There is a reason that Google reviews of this school are disabled. If I had to guess, the principal or administration of the building somehow got them turned off because of the overwhelming negative feedback the school was getting. I was a substitute here in a 3rd grade class for one day. The negati
Posted by a community member on 6/13/2025My son just graded from Manitou. He had a wonderful experience with quality teachers and great peers. Highly recommend.
Posted by a parent on 2/5/2024Rude staff, no support for teachers. Consequently the children are misbehaved and it is unfair to students who are on task. NO CONSEQUENCES for mistreatment of staff either.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSend your child here if you are ok with them being assaulted by another child and them doing the bare minimum to correct the situation and they won't call you either. Your child will come home and tell you about being stabbed in the arm by another child and all they did was send him to the nurse. Also they will just move the child from the table instead of having that child sent home for their behavior. I WILL BE REMOVING MY CHILD FROM THIS SCHOOL AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.Parent Review6mo ago - Arlington Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe few months that my child has been here has been awful. Unless you have a “easy child”. They will be quick to make your child an enigma. They will not offer support or try to work with you. Yet if you decide to un enroll they will just about catapult the papers at you to sign. I’ve just never met a classroom of teachers who hated their job so much. Yet thought teaching pre schoolers would be “easy”. I truly hope this principal decides to take her job seriously and do something about this. Instead of using the excuse that head start is a separate program. Thankfully this is our last week here, and my child is thrilled to leave.Parent Review6mo ago - Birney Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThey literally have students assaulting and spitting on each other and repeatedly refuse to document it or notify parents. I understand that the public school system as a whole is broken but the admins here genuinely do not care for the safety and wellbeing of the children in their care.Other Review3y ago - Edison Elementary School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a fantastic school! The school is lead with kindness and respect, and it shows in all aspects! The entire staff, from the office to the pick up/drop off staff to teachers and librarians, everyone is warm and welcoming, and encouraging to all the students. They tell them how glad they are to have them there today. They encourage the students, kindness and respect! The PTA is very active, organizing amazing inclusive events. The community engagement is second to none. Evergreen truly does build a community around their school. From parents, to teachers and administrators. We are so glad our little one attends the school!Parent Review1y ago - Hope School
