Sky Oaks Elementary School

I loved this school! Not a single bad teacher. Lots of diversity and kindness. I had teachers that would help me with anything. Awesome playground and cafeteria. They have lots of opportunities like student council, Peer leaders, Project kids, Patrol and jobs. Great location for all the neighborhoods close by in Burnsville. The teachers just have so much want for a good education for all students and staff. I loved all of the specialist classes like Gym, Music, Digital learning, Library and Art class.

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!

I have had nothing but great experiences with Echo Park Elementary. My child has been academically advanced and their teachers have been challenged with keeping up with them, and they have done a wonderful job. My child is excited to attend school each day, and has made many friends at the school. The school provides many community opportunities such as a school carnival, a fun run, playground meetups, monthly food resources, etc. They have the right balance of active play alongside technology resources. We find this school community very friendly and welcoming.

Good Shepherd is everything we were looking for and more! My daughter started early (4 going into Kindergarten) and was reading within a few months of school starting. She's now in 1st grade and reading chapter books! The way they teach is top-tier and you are definitely getting a high quality education.We also enjoy the engagement and inclusion of family!
