Gateway-Longview Lynde School

Country Parkway is an excellent and exceptional school. The PTA puts on so many events for families and students. Classrooms have a manageable student to teacher ratio and are well equipped with new technology. All staff from the Custodians, school nurse, teachers and office are friendly, caring and genuinely want to be a part of the school. We feel so lucky to be apart of CP elementary!

Amazing school! Great teachers. Mr Wing was an awesome principal. Fun field trips. The kids in the area this school is located in can be very mean sometimes though. This school does have bullying.

We transferred our son to Nativity in 3rd grade after a horrible experience with WCSD, and now he is thriving. His confidence and academic performance has increased so much, we love watching him grow here. It's truly a family environment in the school - everyone is respectful of each other, supportive and inclusive. We had one issue with a bully and it was handled swiftly. Excellent communication between the staff and parents. If you want a school where your child will feel loved, valued and included, Nativity is the place. The quality of our son's experience here is worth every penny.

Fantastic principal and the BEST priests who care deeply about and work first and foremost towards the spiritual formation of our children that attend. School mass homilies present the gospel in an engaging and memorable way. Tuition is higher than most parochial schools but that is reflected in additional resources such as special education staff, student counselors, large campus, wonderful youth ministry team and lots of extracurriculars. Would love to see less Chromebook use and more recess and year-round outside time or movement breaks offered to all student grade levels, even the older grades (It’s worth mentioning I’d say that for most schools in our current culture of high technology use and high focus on standardized test scores). Would also love to see band/instrument offered to all families at a more accessible price point. Lots of opportunity to volunteer, get involved and enjoy family fellowship. In summary, this is a Catholic school for your whole family!

Great school. We aren’t catholic and it doesn’t matter we aren’t bc the staff is amazing
