This is by far one of the most engaged school districts we have been a part of on all levels. I have found when students or parents obsess over on area, they need to take a little more accountability and have a bit of a reality check. Sports- if you aren't good enough, you won't be picked. If your child is ED, well thank yourself and other parents for making it impossible for school districts to find funding, teachers that will stay becuase of some of their behavioral problems, and a district that has their hands tied for parents who are sick and tired of their student not learning becuase the teacher is dealing with behavioral problems. This school and district had met or exceed all of our expectations.

North Bend elementary is an outstanding school. My children adore their teachers and all the after-school extracurriculars offered at the school (pre-Covid, but we'll get back there), such as art, guitar, yoga, etc., have been such a bonus to their education. My children do well and when they don't, I am notified, right away. I am so grateful for the open and constant communication. The principal, Stephanie Shepard and all staff are stellar educators and caregivers.The Covid virus was a little bit of a challenge but the school is part of a district that has chosen the children's education first and have incrementally allowed the children back in (as of 2021).I am so grateful to have my children in the SVSD. I am from a big city where the schools were terrible so I was always enrolled in a very expensive private schools. To live in such a caring community and have have my children attend great schools that our property taxes help fund is just an unmatched gift.

I don’t really have much to say it’s not a good school. I know that for sure they don’t really have the best staff. I just wouldn’t recommend it.
