Read what parents are saying about Coral Academy Charter School ElementaryThe administration and teaching staff seem only interested in the students achieving high scores on standardized tests. Making sure the students are learning and retaining useful information is the last priority at this school. My child has attended for three years, and 2 out of 3 teachers have been absolutely awful. My child's teacher this year flat out told me all she wants him to do is score well on the standardized tests. She then told me I should bribe my child with rewards to encourage him to do well on these tests. They are only concerned with getting high test scores and dealing out harsh over the top discipline. If your child is ever disciplined don't waste your time trying to appeal. They treat disciplinary appeals as a mockery and aren't consistent with the information that is provided in their own student handbook. I would never recommend anybody put their child in the south Reno elementary school.
Posted by a parent on 2/6/2024Not a great school. They highly discourage IEPs for students with social and emotional disabilities. They are not a PBIS school and their special education team does handle kiddos with social emotional disabilities.
Posted by a parent on 6/21/2023Coral Academy of Science Elementary South review: a truly awful experience with a cold, arrogant and uncaring administration (Pifer, specifically). If you want your child to be traumatized about "getting in trouble" about any conceivable thing, then this is the school for you. They are more concerned about punishing, rather than caring and teaching the students. We are talking about 5-year-old kids here! Never again.
Posted by a parent on 5/17/2022Unfortunately Coral Academy of Science Elementary-South was an awful experience for my child. Well the school is nice looking in, the administration does not properly handle bullying. One particular member of the administration is arrogant rude and does not care about the safety and security of the children that go there only in the way the school looks from the outside in. I would not recommend sending a child there unless you want poor leadership
Posted by a community member on 9/24/2021Nothing special about this school. While all other WCSD elementary schools have been back full time in class for months CAS is still hybrid because their classrooms are too small for children to socially distance. What do they do? Advertise to enroll even more students in their distance learning program - what happens when it's time to go back full time? There definitely will not be enough space for all these students now! There is a $160 per semester supply fee. Fine. Ask if there is a discount since children are only in the classroom 2 days a week (40% of the time should equal a 60% discount). Nope, $160 for one orange plastic folder provided to my child this school year. They are still providing to those families in need. Fine. I will be happy to donate what is needed. Nope, they will only take your $$$, the full $160 per semester. Signed up for a laptop at the beginning of school only to not receive one. Where is this $ going? They dictate what type of snacks your child can have. They claim to follow WCSD wellness program but don't allow your child to have skinny pop (popcorn is an approved snack on the list) but they can have a granola bar full of sugar. makes no sense!My 1st grader is on his 4th teacher this school year. Overall, the teachers have been great. Miss Suni is wonderful! The principle is out of touch with working parents that have to work full time and do distance learning with their child. She could care less!

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter has been going to this school since pre-k and I have never had a problem with any of the teachers or the staff. When ever my daughter has had a problem and my husband or I have said something it has been taken care of. The teachers here really care about their students succeeding.Parent Review9y ago - Peavine Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur previous elementary school was rated 9/10. The classes were similar in size (approx. 20-21 kids per class), the campus only a few years old. Many kids left kindergarten unable to read, little emphasis on Phonics, there was some fun science and social studies but no phys ed and teachers had to rotate grades periodically. It was not a great experience. Peavine might have a lower overall rating (for now) and the campus is older, but it is well maintained and the staff is phenomenal. From the support staff who know each of the kds and make everyone feel so welcome, to the principal who is a visible, accessible presence, the active & fun PTA, to the outstanding teachers, Peavine is top notch. The curriculum is challenging yet fun, the teachers creative, resources available for all children. The teachers are open to a collaboration with parents and the kids are thriving. Kids get frequent smaller breaks as opposed to one longer lunch (this has been proven more effective for managing behaviors and retaining learned materials). The students alternate PE, computer lab, and music class. The school puts their money where their mouth is: I witnessed a child being harassed by a bigger kid - the school intervened at once and ensured the problem was resolved immediately and permanently. We are so very pleased we took a leap of faith and came to Peavine. Our kids are enjoying school and we are quite pleased with the quality of education they're receiving.Parent Review7y ago - Rita Cannan Elementary School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHDMS was the answer we were looking for when we discovered traditional public school was not the right fit for our family. Our children were bored in school and frustrated with hours of homework after school. There had to be a better way! Six years later and we have three thriving Montessori children who love going to school each day. They are independent, self-motivated children who love learning! We are forever grateful to have found a Montessori Charter school that serves ALL families, as we could not have afforded a Private School.Parent Review1y ago - Child & Family Research Center
