Independent School

My son has went here for 3 years and the kids are nice. It’s small and close knit school that is open to parental involvement. I wouldn’t feel comfortable with a large school now that I have had my kid in Pioneer. They care about the kids at this 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.

My kids have attended Sandstone for 5 years now. I like their character development, their hard stance on bullying, and the teachers have all been great. My kids are Native American and one of them is special needs. Sandstone has been accommodating and sensitive to my kids' needs.

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.
