Vista View Elementary School

I am not sure why there academics scores and testing scores are lower in the state. This school does not support child social emotionally, the children are just numbers to the principal. Poor academics and not supporting the children and there growth or if the child may need extra support the principal will be sure that does not happen, especially if your child is of color. He will stop staff from helping your child, it is easier for him to unlawfully suspend your child then try to help them or even provided services to the family!! He will not support at all!!! My child has now been at another school for 4 weeks and his experience is night and day. I really hope the superintendent of the 191 district is really looking into the data of how this principle is treating and responding our children he should not be working in early childhood education nor with children in general specially elementary. Also I would never approve a teacher posting my child on her social media even with there faces blacked out. Very unsafe especially since she shares the exact school she works at.. very very scary!!! Keep you children safe, Do not send to this 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.

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!

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!
