Cascadia School

The quality of everything at this school is very poor. The administration cares not about families and will lie to protect themselves. There is a new building, but that means little when the people who are supposed to be educating the children act like they wish they would be anywhere else. There is a substantial amount of bullying, theft, and violence. All of which nothing is done about. Avoid this school at all costs.

As a concerned parent, I am extremely disappointed by the lack of campus security and supervision at this school. On multiple occasions, children have been allowed to run off the unsecured campus and into the neighboring public park during school hours without proper intervention. This creates a serious safety risk and raises major concerns about student accountability and staff supervision.Parents trust schools to provide a safe, controlled environment while children are in their care. Allowing students access to an open public area during school hours is unacceptable and could easily lead to dangerous situations involving strangers, traffic, or missing children.The school administration needs to take immediate action to secure the campus boundaries, improve supervision, and communicate clearly with parents about safety policies. Until meaningful changes are made, I cannot confidently recommend this school to other families.

Hands down a 5 plus star experience. My son and I moved her out of state and this is his fir year at Ellsworth. I have never had one issue with the school staff. Not one. They are professional, attentive, communicative and just fun! As a parent in a new neighborhood, where I don’t know anybody, Ellsworth has made us feel like we’re home. My sons teacher, Mrs. Cabe is astounding at her job. When your child comes home from school, and still talks about school…. Then the school is doing everything right! Their jobs are just as important as the parents in shaping who are children become. The principal, Mr. Schiewe … this is a person who was born to serve the kids, not the “people” but the kids. That’s the job of a principal in my opinion. And I drop off my son every morning and watch the principal hive five each kid, smile at each kid, acknowledge each kid… Thwt acknowledgment alone is what builds trust when our children are away from their parents!

We are so happy with Fircrest. The staff is friendly, engaged, and they know every kid's name! Our experience with teachers has been very positive. With learning and behavior concerns for our son, the teachers have worked with us to positively reinforce better academic and social outcomes. We love that the school is diverse and offers accommodations for multiple languages, including a focus on sign language! Also, the school's theme of "Let Kindness Ripple" is something we carry into our interactions with family and community members.
