Best Elementary school ever!! I went there for 3rd and 4th, but covid messed up 4th grade. But I loved it! Better than my old school! The teachers are nice and organized, nobody bullies you, and you only get homework a few times a week! I wish I could skip middle school and go back, or have it be just like Beverly Gardens. They do have stuff they do for special needs kids, there was a kid with special needs in a wheelchair in 2nd grade who learned differently, but still went to the school. Someone said that this school was the worst and that the students work too hard to know too much, but that’s a good thing! And they are still on par. I learned so much and was almost off the chart in 3rd grade math!!!!

They have a serious bullying problem that they don't deal with. They say they have Zero Tolerance Bullying, but they only intervene when there is a fight.

When I went here it was horrible. Im finally moving districts, but while attending (this past year, 2025-2026) Kids threatened my life, called me slurs, and bullied me constantly. Nothing was done. The current vice principal is incompetent, and does nothing to protect your child if they are not white, straight, rich, or popular. I was targeted by two of my peers, and they would bully me, harras me, and even lied about me calling them the n-word after I came forward to him about them calling me the f-slur because I'm gay, and bullying me and my friend. He did nothing except say "Ill talk to them" which only made things worse. Do not take your child here if you want repercussionary actions taken towards bully's. Most of the teachers are great, and they are extremely kind (again, most. Some are horrible to be around). One of the counslers was extremely nice to talk to, but then I brought up needing a 504 and she immediately became rude. The second you make some of these staff members do their job, they become hostile and horrible. I have a friend in this school who was and still is struggling with health issues that effect her ability to do anything, especially go to school. When she was in the hospital trying to figure out what was happening to her, her absences were counted as "un-exused". She was in the hospital, and they didn't care. There is one newer teacher who is clearly prejudiced, and treats gay people differently from others. He prioritizes straight popular boys over " weird" or alternative kids, and straight up does not care about the gay students. My friend (straight A's yet openly gay) asked him to go into the advanced social studies class in Stebbins, and was denied, yet my other friend (C's and D's, straight) asked him to go into the class and was accepted. Again, most teachers here are great, and I did learn a lot while here. Your kid will definitely get the skills that you would expect from a middle school I guess, but it's not worth it considering all the bad that happeneds here. Your kids mental health at this school will be horrible and that's that. Dont send your child here.
