Sylvan Elementary School

Office texts me everyday with news and so do teachers.

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!

We are a small but mighty community of misfits.

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).

Love it! Staff is amazing. They love on the kids and want to see the best in each child.
