School Of Environmental Studies

We love our experience at William Byrne. Our son is in 2nd grade and our daughter will begin Kindergarten in the fall. The teachers and staff are warm, supportive, and kind, and the families are wonderful.Before the pandemic, we hosted fantastic community events, including Taste of Byrne - a potluck where every family gets to bring a dish from their heritage or home. It was truly incredible to see so many dishes from around the globe. I'm grateful our kiddos have friends and classmates with such diverse stories, backgrounds, and cultures.There are a lot of great schools in the South Metro, but it's hard to beat a neighborhood school experience - our kids play with neighbors and classmates in the evenings and on the weekends, and kids run through the yards and neighborhood, which I love.The level of family and community involvement here is astounding, too. Parents are quick to volunteer for events, the PTO, etc. Our son is thriving and looks forward to school every day. I really can't recommend this school and district more.

Hope to see some updated reviews. Left this school and open enrolled to a different district. This school has great teachers but lacks leadership from admin and the wider district.

Good school for those born and raised in this area.

My child attended Oak ridge for one year. I did not feel that there was adequate support for children with very high needs for social emotional support and I felt like it severely impacted my typically developing child’s physical and mental health. After transferring schools my child is doing much better! I think the teachers and staff were kind and really care about the kids but there was simply not enough staff for the level of needs the kids had. My child came home sharing some very shocking stories, language, experiences from interactions with other kids. I was very unsatisfied with how bullying on bus was handled. As much as I liked the outdoor model and the staff at the school I could never recommend this school. It was a constant source of stress for me and my child.
