Walt Disney Magnet School

Dear parents, please stop opting your kids out of the IAR test. The low IAR participation rate is what is leading to such a low score for Blaine on this website. This website's scores are used on the redfin website (and probably other similar sites) so these low scores could impact your and my house value. My two kids are proud alums of Blaine, and we all know this isn't an accurate representation of the quality of our school.

This school is not recommended. Don't risk your child growth and development by taking them to this school. Horrible

We sent our son here for Pre-K during the 2025-2026 school year and I’m so glad we did! The teacher, Mrs. Gina, is extraordinary. She has been teaching at Greeley for 20+ years and is the perfect balance of firm and loving with the children. I have watched all of the kids thrive under her care—all writing their names within months of school and now on to learning concepts of reading. I love all the family engagement activities at school and sense of community. All of the staff know my son’s name—from the Spanish teacher to the music teacher—and seem invested in his growth. This school is also much more diverse than other Lakeview schools and has the best hours from 9am-4pm. So happy with our choice!!

As a new parent to the district we were incredibly happy to see how warm, engaged and helpful the teachers and teaching support staff, are with each child. While I am not sure administration supports the teachers/staff as much as they should, each teacher we have worked with goes over and above for their students. The kindergarten class reached 32 students before it was split. As parents we were unsure how a teacher would be able to effectively educate and why administration allowed this to happen without adequate support in place. Ms. Aragon handled the situation with grace, kindness and professionalism. She truly cared for and fought for what is in the best interest of each of her students. Ms. Aragon is a 10-star teacher in every possible way! The entire preK/K branches staff is the best elementary experience we have ever encountered. A few excellent educators; Mr. Kyle, Mr. JB, Ms. Moloney, Ms. Koloba, and so so many others that unfortunately I don't know their names. Also the security team in both buildings are phenomenal and greet children by name with excitement. I do believe that the upper administration are good people however it seems apparent that in every school it is parents/teachers against administration instead of working together. Budgets and policies seem to rule upper administration instead of the best interest of each student.

this school is trash. the teachers are mean,everyone is discriminated against, bullying is glorified and victims are punished. do not send youre child to this horrible place to avoid trauma and deppresion. the teachers are terrible, the staff is sexist and mean, and the building is falling apart. they ignore that lots of the students have economic issues and demand 52 dollars a person for field trips that no one wants to go on. most of the teachers dont speak spanish.

The days of Nettlehorst being a THE neighborhood school to send your children to are over. Safety and bullying are are deep concern. The decline begins in 5th grade. It is no surprise that there are multiple pieces of negative feedback that are echoed. I wonder how budget cuts will effect the already impacted school.
