Eureka

You don’t get to pick the public school you get assigned, and when you buy a house before kids, and for us, it was just not on the radar. We feel so fortunate this is our neighborhood school. I am so curious about the negative reviews, as I’ve always felt supported and encouraged to volunteer and participate within the school community to make it better. It’s not perfect, nor am I, but if I see something I want different, I work to find a solution. I’d say overall I’m so thankful for the schools in this district, and especially grateful for Silver Beach Silverhawk family these past 3 years.

I like that this school is smaller and the SPED program is pretty great.

This is our fourth year at ACS, and it has been such a positive experience for our family. As a single mom of two boys (5 and 9), I’ve been grateful for the strong education and formation they’ve received each year. The teachers are kind, supportive, and consistently communicative, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. My boys have a great balance of academics, play, and physical activity, and the school schedule (8–3, with extended care available until 6pm) works really well with my job. As a Catholic family, it’s been especially meaningful to see how much they’ve grown in their faith through opportunities like adoration, reconciliation, and daily prayer. Even the volunteer hour requirement has turned out to be a gift; it’s helped me build genuine relationships with other families, teachers, and staff in a way that has made the community feel truly welcoming and connected.
