Springville

Terrible school. The school administrators and staff do not seem to actually like children.

Springville Elementary School has unfortunately been a very disappointing experience. While it’s meant to be a safe and supportive place for young children (grades K–4), the overall environment feels overly harsh and not child-centered. Many of the teachers lack patience and compassion, often yelling at students instead of guiding them. These are very young kids, and the way they’re treated sometimes feels more like punishment than education. There seems to be little effort to understand kids’ needs or meet them where they are developmentally.The principal sets a poor example for the staff. One situation that really stood out was when a student accidentally fell in the hallway, and instead of helping, the principal tripped over the child’s head and then yelled at the student to “watch where they were going” — despite the fact that the child was already hurt and clearly not at fault. Moments like this show a real lack of care and professionalism. Constant yelling, public scolding, and a lack of empathy are far too common at this school. Young children should feel safe, respected, and supported — not afraid to make simple mistakes. Sadly, students in special education programs also do not seem to receive the care, patience, or attention they deserve either.

Son started 9/2025 and must say it has not been pleasant from a teacher level,principal level school hasn’t been able to provide safe environment for my son!

I love this school. My girls are thriving and they’re happy. The Principal interacts with all the children on a daily basis and makes each and every one of them feel important. The teachers are fantastic. I couldn’t have made a better choice moving to this school district!
