This school is the worst school ever they are so quick to tell parents stuff and not actually help the students.

We are literally moving, so none of our other kids have to go to this school. The only reason to go to Osseo is if you want to do the medical program, otherwise the school is really hit or miss. There are fights, drugs in the bathroom, lots of kids skipping, lots of bullying and to my surprise some completely incompetent teachers. I don't take that term lightly, but our eldest has had 2 teachers who didn't know the subject they were teaching. I'm not even sure how they got their degrees, since one had a middle school reading level capability and another relied entirely on AI to create assignments and do communications. We also had issues with adult teachers harassing children with bullying behavior that would have traditionally gotten a child suspended, but it was ok for a grown adult to do. On the flip side, there are some awesome teachers, the problem really is the negatives outweigh the positives because they go unchecked. If you live where you are assigned Osseo you can transfer your kid via the open enrollment or magnet lottery to another school. I'd highly recommend it. If your kid is younger, I'd suggest you skip Osseo and just enroll in Parnassus Prep. We regret not doing that. If your kid just wants to slack, get in fights and do drugs in the bathroom though, this is a solid fit. As for special ed, my kids are not special ed, but it seems like those kids get lots of support.

Ok Elm Creek also has an issue with some kids with emotional disorders being allowed to go too far resulting in classroom distractions and some bullying incidents. 2 of my 3 kids were victims of physical bullying at that school while there, BUT the principal herself got involved to mediate and resolve it. One student got expelled, regardless of the IEP and she moved another student to a different class. I think that's why I would still recommend this school. The principal, front office and most of the teachers are excellent. The teachers try hard and are dedicated to trying to help kids learn, and the ones who don't are not around long. I would love to see this school figure out what to do with all these disruptive and poorly behaved kids, and then their testing results would be a lot better. Maybe this will change with the new elementary school and boundary changes in 2026.
