Boulder Elementary School

We had a terrible experience at Arrowhead. There are some incredible teachers, but there are also teachers that follow uniforn to the principal that does nothing about bullying. We truly believe she is the worst principal you could ask for if there are any issues. If your child has no issues with other students, or in general, you child will do just fine at this school. Otherwise, if your child is bullied, be prepared for nothing to be done and your child to be punished as well. (Or told you can find another school if you don't like what she is doing, as this is what she has told different students/families) Or if your child is left out, it will not be a big deal as well. Be prepared to be treated poorly and for what's happening to your child to be disregarded. Bullies are rewarded and can get away with so much. As the kids get older here, the kids that are disrespectful run the school. Even on the playground in how they are allowed to talk to the staff with no consequences. And if you file any complains about any staff putting a child's safety in jeopardy, this will be put aside as well. Very disappointed in the leadership of the staff at this school. Especially for the teachers we have had there that are extraordinary, because that's not enough to ever want to send another child to this school. We are not the first to experience the above, and I am sure until the principal leaves, we are not the last. The emotional damage my child endured here and the anxiety to proceed into the following years in not ok and disheartening.

My experience was not good. I agree that the principal is good with the students which she seemed to be; however, she is not good with her staff especially substitute teachers. She lets the kids run the school. I saw a teacher discipline one of her students for throwing stuff. I next saw the principal go over to the teacher and tell her that it wasn't alright for her to discipline the student for throwing stuff. "Kids will be kids"

I absolutely love this school. My dad went to this school I went to this school and now my kids are going to this school. They have always been very helpful and cooperative. This school has always been welcoming. Both of my kids have some slight learning difficulties and they are willing to work with them and take the time to support encourage and help teach them.

We love Poly Elementary! The teachers and staff are extraordinary, and the parent participation is priceless! Great learning environment too. Kids don't get lost in the shuffle, but rather are given the time and attention they need in order to succeed. We chose our home based, in large part, on this school, and are so glad we did!

The teachers and administrators do an excellent job communicating with parents. Students are expected to adhere to community standards. Be respectful be responsible be a learner.

The teachers are nice and caring but others are not so friendly. I had a librarian who would yell at me and my sister…when she was in kindergarten!! The expected behavior in my classes were good and easy to follow. In my classes I would only get homework if I didn’t finish it in class, but since I would talk quite a bit I got a lot of homework. This school is not very good at dealing with bullying because my sister was being bullied and her teacher didn’t even notice, or care. My parents talked to the principal about it but he was unreachable. In short I loved big sky, but there are some things that the teachers don’t do correctly.
