Klatt Elementary School

Principal talks a lot and I never get a turn to speak. I wish she would give as much energy to listening as she does for talking.

Unwelcoming and cold environment. Staff and principal seemed overwhelmed

I would rate this a 2 because most of the good teachers Quit so i would not recommend this school but the good thing are the 6th grade teachers are good so with the 4th but after all that i do not recommend this school it just depends

If your child is a person of color, RUN! There is systemic racism from principal, teachers and students. Filing a formal bullying report is a joke, the principal will blame your child for everything even after previously admitting your child was being bullied prior to the report. The schools version of handling hate speech is holding a "use nice words" assembly and brushing it under the rug. The principal allows teachers to not teach, just provide busy work. Also, if your child should be provided special ed services as documented in 504 plan and when parents bring up that services are not being provided, principal allows teacher to send an email to the 504 coordinator calling your child "lazy" and then allow the teacher to not even attend the scheduled 504 meeting plus when the principal shows up in the last 5 mins of the meeting, she plays on her phone the whole time. The school does not care about helping the students be successful and make it clear that if your kid isn't white, they dont want you there. The only positive is that the PTA does lots of enrichment events throughout the year.We had high hopes for Rabbit Creek based on reviews/reputation but after a year there, we RAN as far away from the school and refuse to send any of our kids to that school and I highly recommend you do the same.

We moved schools this year do to our move. Huge regret. The office staff at Bowman is rude and unprofessional, that is not a way of greeting a parent or a student especially being new to the school.Will update this review if things improve down the road, as of now definitely do not recommend this school

We have had 3 children attend PNA over the past 14 years, each of them very different personalities and learner types. We have been impressed with the ability of the school to create an exceptional experience for each of them, whether it's their social emotional learning, or keeping them challenged or building confidence in a subject. While it's a small school, my experience has shown that the kids who spend multiple years at PNA, truly leave with a love of learning and self confidence. Transitioning from a small middle school to public school in Anchorage is not an issue when you do so with a solid academic base, the expectation of engaging in what you are learning in a deep way, and the self confidence in yourself, all things cultivated at PNA. Our kids come home regularly telling us they had a great or amazing day!
