Both our children go to this school. My daughter is now going into 4th grade and my son will be in 2nd grade. We love this school and have appreciated the changes they have made to really prioritize student learning and development. It has undergone some dramatic changes recently including a ballot measure to increase funding but the new building and new staff have been able to really foster a positive learning environment for all levels of students. We love the diversity, we love their openness and communication, and we love the community that continues to evolve. The school and the community are relatively small and that lends itself to a better level of involvement from all stakeholders. Our daughter is on a "talented and gifted" type track and prefers a traditional academic setting so they have given her tons of support. Alternatively, our son prefers more activities outside the classroom and they've been able to integrate active styles of learning for him. Overall, especially through the pandemic, the school and the district have been incredible.

The overall school size seems just right. The staff seems to know the students well and my kid's counselor has been so positive and helpful. My kid struggled in another area school district and has done very well here. The school offers many supports to help all students succeed and offers a robust, real time look at my kid's attendance and grades so he can stay on track.

Drugs are available easily in this school. Administration is overzealous in punishments. The teachers care and work hard to provide opportunities for growth. But that alone isn’t enough to outshine the problems.
