Read what parents are saying about Dubois Elementary SchoolMy child was suspended in 1st grade for a fight that occurred that the schools states they had no details regarding. In Kindergarten my child was inappropriate touched by another student in the bathroom, without full understanding of the situation, they immediately wrote a referral for both students although my child was violated. On the first day of school they sent my son home on the school bus although he was enrolled in after school care at the school. No one was home. I found out when I went to the school to pick up my 6 year old and he was not there. The schools response is that they have a lot of students to keep up with. I do not recommend this school to anyone and strongly feel the state should intervene.
Posted by a parent on 2/28/2024Communication could be a lot better. My child was pushed off the bus by someone. The school told me they would figure out what happened and look at the video footage. They kept saying “We will find out by next week” over and over again. Even the principal on the phone and through email said they would find out. It’s been a couple months and they never got back to me. I don’t know how long footage is kept for, and I’ll probably never figure out what happened. I don’t feel that my child will be safe on the bus so we will be driving to and from school indefinitely.
Posted by a community member on 6/2/2023This school needs to be shut down.The practice of racism and falsifying student records needs to be addressed.
Posted by a parent on 10/17/2018I am a parent of a fourth grader. We love this school. This year my daughter is a cheerleader, one of the many things ngs the new principal has brought to this school. There are so many things for the children to do like basketball and drama club. The staff is professional and friendly to everyone. Parents are encouraged to participate and made to feel welcome. I highly recommend this school to anyone in search of a great school for their child.
Posted by a parent on 5/19/2015There are too many issues here to list. I was concerned for my child's educational future as well as her safety here. I took a second job in order to send her to a private school, Springdale Christian, in order to get her out of here! This was after I tried every avenue possible to get her transferred within the district to no avail.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a grandparent I have found Trinity Lutheran School the place where I am confident of my grandchildren's well-being in all areas, They are safe, loved, nurtured, and given every opportunity to succeed. The school staff is friendly and open to my concerns and questions and put their faith into their daily lives. My grandchildren love Trinity and all it offers both in the classroom and through the outside activities.Other Review9y ago - Calvary Academy

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have watched my child grow into a responsible young man since he came to Calvary Academy. He has made great friends and has so many opportunities to be active in plays, sports, music. The teachers have worked with him during and after school to help him catch up in those areas where he had fallen behind at the public school. He has gone from a C/D student last year at CA, to an A/B student this year. The best thing about the school is how Dr. Hinckley sits down with each student, at the beginning of each year, to talk to them about their schedules. He talks with them about what sort of things they are interested? He tries to give them advice and assist them in making choices that will help them reach their future goals. I am so impressed at the personal involvement of everyone, from principal to custodian. They are 100% invested in their students and the school. Thanks CA.Parent Review9y ago - St Agnes Elementary School
