Read what parents are saying about Sandstone SchoolMy 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.
Posted by a parent on 2/13/2018My 4th grader is in Mrs. Erin's class and we love her teaching style. She goes out of her way to help her student. The staff takes bullying problems seriously and try to stop it at the start. We have enjoyed this year so far.
Posted by a parent on 11/17/2016My children have been going to this school for years and it seems with the new principal its went downhill fast. There are ridiculous parking issues and traffic congestion. They dont have a big enough lunchroom for everyone so they have 20 minutes to eat and get out which is not enough time. They dont have a kitchen so the food gets shipped over from castle rock middle school so there's never enough of whatever my kids want. Or it doesnt get made in time for my kindergartener to be able to get the choice of what she wanted. 90% of the classrooms are just big rooms with partition walls up so the noise from other classrooms and traffic through the halls can be very distracting. Also with no walls or doors what happens if someone trying to harm the kids gets into the school? Theyre instructed to hide under their desks with the lights off....like thats going to save them!!! They do have some teachers that are good and that we'll miss if we change school and the secretary is awesome but im pretty disappointed in this school lately. Seems like things just keep getting worse so ill probably be transferring my children somewhere else next year.

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe moved to Billings in 2016 when our daughter was in the middle of 2nd grade. After enrolling her at Independent, we went in to tour the school and meet her new teacher, Ms.V. The principal, Ms. Chouinard, was very personable and informative on what the school was about and what we, as parents, should expect from the teachers, staff and our kids. Our daughter was welcomed with open arms and smiles on her first day. She excelled at Independent because of the care and compassion or her teachers. Once she graduated, her teachers continue to ask about her and want me to pass on their best wishes and gratitude for her being such a great student. We currently have another daughter at Independent who has anxiety and sensory issues. Because of this, her learning is taking longer than anticipated for her age thus putting her in special education/resource room. She used to not want to go to school because of her anxiety and thinking kids would make fun of her. Her 1st grade teacher, Ms. Nussbaum, is the one that helped us recognize the signs and on the right path to better her education. She is now in 4th grade and the improvement is amazing! With the help of her resource room teachers and her homeroom teacher, she is thriving and loves going to school every day. The entire staff at Independent is phenomenal and such assets to the school. I highly recommend this school for those moving to Billings within SD52. Your kids will excel and be well loved/taken care of day after day.Parent Review1y ago - Bench School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis 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.Parent Review1y ago - Alkali Creek School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIf you are looking for a school where the staff is friendly, the secretary smiles and is helpful, and the principal knows you or your kid's name, this is NOT the school for you. This school is lucky to have a couple of really excellent, caring teachers, because most of the staff is very rude and do not really care about the children. They are simply there for the paycheck. The pick-up and drop-off is an absolute joke, with most parents blatantly disregarding simple rules (and being rude about it, like the people actually following the rules are at fault).Parent Review8y ago - Eagle Cliffs Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school offers absolutely no adult supervision prior to school beginning in the morning! Ridiculous! I have lived in two other states and have never seen such a lack of concern for children and their parents. The principal Julie Hornby was not at all helpful.Parent Review2y ago - Beartooth School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI 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.Teacher Review5y ago
