It is an amazing school, however anything above 4th grade, I have had to resort to home schooling due to bully issues and the SBCSC or the schools inability to correct issues, I have a older daughter that attended darden primary as well and she excelled very well there, my hat goes off to you, and I
Posted by a parent on 8/15/2017I do not feel administration does a very good job with always providing a safe learning environment. Too much violent behavior being let go at such young ages.
Posted by a parent on 8/2/2016This school has some nice teachers however that doesn't make up for them not paying attention to their students. My son is constantly bullied, pushed, teased, he's been hit, bruised, cut, and now he was choked and no one even saw or acted on it. Not acceptable and we are moving to a better school di
Posted by a parent on 3/20/2015My children attend darden. I was very happy with their experience over all, compared to their last school. My children were happy, they didn't have many issues with teachers or students their grades improved. This took a lot of stress off of me. So far darden is a good school.
Posted by a parent on 7/1/2014For Kindergarten my child went to PHM. First grade she went to Darden, and I was not impressed. The material they learned in first grade at Darden, we learned in Kindergarten at PHM.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageA terrible school for even worse people. The experience is absolutely horrendous. I'm currently in 7th grade at the moment and this school is trash. Especially the older students'(7th-8th grade) behavior and bullying problems. To go more in depth, I have a bff who's transgender( go search up this term if you're unaware of it) and he's constantly getting bullied about it. The spinless teachers do absolutely nothing about this however, as they just let him get bullied and say nothing. This school is supposed to be supportive and protective of LGBT students and yet with me and my bff's experiences thus far, the students and teachers don't care for queer people. Another thing, since the teachers don't do anything about my friend's bullying, he is always unfairly in trouble and when I try to step in and help, they won't let me. They also called me and him a ton of offensive slurs and mean words that are but not limited to:Student Review3y ago - Swanson Traditional School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBoth of my daughters have attended Swanson. My youngest attended for first grade, and my oldest attended for 1st, 2nd, and 4th. The teachers are wonderful. They care about the students and push them to excel! The climate at the school is very welcoming. You can tell the leadership is good by the way the staff interacts, and this school's leadership is great! The principal (Mrs. Amy Troyer) is very present in the day-to-day. She led the school to National Blue Ribbon status for the 2021 school year, and that is no easy feat coming out of a pandemic! The teachers are so dedicated and caring! My daughter's teacher even came to her going away party. We love Swanson and have been proud to be a part of such a caring and supportive school community!Parent Review3y ago - Peace Lutheran School
