This school is terrible, a lot of the teachers that were at this school while I was growing up liked to scream at kids and terrorize them, I was in the err and there were sped paras that would yell at me and slam their hand down on the table, they would make kids cry and get away with it.
Posted by a community member on 4/24/2026We love this school! Our son was so scared to start kindergarten.. But since starting here, he looks forward to going every day! He’s learning quickly, and the teachers are amazing.
Posted by a parent on 12/10/2025I previously wrote a review for the school in great error. There were a few misunderstandings as well as other personal contributing factors that did not relate to them in the slightest and unfortunately I took out my feelings of helplessness and frustrations on my review.That being said. I have rec
Posted by a parent on 9/8/2023Chief Joseph is the best school I have ever been involved with, both as a parent and teacher. The principal Mrs. Hart has put her whole heart and soul into creating a community of respect, learning, and where every student feels cared for and wanted. Teachers get to know their students and take a pe
Posted by a parent on 10/31/2021This school is awful. For supposedly having great scores, the experience we've had is well below par. Our kids (my stepkids) both need extra help and yet, don't seem to get it. We have expressed our concerns with the teachers but were told that the scores were "normal". On top of that, bullying has

If your child has an option for a different school choice, I would highly recommend avoiding this school at all costs.Parent Review1y ago - Discovery Elementary School

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy children have been attending Prospect since 2011. We have had nothing but great experiences with teachers, administrators, office staff, PTA, and even crossing guards. They truly go above and beyond the basics. Of course mileage varies depending on the teachers your kids get, but overall, we have found them friendly and caring, with enough backbone to hold off chaos in the classroom. There are several activities throughout the year that parents and families can participate in. Thanks to all the amazing people who keep this neighborhood school running smoothly!Parent Review3y ago - King's Kids Preschool & Kindergarten
