Windom Elementary School

We moved into the district when my kids were in 1,2 and 5th grade. My kids were well below grade average and had been bullied at their old school. Big Tree staff are excellent!! Even though 2 of my children repeated a grade, the staff works hard, communicates my children needs and my children are happy and learning! My children peers and other parents are nice and friendly. I wish I could give 10 stars rating because Big Tree Elementary is EXCELLENT!

Absolutely awful. I would recommend you take your child literally ANYWHERE else. They completely failed my son in his first year in school. They refused to listen to any input I had and then stopped communicating with me all together because I refused to sign off on paperwork so they could get the special education funding while trying to diagnose my son as “disabled: other/unknown”. I had and have no doubts my child was difficult but they didn’t even try. They kicked him out of class almost daily. His teacher would send him to the office because he “would itch too much”. Come to find out going over his paperwork with his new school this year that had my son sitting in a desk by himself in the hallways instead of in his class. HE. WAS. FIVE. YEARS. OLD. Neither his father nor myself were EVER made aware of this. His teacher was a joke, she told me she had been doing this forever and she could handle him only for her to say with complete disgust “I have 20 other kids in my class and they don’t act like that!” (and I have it on recording should anyone at this school actually read this and care to follow up). Unless your child is a perfectly behaved white child, they will be labeled as the problem and attempted to be labeled as special needs. I’m absolutely disgusted with this school district.

3 kids in and I love South Davis so much. They have outdoor recess almost every day. Homework is very reasonable — 10 minutes per grade (20 minutes for a second grader). The teachers have all been great and caring. They catch any potential areas of concern before they become problems. The principal is very kind and involved. Great PTO that provides many enrichment opportunities. My kids love going to school and I couldn’t be happier!

Eggert is a very positive, welcoming school. Mr. Tryon is a great leader who truly loves and cares about his students. This trickles down to the teachers, secretaries, and staff, all of whom are great with the kids. It is a wonderful building with a diverse and well-behaved student body. I highly recommend Eggert to anyone looking for a calm, loving environment for their child.
