I am so glad to be here!
Posted by a community member on 3/27/2018This school is amazing! The school has changed a lot after the principal change. Everyone thinks that this school is very rude or that the people in the school are mean... (DON'T STEROETYPE!).. Stuff like that, even though A LOT has changed like the leadership programs and the diversity in the schoo
Posted by a community member on 11/18/2016going here is a decent experience (at least compared to my last school, northern heights) the teachers are mostly nice and most of the faculty listens to the students and helps out. The atmosphere is fine for the first phew weeks until you notice the huge amount of bullying and mistreatment. The sch
Posted by a student on 11/29/2015This is a fantastic school that has blossomed under the new leadership team. The climate is positive and student centered and I can't imagine being anywhere else.
Posted by a teacher on 12/28/2013They have a new principal and he is great. Yes, the "make your day" was pretty bad, I hated it too. They have a thing called "think time" and it's WAY better than "make you day", you get plenty of warnings and you get to step out of the class room when you get one. It's a little embarrassing but

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy kids have gone there for the last 4 years. Most of the teachers are great. The staff is really good about helping with children. The bad thing is they force kids to learn Spanish. For some this might be a great thing, but my children have no desire to learn it and it effects their ability to learn other things...like spelling in English, pronunciation of letters and words in English.Parent Review3y ago - Birchwood Elementary School

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBy far the best public school experience we could have imagined. Birchwood faces similar problems to other schools in this area due to immense population growth, and their capable administration and dedicated, experienced teachers and staff inspire parental confidence and students' love for learning . Students learn respect for themselves and each other as critical thinkers and inquirers, notably through IB approach. Birchwood also excels at building community within and without.Parent Review7y ago - Columbia Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageBoth of my children have attended Cedar Tree and my oldest has special needs. The way that she has been embraced for her unique differences and the ability of each teacher to reach has been wonderful. We will be at Cedar Tree for another four years as our youngest finishes out her tenure there. We adore this special school.Parent Review5y ago - St. Paul's Academy

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is our fourth year at ACS, and it has been such a positive experience for our family. As a single mom of two boys (5 and 9), I’ve been grateful for the strong education and formation they’ve received each year. The teachers are kind, supportive, and consistently communicative, which gives me a lot of peace of mind. My boys have a great balance of academics, play, and physical activity, and the school schedule (8–3, with extended care available until 6pm) works really well with my job. As a Catholic family, it’s been especially meaningful to see how much they’ve grown in their faith through opportunities like adoration, reconciliation, and daily prayer. Even the volunteer hour requirement has turned out to be a gift; it’s helped me build genuine relationships with other families, teachers, and staff in a way that has made the community feel truly welcoming and connected.Parent Review1mo ago - Bellingham Cooperative School
