10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBoth of my children have attended this school. now they both have different issues the oldest who has graduated already has aspergers disorder (a form of Autisum) and my other child has ADHD now they both required extra time and help to get their work done but most teachers and staff ignore that and therefore my children did not do as well as they should have. This school requires 30 to 40 community service hours in order to graduated now there nothing wrong with doing community service but it is something you do out of the kindness of your heart or a punishment to pay fine . I really don't see what community service has to do with graduating high schoolParent Review4y ago - Lewis-Clark Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMost of the teachers are terrible, from what my kid tells me the best are band and munn. The safety is questionable, a kid body slam someone in the head but only got a out of school suspension or in school suspension well it should be a expulsion. They have special education classes but from what I hear some special ed kids are in normal classrooms and they shouldn't because they could get bullied. Barely and parent teacher conferences. The learning isn't the best but the do have high honor so you do get accomplishments if your getting good grades but otherwise most of the kids dont even learn anything. There is 1-2 phycologists/mental health workers but they barely do anything.Parent Review3y ago
