Boones Ferry Primary School

We love Boeckman Creek Primary School! The teachers and support staff are great. They are welcoming, and make real effort to get to know the students. They are also wonderful at keeping communication open and consistent. I have no concerns with safety or academic progress when it comes to my children attending this school. My children enjoy attending, thrive academically, and have made great friendships at school. Thank you staff for everything you do at BCPS!

We deeply regret enrolling my child at Lowrie Primary School, a place that completely fails in safety, supervision, and education. Safety is a disaster—doors are left wide open during school hours, allowing anyone to walk in without check. Playground supervision is nonexistent; teachers stand far away while kids scatter, some dangerously close to the road in chaotic lines. There's no security—no locks, no fences, no vigilance.The school's "nurturing" rhetoric is empty. Students are treated like a herd, with no focus on individual needs or abilities. Kids with behavioral issues are ignored, letting problems worsen. Shockingly, kindergarteners use bathrooms without supervision, leading to incidents like a boy trying to force a girl into the boys' bathroom—discovered only by parents, not staff, with the teacher still clueless.The principal, lacking experience, oversees chaos. An early-year assembly was a disorganized mess, with kids running wild and doors still open to potential intruders. Teaching is lackluster, teachers are older and ineffective, and behavior issues are mishandled. Lowrie Primary endangers children and fails as a school. The state should not be funding this ticking time-bomb of a school.
