Posted by a parent on 11/9/2025My child attended this school for just over 1.5 school years. The entire time she was bullied and had minimal support.

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMajor changes to the schools environment. Students and parents have new leadership and the school is more welcoming. New principal is very caring and attentive to the needs of students, parents, and teachers. With this change in leadership, hopefully it will curb absences and raise attendance.Other Review1y ago - Travis Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis used to be a great school 3 years ago, but they have a new principal and have had some changes that have not been good in the long run. Also some of the teachers and staff that were really good with the children have left. So now we’re left the mediocre to less teaching our kidsParent Review2mo ago - Lee Elementary School
