Oglethorpe Avenue Elementary School

I have had three homeschooled children start at Timothy Road Elementary at various points, and each time they were welcomed warmly and acclimated quickly. The community is kind, supportive, and active, with lots of opportunities for involvement. All three of my children received IEP and speech services- even while homeschooling, and once enrolled they were also able to participate in the Spectrum program. The teachers, staff, and administrators seem to care about meeting each child where they are, and they go above and beyond to help students thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Timothy Road has been such a blessing for our family.

Most teachers stay for many years which is wonderful to see consistency year after year with different children. Fun themes and activities for family involvement from Valentines Dance, Science Night, Hispanic Heritage night, Koala Krawl 5K, Field Day, etc. Great counselors and expanded "specials" beyond what other local schools offer like video broadcasting, Spanish, Art, Science, PE and Music!

We were very disappointed with our experiences at this school. Our kid was not supported only walked through response to intervention and never directed towards accommodations or screening support. There is also a bullying problem.

I would not recommend this school to anyone. This is my daughter first year going here so i have been the most patient with this school but it has been nothing but horrible since she has been there!.. they have kids fighting on the bus, without a adult even knowing, they have so much drama at the school and unprofessional teachers its ridiculous. It's not enough eyes on these kids at all, soon as something happens the teachers say they didnt see it, and they never know whats going on. they have serious bully issues which is a huge safety problem for your children! This school has been the worst I've seen thus far. FIND YOUR KIDS A BETTER & SAFE SCHOOL PARENTS!!!

Our 5 year old is thriving at Waseca! The teachers care deeply and have a true partnership with parents about their child's education and development. We couldn't be happier here.

My twins graduated from Saint Joseph Catholic Parish School and had a highly positive experience. They were able to take part in extracurricular activities like academic team, the religion and spelling bees, and athletics. The academic standards are high, helping students prepare for high school. Their first year at Donovan was very successful, largely in part to the firm educational foundation they have received.
