We have a child in the school and the teachers have purposely exiled him and he has come home with scratches and sad because his teachers exclude him and treat him like a burden. He has also come home with scratches on his back and so has our other son who is in the school. I don’t recommend.
Posted by a parent on 1/5/2026Love this school, my daughter is in Kindergarten & she gets homework everyday and her teacher checks it everyday... Mrs. Lugo promotes reading soo much and I love that!!
Posted by a parent on 10/16/2019Excellent school with a new Principal and committed teachers. Heavier focus on reading and arts skills rather than STEM, with specialized reading and counselling staff. Although special events like robotics are sometimes provided. Gifted program is excellent, but needs to be expanded. Music teacher
Posted by a parent on 5/8/2019The principal Ilene Bichler is not understanding of children's needs. Traphagen School use to be have a strong PTA and great principal leadership.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am very happy with the pre-k program. The students are learning in a fun and nurturing environment. My daughter loves going to school. The other children are very nice and they all play well together. I am trying to help foster communication with the parents and increase parent involvement and participation. I feel the school is going in the right direction. If everyone from the community put their children in this school it would improve the school even more. I encourage you to enroll your child in the pre-k program. We plan to keep our child in the school for as long as possible. Looking forward to the brand new playground which will include a separate pre-k and Kindergarten playground.Parent Review6y ago - Milestone School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is great school but my daughter loves this school but it when it comes to helping kids who are much slower or need more assistant in the class that is very lacking and when it comes to teacher going the extra mile to help a student who needs extra help it’s also lacking . When I ask the teacher to see if she can spend an extra before class start to help her with maths or English the teacher responded was I don’t do that . That was so negative of a teacher to say that . I thought teacher was suppose to go the extra mile have his or her succeed but obo not . And they need to provide more help to kids who need help with maths n English because those are the two areas that kids struggle with . And they can do so much better than for the money the charge for tutition .Parent Review2y ago - Emmanuel Children's Mission School
