Livsey Elementary School

I am both a parent of a current Evansdale student and an alumnus of the school, and I can say that Evansdale is an excellent school on multiple fronts. It is truly a community school - lots of school events (International Night, Eagle Trek, Hispanic Heritage Night, Black History Month Program, Art Night, Jump Rope for Heart, Book Fair, Spirit Nights at verious local resturants, Career Day, Cupid Shuffle Valentine's Dance, etc.), a very diverse and inclusive student body, many parents whom were students staying in or moving back to the neighborhood, good parental involvent in the PTA, and of course the STEM curriculum and French Immersion program track (Students learn half of their day in French and half in English). There are various athletics offered to students in the upper grades and many clubs including Robotics, Science Olympiad, Kilometer Kids, Chess Club, Dance, and many more. Students seem to be happy and friendly. The school generally handles any issues well. They are doing a wonderful job of providing a well-balanced education. My daughter loves to go to school, and after breaks, she is super excited to be going back to school. I have been very happy as a parent, and I would recommend this school to anyone who would like their student(s) to get a good education in a diverse, inclusive, and active community.

My daughter has been going to Brockett elementary since kindergarten and also after school. I have never had to help her with homework maybe about three times. She always gets extra support in after school. Mrs. Mckbinns the librarian is awesome even the custodian Mrs.V is amazing. It’s definitely a small school with a family vibe. No fights that I know of ever and they take bullying very serious. My daughter is an A student.

Run, don’t walk, away from this school. The climate of this place is dreadful. The way teachers scream at these poor kids is beyond upsetting. The previous principal really ruined this place. She allowed teachers to say whatever and act however they wanted and our children are paying the price. There are a few good teachers, but the majority of them are just downright mean. Enter in school choice or go private if you can. This place is not good for kids.

As a parent, there’s nothing more important than knowing your child is in a place where they feel supported, safe, and excited to learn—and that’s exactly what Pleasantdale Elementary has given my family. The teachers here are truly one of a kind. They respect and support my child, always encouraging them to reach their full potential. Pleasantdale doesn’t just care about academics—they care about the whole child. My child knows they have adults at school who truly listen and understand their feelings, especially the school counselors Ms. Adams and Mr. Moore! Knowing my child is in a safe environment where they’re free from harm and treated with kindness gives me peace of mind every day.

The pre-k program is so wonderful. My child is thriving with these wonderful teachers. The principal cares deeply about the school. The teachers are excited to be there, responsive, and kind. My child has learned so much the past year!
