work hard to address it and give the kids healthy conflict resolution skills. They also have a big emphasis on inclusivity and kindness, and a good social-emotionsl curriculum. I also appreciate that things like art and music are emphasized/valued and that all kids take Spanish (part of the new IB program). Probably the thing which sets Steele apart the most is the community. Families are invested in this school, and it shows. The teachers feel supported, and there are tons of school and community events that are fun and help bring everyone together. Overall, a great little school!
