Community Reviews
The school environment appears disorganized and discouraging for students. Communication between teachers, administrators, and parents is often delayed or nonexistent, with emails and concerns going unanswered for weeks. Grades and assignments are not consistently updated in platforms such as Clever

Variety of electives, including but not limited to robotics, ecology, marine remote operated vehicle, engineering, business, Spanish/french, cooking, esports, Minecraft, art, band, speech/ debate, and more.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIn my honest opinion the school has gone down quite a bit and the Principal needs to work on her people skills. My son started out at this school when he was 4-years-old ((7years) ago and they had a wonderful Principal. The Principal that they have now is more into her looks than being hands on with the students. My child has wonderful teachers this year and he's really enjoying school as opposed to last year. Some of the teachers that he had from Pre-K to 2nd grade are gone and the were wonderful teachers.There have been others in between that are still there but it's not the same since the other Principal and teachers left. I'm hearing about numerous students transferring out and I have never seen that happen at this rate. There's so much favoritism amongst some of the teachers and the bullying is also out of control. I'm glad that things seem to be different this year because my child loves his new teachers. The issues at this school are: Being more concerned about passing tests than actually working with the students to improve their grades, bullying amongst students and sometimes from the teachers that have no issues with embarrassing students in front of their peers, and the other staff members being so nasty towards the students ( especially the so-called cafeteria monitors or whatever they are called), and the serious issue with bullying needs to be taken care of asap. Once those things are done then you will see a serious turn around at that school.Parent Review1y ago - Meadowbrook Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWhen I was a student here, I LOVED THIS SCHOOL. I had so many memories and I was in that school since kindergarten- 5th grade. I personally loved every second of this school and every teacher I had was so kind and supportive. I would recommend this school but I'm not sure how it's going now, either way it was A VERY good year for me and it was such a disappointment to ever leave this school.Other Review3mo ago - Stephen Foster Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI cannot say enough bad things about this school but it all starts with the administration. They would lead the example for the way the rest of the school is run. The administration office is so unhelpful and rude and awful that I wouldn't dare recommend this school to a single human just because they would have to deal with the administrative office.Parent Review10mo ago - Faith Lutheran School
