Terrace Elementary School

There's much to like about this school but it just wasn't a right fit for us. Our main complaint is that while the school seems to do a good job of making sure all the students are meeting minimum standards, the school doesn't have much to offer kids who exceed the standards and require additional academic challenges. When we tried to speak to teachers and the principle about this concern we were made to feel like a nuisance.

This school teaches Critical Race Theory and tries to hide it under the guise of social emotional learning. The music teacher is basically a civics teacher that shows inappropriate videos to second and third graders.The staff does not take responsibility or action with parents legit concerns.

We really like this school and our daughter is thriving there. Teachers, parents, and principal are all very involved. We've been impressed with the curriculum and instruction. Also, their before and after care program for working parents is very good and keeps the kids entertained and having fun. My only complaint (and this is really a complaint for the district overall) is that they only offer a half day Kindergarten program. Mrs. Schaefer does the best one could possibly do with what she has been given, but 2.5 hours per day is not enough instruction time. And the extended day K program offered through the district is a joke; it's glorified babysitting. We will be putting our younger child in a private full day K program unless they move to a full day format before that time.

Great school! Teachers are very dedicated. My kid absolutely is geting great school experience and is making such a big progress each year. Way to go Terrace!

Excellent elementary school with a "small town" feel. Small classroom sizes, attentive and caring staff ... great experience so far. Looking forward to many years with our children at this school. Mrs Schaefer is a fantastic kindergarten teacher.
