We live in the neighborhood and our backyard backs into the lower field of the school. We absolutely love not only being in close proximity of the school, we love everything about Nautilus and are proud Nautilus Navigators.
Posted by a parent on 10/26/2020My son has gone here for 8 years. We love everything about Nautilus.
Posted by a parent on 8/9/2018Overall horrible experience. We were very excited to begin with and had wonderful conversations with the principal and staff prior to enrolling. Once we got there, however, we realized that the principal, Lucas and staff are extremely difficult to work with and have terrible communication with paren
Posted by a parent on 6/22/2017When I first attended the school it was considered one of the best in the school district, if that was true today the entire school district would be doomed. This school in the past 6 years has gone spiraling down and now stands as a joke in education and leadership. It has washed out almost every g
Posted by a community member on 6/22/2017Initially, we thought this school was good. the K-2 teachers were really wonderful. After that, we really struggled and found issues with rigor, accuracy of what our kids were being taught, and lot of inconstant rules. What tipped our opinion were two things. The first is the principal, Stacy Lucas.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSomething about this school is off! They wont allow parents to enter the building or to even walk their kids to the cafeteria or class like other schools. I hope they aren’t hiding anything like trying to indoctrinate kids. I’m thinking of pulling my kid out.Parent Review8mo ago - Mirror Lake Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter started K in a different school in a nearby area (Normandy Park). This school BY FAR does way more for their students than her school in Normandy Park did; and that is saying a lot considering how expensive that area is…My daughter is going into 4th grade and has had amazing teachers each year she’s been at Wildwood. Even the office staff has taken the time to get to know her and our family. I also love that they offer free breakfast / lunch for all students and genuinely care. My youngest will be going into Pre-K at Wildwood next year and when we took my older daughter to get summer reading books the office staff went out of their way to also get some age appropriate books to give my future Wildcat. I don’t understand why the school rating is so poor, and honestly it is pretty offensive. This school is beautiful and the entire staff is amazing. I can’t thank them enough!Parent Review4y ago - Mark Twain Elementary School

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy two elementary age kids have attended here for two school years so far and have done well. There has been an increase in enrollment since the pandemic began, so there is some adjusting that has had to be done by the administrators to accommodate this influx in student headcount. My kids seem to get higher quality time in smaller bursts with their teachers than they had in a brick and mortar school setting previously. They feel safe, valued, included and have been able to participate in weekly club meetings to help offset the to-be-expected lack of friendship forming opportunities inherent in a wholly virtual learning environment. Would absolutely recommend.Parent Review4y ago - St Lukes Preschool and Kindergarten
