We moved into the district in June of 2013 with our four children. Two of our children (straight A students who have scored in the 90% on the Iowa Assessment) attend Stilwell Junior High School. Let me preface my review by telling you that due to several job transfers this is our 5th school district
Posted by a parent on 3/4/2014Although I have dealt with this school for four years now.I was quite pleased for awhile..I now see and believe that the staff is driven by the numbers..no concern for the individual student. They will say one thing and do another. Rather then give consideration to help the student I feel there acti
Posted by a parent on 2/14/2014From the leadership to the teachers, Stilwell is amazing! I had heard great things about the school while my son was still in elementary, but our experience has surpassed all of our expectations. Mr. Miller is a brilliant principal and really takes the time to know the kids and families - even takin
Posted by a parent on 8/26/2013This school is one of the best in the district. From administration to faculty, to enrichment programs and additional education resources for students, Stilwell puts kids first. The approach seems to be more about developing the foundational learning so that the students advance in a high school set

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageUnsafe school pickup environment/lack of oversight and the school does not enforce the established protocol creating daily ongoing safety issues for both students and parents. Altercations between parents as a result. All schools are busy during drop off and pickup, but Western Hills is especially busy and clogged both within the school areas and lining the surrounding streets. Principal does not respond to parent concerns.Parent Review1mo ago - Airazi Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAll four of our children have attended or are currently attending Montessori Children's House, and we would recommend the school to any family. The teachers at MCH are absolute experts who do an amazing job helping the children grow to achieve their full potential. The teachers also provide love and support to the children and make MCH a place children look forward to going to. The staff and administration are also wonderful. The community at MCH is something you don't find other places, and it's nice to know that the other families are very involved, with everyone working together for our children.Parent Review1y ago
