J. Russell Elementary School

A wonderful school. I worked in the Moscow School district for many years as a substitute teacher, long term substitute teacher and IRI test administrator. I felt so welcome at McDonald Elementary every time I walked through the door. The teachers are friendly, helpful and very on top of giving each student their very best. Now, my children are attending McDonald. We have had nothing but the best experience. The teachers have always kept us informed of what is happening throughout the day and always get back to us quickly. My daughter absolutely loves this school and I can really tell she is learning to her fullest capacity. My son is in Developmental preschool. I feel that even though he is in preschool, everyone in the school knows who he is and/or takes the time to get to know him. He is thriving there as well. Above and beyond all of our expectations!

Logos school is not accredited by Idaho. They write most of their curriculum in house which left gaps in my children's education. Most notably, their teachings about southern slavery are entirely inaccurate. They also do not accept any students with special needs as stated in their handbook. There has never been a bullying policy at this school despite a documented bullying problem spanning multiple generations. There is also documented sexual harrassment and inappropriate relationships between staff and students that had never been dealt with.
