This school was horrible, they split the stairwells by grade, so the seventh grade students had to go ask the way to one side of the school whenever they needed to go to another floor, so that whole year i had to cross the whole school, go up two floors and cross again. Not to mention i was expected
Posted by a community member on 4/3/2026We are super happy with Skinner and love that it is our neighborhood school. The administration has been very responsive when we have reached out, including a class change request and some help with a peer situation. The social justice department worked quickly when our son felt intimidated by anoth
Posted by a parent on 9/25/2024My kid is an eight grader at Skinner this year and I have seen her grow not only as a student but also as a person. Skinner offers a positive environment where school administration and teachers work together to ensure all kids are thriving. I'm grateful my kid has been able to attend Skinner for he
Posted by a parent on 9/23/2024The only good part of this school is the band. The office workers are some of the most incompetent people I've met. They won't write you passes even when you clearly deserve one. The lunch is disgusting and makes me sick to even look at. They expect us to get from one side of the building to the oth
Posted by a student on 10/20/2023This is our second year at Skinner and as an involved parent, I am so impressed by the continued support and dedication of the staff to these kids. Our son has embraced middle school better than we ever expected and is thriving both educationally and socially. We couldn’t be happier our son is there

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is our fourth year at Centennial. The teachers are amazing with many years of experience. They treat your child with patience and kindness. The Expeditionary Learning model allows your child to engage in hands on in-depth study of subjects…and our principal Emily is fabulous! She is caring, communicative, and a great asset to the school.Parent Review1y ago - Columbian Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a parent, a unicorn school is one that feels safe, has great teachers, and a collaborative administration. Edison feels relatively safe, and all teachers we've had have been great — each trained to identify and handle gifted students. That alone makes this a good school.It would be a great school if the administration were better. The principal's strengths are in managing the school operationally, but leadership, conflict resolution, and genuine engagement with parents are not among them. She tends to see parents as adversaries and pushes their concerns toward the (admittedly well-run) PTA. The enrollment staff is notably unwelcoming — in our experience and in conversations with other families.If you sail into this school easily and never interact with the administration, you will enjoy Edison and your kids will test well through the grades. If you're looking for a collaborative administration, diversity, and general empathy for children, you may be better served elsewhere.Parent Review1mo ago - Valdez Elementary School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating Averageur experience at Valdez School has been very positive. It is an excellent school where they truly care about their students and families. The principal is always willing to listen when a problem arises and works to find solutions with empathy and commitment. The dedication and perseverance of the teachers have made a significant difference in my children’s academic and personal growth. We are very grateful for the support and quality education they provide.Parent Review2mo ago - Academia Ana Marie Sandoval
