Edward Neill Elementary School

My three children had wonderful, enriching experiences at M.W.S! They enjoyed every day of school and left 6th grade with the knowledge, skills and friendships that led to successful junior high years !

All three of my children have/or are still attending this wonderful school. Every staff member is fabulous! Drew Goeldner in his 2nd year at SO is doing a magnificent job. Everyone from the custodians (Terry and Troy), lunch ladies (Tracy and company) Project kids teachers (Nancy and crew) and office staff (the wonderful Nancy Peralta) are top notch. And of course the classroom teachers are the best! Yes, it is very diverse, but this is the real world - don't you want your child to be real-world ready? I am proud that my children have friends of many religions and nationalities. Sky Oaks is a great place to be!

I am forever grateful for the community, support, and education we experienced at Vista View! I have been in education for nearly two decades and have never met a better principal and staff. Dr. Pohl, Ms. Tucci, Mrs. Steeg, Mrs. Gandrud, Ms. Houtman, and Ms. Podratz are just an handful of teachers who have made a profound, positive impact on our son’s life. In every grade level he was pushed to work hard and do his best all while having fun. I am blown away by all he has learned. Not only are the academics top notch, but the strong focus on social emotional intelligence is what I truly appreciate. There is a commitment to being respectful learners and building community through kindness. Whenever there as an issue (which honestly was rare) it was handled with compassion and as a learning experience for all. We could not have asked for more! Without hesitation, I would recommend Vista View to any family!

Absolutely horrible school! My kids have been bullied, punched, spit on and they do nothing to stop it! Ever since the switch in principles the school has worsened more and more. My kids don't even like going anymore despite their friends being there. A school is supposed to protect your kids while there and this one definitely does not care! This school and principle should be ashamed!

Bullying as a form of teaching is enabled and encouraged here. Students arent only unsupported by teachers when bullied by peers, the teachers will bully as well. Don't know how to get through to 5th grade math students? Deflect from your shortcomings by bullying the kids!
