Marrion Elementary School

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.

Between the low testing scores on average for all students at this school, the amount of bullying, Never having homework, bad leadership in the administration and taking away good rules and adding ones that are more complicated and make parents/students lives harder this school had went from one of the better schools In this area of Vancouver to a school o wouldn't recommend to anyone. As someone who was a student in the past and now has my own children going here it is astonishing to see how terrible this school is now.

Teachers and administrators care so much for the students
