Boulder Creek Elementary School

I almost didn't send my daughter to this school based on this rating. She's autistic with adhd so I feared she wouldn't get the support she needs. But, after talking to the teachers/principal at Kindergarten Roundup, we agreed to start her but with the intentions of pulling her if it wasn't working out for her.She's doing phenomenal. She has speech, OT, sped, and an abundance of resources and support. I couldn't be happier with Eagle Ridge and I encourage anyone who is hesitant to send their children here based on the great schools rating to stop in and meet the administration, get a tour, ask the hard questions. I promise you'll be glad you sent your kiddos here.

This is my 2nd time writing a reciew of MY EXPERIENCE so how it can be deleted is beyond me. But DO NOT SEND YOUR BIPOC kids to this school! They will allow them to be called slurs and then when your kid retaliates (after numerous attempts at intervention), they will label them the aggressor and write them up for verbal abuse and harrassment yet NOTHING has been put in place for the family using the word repeatedly TOWARDS BLACK STUDENTS.

NO TELEPEHONE ETIQUETTE, THE STAFFS ARE RUDEIT SHOULD BE NO STAR FOR YOU POOR MANNERS

Multiple children left due to bullying before school year ended. Teachers do not seem to have the tools to handle what is going on. Two students got into a physical fight in class and parents were not notified. My child was constantly picked on by other students and nothing was done. Also witnessed principal holding a little girl’s wrist really tight and the girl seemed to be very uncomfortable.

This school hires teachers for their gifted education programs whose only experience with giftedness is having gifted children (as opposed to actually being gifted themselves), or having taken a minimal amount of training (which does not in any way equip them). Class sizes are extremely large. Teachers exercise minimal control over their classrooms.Ridiculous “project-based learning” assignments are handed out at the last minute, requiring parents to take significant effort to help their students complete in time. Minimal learning is accomplished as a result of these constant exercises in busywork.Bullying is rampant, out-of-control, and is tolerated and rewarded. Victims of violent bullying are blamed and made to feel that is their fault. School administration is grossly incompetent. Do not send your children here.

I’ve been a part of this school community for four years now, both as a volunteer and as a parent. I can’t say enough good things about the principal, the administration, the teachers, and the staff. The principal is incredibly professional and kind to everyone; he carries himself with such respect, and the students truly adore him. The front office staff is always welcoming, with smiles on their faces, and they’re always ready to help. The teachers are kind, respectful, and truly dedicated. They all work together as one cohesive team.My daughter is so fortunate to be at this school. She receives an outstanding education, along with the reading and speech therapy support she needs. I am so grateful to everyone here for their hard work and commitment to giving our children the best. Thank you all for everything you do!
