Carriage Hills Elementary School

At first glance, this school seems great. Smaller school, small classes and a great place for your kids. That's until you realize all this school cares about is money. Be ready for tons of fundraisers, to eat at a restaurant of the school's choice every month to raise money. If you can't afford it, your child will be excluded from activities. Next on the money train is class parties. Which are great, but when one parent is required to buy 25-30 ChikFilA sandwiches it becomes extremely expensive. They will not allow sandwiches from anywhere else. When Teacher Appreciation Week came around, all parents were sent Amazon Wishlists from all the teachers. The items on this list were over $100 in hair extensions, $100+ dollar clothing and jewelry as well as $100 gift cards for Ulta, Nordstrom and Bloomingdales. Even during the pandemic and inflation, nothing has changed. Your child will not be favored above those who can afford all of these things. They will be left out of activities and talked to about why their parents aren't sending tons of money to their school. Avoid this school unless you want to pay for your child to be treated fairly.

Great, our daughter loves her teachers and friends here. She is doing so much better here since we moved back from florida. The teacher and staff truly cares about their students.

Our PTO organization is the best in the city. Teachers maintain open communication with parents. Students are encouraged to participate in after school clubs and sports. Leadership in this school is second to none; Mrs. Short has done amazing things at Pioneer Park. Overall, this is a good place to be.

All 3 of my girls have attended this school. All 3 of my girls loved this school and so do I.
