Truman Middle School

My experience with this school has been deeply disappointing, especially when it comes to safety and how concerns are handled. Issues that should be taken seriously are often minimized or brushed aside. Instead of addressing problems directly, staff tend to downplay situations and hope they disappear on their own.There is also a noticeable pattern of inconsistent treatment from teachers and staff, which at times feels discriminatory. Students and families deserve to be heard and treated fairly, but that has not been my experience.Unfortunately, both the principal and vice principal seem more focused on collecting a paycheck than actively supporting students or resolving concerns. They rarely listen fully, they dismiss valid issues, and they give the impression that they simply want you to stop asking questions.A school should be a safe, supportive environment, and leadership should set that tone. Right now, this school is falling short in those areas.

This is not a good school starting with the principal. She is very dismissive about problems or concerns with the students! Does not put an end to bullying and always takes the bully’s side leaving the vulnerable kids to deal with the problem! Wish they would change her!

Mary Ann Binford Elementary has been an amazing school for my family over the years. I’ve had kids in grades K-5 here, and I’ve seen firsthand how much this school has grown and improved. My youngest is currently in kindergarten, and I’m so impressed by how much he has already learned!I’ve had the opportunity to work with several administrators over the years, but Principal Nieto is by far my favorite. She has brought incredible energy and leadership to the school, making so many positive changes. The addition of the new makerspace is such an exciting upgrade, and I’ve noticed a clear improvement in academics and test scores under her leadership.What truly sets the school apart now is its welcoming culture and sense of community. Principal Nieto and the staff have created an environment where families feel valued and included. I can’t recommend Mary Ann Binford Elementary enough for families looking for a school that truly prioritizes their students’ success and well-being!

My daughter attended this school k-4th perfectly fine until 5th grade hit. (Teachers)There was never an official teacher in the room because all of the teaches continuously left one after another. I would say she had about 12 teachers in ONE YEAR! This is outrageous! (Safety)There was also a lot of safety concerns for me as a parent. There would often be little to no supervision. One time there was an incident in my daughter’s class where someone had brought a lighter to school. This person had used the lighter to set a piece of their homework on fire and smoke filled the class room as no body noticed what this student was doing.(Principal)( Immediately after I asked to change my daughter out of the dangerous class). The staff and principal were unprofessional while addressing the situation. At one point they just cussed me and my husband out. So we decided to just pull our daughter out and home school her.100% don’t recommend sending your child to this school!

Had a very bad experience with the nurse's, our daughter is on a feeding tube and the school called cyfd and stated that we are not feeding our child, nurse also stated that we need to schedule our doctor's appointments when school is out? Doctor in Colorado was very upset and said we will take her to her appointments whether school is in session or not. Lost almost $800 from having to take time off to meet with both schools (other daughter went to school next door) also interviewed by CYFD. If you have a kid with disabilities please stay clear of this school. Doctor said we are doing everything perfectly and her weight was excellent. Sad situation

My Daughter has attended Legacy Academy since she was in preschool (K4). She is now a senior giving her 14 years in total. After having 2 older daughters attend public schools, I jokingly tell people I would sooner sell a kidney than take her out of Legacy. This is a fantastic school in every way, AP classes, NHS, Sports, Fine Arts, and much more, but the most important aspect is that it's a biblical world view with a focus on discipleship in every area. The teachers and staff are excellent and truly care about the children, their safety, and their future. I can honestly say the worst part is that her time at Legacy is coming to an end and it's doubtful we will find a college with the same values, however, I believe wholeheartedly she is well prepared for life because of her time at Legacy.
