My children have been to a lot of schools all over the country because of my husbands line of work. Danebo School has been very good for my children. The teachers, office ladies, the Principal and all the staff are very loving and helpful and they truly make the students feel special and important. I love this school. It's older and smaller and the class sizes are smaller than most in the area. The teacher are excellent! Parent volunteers are welcomed and appreciated.

I have had 3 kids through Shasta. They experienced bullying, and continually degrading services by the school. My oldest daughter was even told You must have done something to provoke the bullying". She changed schools after that. Now, they've reduced time between classes from 6 to 4 minutes leaving my youngest with not enough time to use the restroom without being tardy or missing class time. Further, they have taken away the ability for kids to check their phones at lunch so parents can't communicate schedule changes, or kids can't ask to ride a different bus without bothering office staff. Thru also plan to start locking phones in pouches and charging parents if kids lose or damage them. The final straw was the removal of most electives. Band, art, or a better you, are the only electives. Needless to say Art was full so my daughter hates school this year. Add in the jail bars around the school, and this is a prison not a school.

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
