7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers are extremely rude and don't offer the students emotional physical or mental support. My daughter has come home crying many times due to the teachers being so mean.Parent Review1y ago - Wade King Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIn my very biased opinion, this is one of the top elementary schools in our area. The current school score is skewed. The equity score is based off extremely bad data unadjusted for statistical variables related to the covid years. Additionally, the Bellingham school district goes above and beyond and they are well funded not only from the State but also through additional voted property taxes. The citizenry of Bellingham prefer, as evidenced by the voting records, to pay additional taxes to ensure public schools have plenty. Renters also contribute to this increased property tax through higher rental rates, which increase each time the property taxes increase.Parent Review4mo ago
