Alkali Creek Elementary School

Wendy Tyree has been the hardest principal to work with. She does not care about the children’s education or emotional well being and always has time to talk at you but never has time to have a real conversation. I have had to pull my children from this school after they failed to seek medical help for my child with a head injury, even after he was falling asleep while in class. It was the final straw. I wasn’t even notified until hours after the injury. After taking my child to the doctor, I attempted to contact school district 2 but they don’t seem to have time to talk either. I highly recommend avoiding this school if you care about your children and their wellbeing.

This school has been great for my kids. The teaching and administration staff is caring and informative my kids are learning. I am Happy with it.

This is a great neighborhood school. We have three students, 5th, 3rd, and Kindergarten and all are thriving in this caring and supportive environment. McKinley is the most socioeconomically diverse school in the city. Therefore there is a diverse student population based on needs in order to meet academic standards. There are many supports in the school for both ends of the spectrum of student abilities due to additional resources as a title school. This school has great administrative leadership and a tremendous retention rate of new teachers who are willing to commit to a more challenging population to educate because of the high standards and culture of support. Finally this historic building was fully renovated and has the old school charm with updated amenities. Wouldn't ask for anything else for our kids. Very active PTA, but definitely a need for more parental involvement to support the system.

My kids do so well at Eagle Cliffs. Every concern has been addressed regarding bullying and if my child was struggling with something they have always been willing to work out a game plan with our family to help them succeed. If I have any questions staff members have been more than open. Mrs. Hornby has been wonderful to interact with and my children love Mrs. Salazar also.

I love Beartooth Elementary!!! Striving forward under new administration, Beartooth is making big strides and is becoming a community centered school with student led projects and activities. A strong character education strategy has been implemented over the past two school years with the results of higher attendance rates, rising proficiency scores, and lots of smiles and laughing. We work hard, we play hard, we learn more every day.
