Gold Rush Elementary School

My son is in preschool at pine grove and my daughter is in kindergarten. With so many choices of private and charter schools I am super happy we made the choice to stay with our neighborhood school. Both kids are thriving and come home everyday saying how much they love their school. The teachers are caring, hands on & have tenure which is amazing. The parents are involved and we couldn’t be happier!

Oh my child intelligence is definitely improved at the school because of great teachers, there are a lot of issues with his students who don’t follow rules, threaten other students, bullying, and so forth

Iron Horse has been an amazing school for our youngest. The staff is engaged, welcoming, and successful. The school is one of a few I enjoy substitute teaching for as well.

My grandchldren are thriving at this school.

The principal doesnt listen when it comes to bullying or preventing ongoing bullying. My chikd and I were unsupported with several attempts via email to principal to address bullying. Ended up being pushed out and having to relocate schools. Completely the worst experience for a child to go through feeling unheard, unseen and unsupported. Truly awful at best. Base is an absolute joke and the staff are so dang rude to parents and kids. Also very limited base slots so dont count on being allowed in.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about this school, from the administration to the teachers. Every staff member is compassionate, dedicated, and genuinely invested in the well-being and development of the children in their care. Their commitment extends beyond the classroom—they truly care about each child's happiness, growth, and success.The environment they have created is warm, safe, engaging, and full of opportunities for learning and fun. It is clear that the children are nurtured in a positive atmosphere where they feel valued, supported, and encouraged to thrive.
