We are very happy at this school. The teachers balance being communicative with the students’ need to learn independence. They effectively teach quality material. The administration is visible and available if needed. The kids are nice and respectful. The school building itself is nice. Just overall
Posted by a parent on 10/18/2025Daughter loved the school! We loved the teachers and the great facilities.
Posted by a parent on 9/14/2025Teacher/counselors that are coaches seem to only be at the school to coach. They never return emails, update grades, and you can tell that their main priority is not teaching. The other teachers seem just fine, but know that if your child gets placed with a "coach" they will not get thr education th
Posted by a parent on 2/27/2023Literally the teachers could care less about about the students here! Teachers will literally watch while your child gets punched in the face and do absolutely nothing about it. Literally! A male student punched my Daughter in the face while two teachers watched and said and did nothing. What a joke
Posted by a parent on 2/1/2022We moved to University Place School District for the schools. What a mistake!!! We should have stayed in Tacoma. The Administration is a joke! The learning is mediocre. My child got very little out of his education and was bullied and harassed and the school would do nothing to protect my child. We

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 - Sunset Primary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIt is our experience with this school that they will toss out any neurodivergent learner they have in their care. The leadership at the school is cold and uncaring, and it shows in entire staff. The entire time our little one attended this school, it felt as though they were looking for ways to get our little out of there as fast as possible. The office staff is rude and impatient, the teachers are overwhelmed, disorganized and have little support. The administrators are more concerned with their image than the actual students attending the school. This is the the highest rated and highest funded elementary school in the entire district. But, I question if it is only this way because they remove any special needs or neurodivergent learners from their school. The worst part is the district supports and encourages it!! After speaking with several other parents in the district, it seems that our experience is the norm. All the funding that goes to the school should be shared with the other elementary schools in the district that actually support learners of all capabilities! The school is nothing but a show, and a poor one at that.Parent Review1y ago - St Charles Borromeo School
