Root Elementary School

Glad to leave this school behind, have had terrible experiences with the new administration. Have blatantly refused to follow iep for my child. They have not communicated clearly on anything. Lots of aggression in classrooms not being managed. I would rather homeschool than be in this district ever again.

Amazing school. Pam is amazing and all the teachers truly love the students.

We have been at St. Joseph for five years so far and will stay another five years, if possible! Our daughter is extremely happy there, and she is thriving—academically, socially, and spiritually. The teachers and administration are really amazing—skillful, kind, and very helpful!

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.

It’s a terrible school, the staff isn’t supportive or helpful. Very poor management and unfriendly staff. The staff members are related so there definitely some nepotism as well. I don’t recommend this school to anyone. The lack of care they have is astonishing, all the teachers do is gossip. I recommend taking your kids somewhere that’s knows how to run a school properly and has enough square footage to do so.
