Leman Classical Academy

We have attended this school since pre-k and we are excited to go back for another year. We have a kiddo with special needs, and the whole school is involved in the best way possible. The Special education team is amazing, we have been working with Mrs Watson( case Manager) and several other team members and we have been very satisfied in the involvement and the integrity they have taken to make sure that my child's needs are met and upheld all year long. the principals- Mrs. Landis and Mr. Yardley are amazing they are always greeting each student by name, they attend the Special education team meetings and have input into the curriculum that they expect their teachers to implement and they do so with the knowledge that they are indeed being implemented. I was told that the principals block certain days to observe in classrooms and have seen it happen while volunteering at the school. The Administration team in the front office is amazing and also know the students and greet them by name. This school is amazing overall Academically,emotionally, and really utilize the resources available to them to implement a safe and educational environment for their family, students and staff.

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.

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.

We moved here from a state where there is no school of choice so I was very overwhelmed. I decided to give our neighborhood school a try because I am a strong advocate for public schools. I cannot say enough about the amazing experience we had at Mountain View. I have never felt such a strong sense of community and belonging. The PTO does a fantastic job working with the school and holds wonderful events and fundraising opportunities. The staff all truly care for the students and go above and beyond for them. My daughter did not qualify for speech but they still took extra time to work with her on the few areas she was weak in and now she is thriving! My daughter loves coming to school everyday and cries when she has to stay home sick because she misses her teacher. Academically there is no score for this school because state testing does not begin until 3rd grade and they are only K-2, but you can look up Northeast (their sister school down the road) who houses 3-5 and see how amazing the test scores are. We are so grateful for this school and community.

In my many years in education, I have worked in several different buildings in DCSD and surrounding areas. The leadership, teachers and staff at Gold Rush are unparalleled. Every member of the Gold Rush family strives to provide the highest level of education to all students. It is an incredibly collaborative, dedicated, and talented staff. GRE truly tailors instruction to the needs of each student, with ample supports and extension opportunities. My own children had the very best experience at Gold Rush and were highly prepared for middle school, with both participating in accelerated coursework. Even more importantly that the academics, the staff makes every student feel connected and capable. The administrators know all students by name and the staff truly sees all students as their students. GRE is truly a gem.
