Fernan STEM Academy

Our kids have been attending Bryan since 2022. We have been encouraged by the supportive kind, engaged, professional, and driven staff and leadership. Bryan utilizes available resources to meet kids where they are with reading and math support and small groups. As well as advance learning opportunities. My kids have thrived. Each of our kids teachers and principal/ VP are actively engaged in their learning and success. All of the teacher and leadership make themselves available to discuss our kids learning journey and any challenges. Our experience has been one filled with collaboration, communication, engagement, and support.

(ACTUALLY FORMER STUDENT) Many schools have been included in my educational journey, but I've got to say that this one was the best. The principal was very welcoming. The staff each had relationships with each of the students. They took the extra time to listen to the students, despite having a rough morning or day. They had plenty of extra-curriculum activities, to list them, they're dance, drumming, drama, stage tech, glass art, fine arts, choir, strings, legos (may be gone by now), Spanish, and mathletes. I was involved in several of these "performance teams", and I can assure you that they'll provide excellent performance opportunities! The overall environment was calming. Because the school isn't too big, you know everyone, and everyone knows you! I dealt with and saw absolutely no bullying problems, and had ABSOLUTELY AMAZING friends! They provide extra help to special-ed students, and have a nice room for you to calm down in! I highly recommend this school for any parents considering enrolling their children here, even though it can be rather hard to... Overall, truly a six star elementary school! MUST KNOWS: -Rivalry with Skyway Elementary -Some teachers have favorites, and disliked ones -No water at lunch, not the best quality of it too - It can be hard to fit in performance teams with your schedules -Has a lot of amazing volunteering opportunities for parents/guardians -Some teachers are not right for your children and you should pay attention to their relationship with them -They have "Artist in Residence" every about four months where an artist comes in and teaches the students

Winton serves students from all backgrounds. Their teachers are dedicated to increasing knowledge and excitement for learning. Winton Elementary works with multiple community resources to enhance academic and fun student experiences during school, after and throughout the summer. My children’s scores have multiplied since moving to this school.

Our school is Christ The King Lutheran Preschool in Coeur D Alene. Our child is in the age 3-4 class. Our definition of "Preschool" in general is daycare with alot of activities. And so that is our expectation also. "The best" thing our child learns is how to follow instructions well. This is a tough age for the Preschool teachers (again, daycare workers is way better descript at age level 3-4). The office staff need to do a MUCH BETTER job at communicating with the parents. Asking us to rate Parent involvement is tough because there's no newsletter, no parent group to communicate with (that we're aware of), only snippets on facebook. Us parents desperately need an effective method to communicate whenever needed. We are working on that. Talking directly with the teachers is vital & positive 99% of the time. Unfortuantely It Is the opposite with the admin staff. Snippits from principal Barbi on facebook contain incorrect info 50% of the time & confusing. We plan to get more involved as parents in hopes that communication (& therefore understanding) will improve. We will update this rating later if this website will allow it.
