Treasure State Academy

The school got its rating up from being very bad a few years back by teaching to test. Their academics are not great or challenging. Advanced students are completely neglected while less advanced students are the main focus to prevent them from dropping the school's test scores. About half the day is devoted to just focusing on materials that will make the school look good when test scores come in. Not a good school if you want your child to learn more outside of tests or if you have a child that you want to experience intellectual challenges. Meadowlark and Sacajawea are much better schools for advanced children, because they prioritize them and go out of their way to accommodate their needs. Meadowlark is very competitive, and Sacajawea is more laid back and friendly. The staff at Sacajawea are incredibly friendly and kind, they genuinely care about the children and actually connect with them personally. The teachers at Chief Joe seem to be disconnected from bonding with students or pausing to understand who they are and how they could benefit as individuals. That being said, it's a safe environment. Children with special needs or who are struggling are the main focus if your child has those needs. It much better than a number of other schools in town with negative environments and openly hostile staff.

Simply awful. The bullying has been a huge problem at this school and that is mostly because of the inconsistency among staff in dealing with their bullies. Most of the time, your child will be dismissed by recess aides and told they are tattling and go play nice. When you as the parent go in and talk with the staff you will be met with concerned faces and they will reassure you it will be stopped. And that's about all you'll get because it doesn't stop. It goes on and it gets worse.

Terrible quality. The food is long past expired, and the work environment is not healthy for children in need. The principal agrees with violent acts and has a sketchy history. Overall, don’t send your kid here.

An absolutely outstanding school. It was great before it changed into the CORE school and now it’s amazing. We feel so great about sending our child here and recommend it to anyone with elementary school age kids. Everyone there is happy to be there. The most positive, supportive environment you could ever hope for.

When I first sent my child here I heard great things but after around a year I realized some problems with this school. My child didn’t like this school and complained constantly on how teachers were mean, sexist and pushy alongWith teachers that don’t know how to teach.
