Posted by a parent on 11/10/2019I had a better experience at this school both socially and academically than any other school I've ever been to.
Posted by a student on 7/23/2017Alice Vail, striving to be the low point of any educational experience, OR at the very least, the worst administrative experience you will ever have. The office staff is very rude, don't count on feeling welcomed here. Coming from Kellond Elementary school where the entire school is cheerful and wraps you in a sense of welcome, it was a culture shock to walk into a building and feel as if I should be going elsewhere. This is exactly what I did. I registered my daughter for 6th grade and received her schedule with missing teachers. The explanation? They don't yet know who it's going to be...two days before school started. I ask about lockers, not doing lockers this year -- too many kids, not enough lockers to go around. I asked about an open house because my daughter is new to the school and middle school -- "we don't do open houses." May I walk her around the school right now to get her familiarized with the room numbers -- "sure knock yourself out." I begin walking her around and explaining what I THINK the flow for the day might be based on the paper. Find the cafeteria, find the classrooms and as I am doing this I pass a classroom with what I am assuming is a group of teachers talking about how bad this year is going to be and how things are a mess. At that point I am done. I have not had expierence with the curriculum at this school. I don't want it after the administrative nightmare I just went through. I got the feeling my child is just another head to count for funding.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageLineweaver has very strong leadership! Starting with the principal, assistant principal, to the teachers and support staff. It’s a wonderful school with many involved parents. Of course you’re gonna have a few families that aren’t involved, they do have kids that are unfriendly, that bully. But the administration takes bullying very seriously. Students have been suspended for repeated offenses. I appreciate that they hold restoratives for a conflict between students. They are also very proactive school. They have a strong PBIS program. My child loves getting ROARS! -that’s their “lineweaver buck” so to say. When a student demonstration expected behaviors in areas throughout the campus, they can earn ROARS. My child loves turning in her wars for prizes in the main office. Speaking of, the main office staff are extremely friendly and very helpful. They offer tours of the school. They’re very hands-on, communicate well, are efficient & extremely friendly.Parent Review2y ago - Myers-Ganoung Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love this school, and I work here on a part-time basis. Mr. Schiavone is an amazing principal, and the dean of students, Ms. Dierksen, is also very on point, and they work wonders with the kids. The school is very diverse, and the kids are well-behaved and happy to be there! Kudos to Bonillas!Other Review1y ago - St Joseph Catholic School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe students at this school bully, they deface school property, and they have lack compassion. Teachers are unwilling to help students with ‘learning disabilities’ - they label and disregard. I would never recommend this school to anyone.Parent Review4y ago - St Joseph Catholic School
