100% would not recommend this school!! My son started late this year, got bullied multiple times, teacher did nothing. Parking lot is a joke.. there is only 1 person “navigating” traffic in the parking lot.. drop off is usually ok. Until pick up. Drivers are insane and don’t know how to drive. A few

Posted by a parent on 10/18/2015This school is horrible. I came from another country where the kids have a notebook for each class and they have to do homework and we the parents are available to view their progress.

Posted by a parent on 10/16/2014Please tell me the review by the "gradtuing" 6th grader is joke. Please tell me no 6th grader in this school has such poor grammar and spelling skills. It is just a sick joke, right?

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have to say that my son is new to Dodson Elementary. He has a speech delay and has always been placed in classes where I feel like he is ignored. However, at Dodson, we felt that he is so happy with his class and his teacher. Mrs. Robert really makes him feel comfortable and she is so friendly. I truly believe that she understands him in a way no other teacher has before. Also the office staff is so nice and helpful.Parent Review12y ago - Hidden Valley Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageVery performative white savior school. Unfortunately students are categorized and do not get full support in terms of learning. Learning is not prioritized and instead "optics" are. Most students in 5th and 6th are still reading at a 1st and 2nd grade level. Principal does not truly care about the children.Parent Review1mo ago - Nevada Sage Waldorf School
