Coleman F. Brown Elementary School

Today I dropped my kids off and as I waited for cars to pass the front desk person walks by and gives me a look as she calls me a F*!ing B!*ch . I did not notice that the parking spot I was in was for staff because bit was my first time ever pulling in. I always walk my kids in but have been trying to let go a little so I dropped them off inside the property. That is the kind of staff the office has. If you are not a favorite you get ignored pushed aside ext.

We have been attending Sonoma since 2012. I have had a child attend the GATE program and another in the GEN ed program. Both programs have been amazing. Every teacher we have had has been caring and effective. When I have raised concerns about progress or behavior, I have been listened to and the situation has been solved. Sonoma offers field trips, music, and choir. My favorite program is the Amigos. This program had general education students working with special education students. This program shows students how to be respectful too all people. They also have a future teacher program where students sign up and help teachers on campus. Once a year they host a school play by the Missoula Children’s Theatre company. This gives students the opportunity to act, sing and dance on stage! Sonoma is an amazing site with a dedicated staff.

We’ve had a wonderful experience with Orcahard Owl's Elementary! The teachers are truly outstan ding - caring, passionate, and incredibly dedicated to their students. They go above and beyond to make learning engaging and accessible for every child. My child comes home excited to share what they’ve learned each day, which speaks volumes about the quality of teaching here.The classrooms are bright, clean, and well-organized, creating a welcoming environment that encourages creativity and focus. Student engagement is clearly a top priority, and it shows in the way kids are encouraged to participate, explore, and grow both academically and socially.The office staff is also fantastic - friendly, helpful, and always professional. They handle everything smoothly and are great communicators whenever we have questions or concerns.If I had to point out one area for improvement, it would be the drive-thru pickup and drop-off line - it could be a bit better organized during peak times. That said, it's a minor inconvenience compared to the overwhelmingly positive experience we've had.We’re truly grateful to be part of this school community and highly recommend it to any family looking for a supportive, high-quality educational environment!

The office staff and principal are hostile to parents that ask questions. They are rude and disrespectful. If you raise questions or go to the district about their behavior don't because they will take it out in your child and yell at you as if your a 3rd grader.

My child attended Standiford K-5th and we had nothing but positive experiences with the staff and instruction. Our younger child now attends and has just finished TK. Both of our kids have always been well-supported, any issues we've had have been addressed in a timely manner. The school communicates well and offers many opportunities for families to participate (back to school night, carnival, trunk-or-treat, etc).
