Mary Purcell Elementary School

We loved Central. Awesome teachers, awesome principal, and the communication is always there.

Day one the bus was on a different route than the previous years, so a group of Russian kids started telling my son that he's not better than them, and they deserve to get off before him. He told on them, which escalated to them teasing him. He told on them again, and the teasing intensified, until on the third week, he responded to them that "Maybe I am better than you", to which one of the girls said "I'll kill you".This resulted in us pulling him for a day to talk to the principal, who said they are a nice family, and this is just kids being kids.We contacted the School District and police, who both actually took a death threat seriously.All of this resulted in the girl getting a mark on her bus pass. There was no follow up, no paperwork, nothing.

Evergreen school is exemplary in every way! We have had nothing but a positive experience since our three children enrolled two years ago. The staff is very progressive, very compassionate and caring. Our kids are above average and their teachers have been amazingly accommodating and have challenged them appropriately. The principal, Brian, is very approachable and supportive of all students, parents and staff. A great listener! You will love it here!
