Have had my kids in this school for last almost 5 school years now. My scores would have all been 1 Fully disagree due to this school and district treating my student at a dollar sign and that is it. They see that one of my student who is special needs has issues with a few boys on campus and yet even with a therapist saying her mental and physical health is at risk they deni us a Placement request to a total different district. They said the law says the issues at hand says they have to deni us the placement request. It has been fighting tooth an nail for proper IEP set up for one of our children. Our 2nd child is doing ok. There is a few teachers and vice principal which have lost one of good vice principals and a good teacher this year, but still a few good ones that truly care and want what is actually what is in the best interest of the student, being good role models, advocates, and mentors. Also the gates up and police on campus is a plus for some safety, but my daughter has been harrassed, threatened, put down, cornered, isolated, bullied since after covid and back to in campus all year up to currwnt date. Her anxiety, self isolation, depression, weight loss all are so bad that don't see how a school and district "Bethel School District" of West Eugene, Oregon could honestly only care about the dollars that follow the student and keep her here and through this and not grant a placement request to a fresh and safer request. I wish I had the money to move cause I would in a heart beat. Truly sad

This school is an issue. A walking hypocrisy. Terrible administration and leadership. My daughter was bullied all year. My daughter verbally stood up for herself by placing boundaries for herself and they called ME but no parents were called when she was bullied. She was cyber bullied, girls rallied against her, she was made fun of every day, told she was ugly and annoying and stinky, on and on! At the end of the year two girls put their hands on her. NOTHING was done. Students are allowed to wear furry outfits (like dress as an animal) to school, and in class. But you know what isn’t allowed? Hats. Where’s the equality? I will NEVER put my child in Prairie Mountain again. The education is also terrible. Everything they learned academically is years behind and the structure makes no sense. Homeschool, private school, or find another public school. Avoid this one at all costs. Protect your children.
