Asbell Elementary School

My son was bullied and threatened to be killed and I found out from my son not the school and when i called they said ya that happened had to file a police report. His teacher targeted him and allowed this to go on and even treated him terribly and when called out on it she always had an excuse. Now they r refusing to call back about fixing his disciplinary record because this incident is on there and they make it seem like my child caused this. ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE!!! had meetings with the district vice superintendent who refuses to send me paperwork to file a formal complaint. I now moved out of state and its causing my son to be denied into school because of this. This school is awful when it comes to communication and will protect their teachers and not students.

My children's experience at Owl Creek has been great. It's one of the most diverse schools in the area. Everyone has always been welcoming and friendly, and there's a sense of community and belonging at Owl Creek. Mr. Craft has been with Owl Creek for several years. He has been a great leader/principal. My kids respect him due to the kindness and respect he shows the children. Overall I highly recommend Owl Creek (both elementary and middle school) has great teachers with experience who seem to care about my kid's well-being and education!

We have been part of the TNS community for almost 4 years now. My children started in the ECE program and have now grown into the lower school. It is amazing to see and experience the genuine care and excitement the faculty and staff have for my children, no - for ALL the children. I am talking from the Head of School to the maintenance staff. The cafeteria staff through the general day to day administration staff who wouldn’t normally know our children. This place knows their names, knows their ongoings and knows their hearts! During this crazy time of uncertainty, not once have I had to question if they are placing the children first. Not once have I had to question a decision being made concerning my children’s safety or the staffs safety. They have thought of everything to care for the whole child... General health screenings, sanitizing, social distancing, safe nutrition and mental well being are all being cared for. YES, we pay tuition, however there are substantial opportunities for scholarships to assist we’re needed. The bus provided for Benton county families is a great help and before and after school care for working families, such as ours, has been a great relief.

We enrolled our son over the summer with high hopes of a creative and loving school environment. Within weeks we saw a drastic change in our child's behavior at home, he was much more aggressive and defiant. We brought our concerns to the teacher numerous times over a course of a few weeks, each time we were told the bullying was being addressed in class and all eyes were on the students. Each week our child told us things were still happening to him by another student, we asked to speak to the to the director/owner and were told parents are not allowed to speak with Victoria Butler directly. We promptly removed our child and he is back to his happy, loving self. I would not recommend this school based on the lack of visibility and involvement by the administration, they could not keep our child safe and we never heard a word from the owner/director. This place is chaotic, unorganized, has poor communication with parents, and we left feeling like our child and his safety and happiness did not matter.
