Prairie Elementary School

This school was a nightmare for my children and had an immensely negative impact on their learning. Relentless bullying from key students that the school refused to ever address, but bullying toward my kids from parent volunteers, plus some key teachers. This school is racist, has no space for learning differences. They reward bullies while ignoring IEP’s. Having been a teacher for 20 years now I have never experienced such a toxic, cruel community. If you can possibly avoid this school, please do.

Unfortunately this school has fallen behind and failing the entire student body. Us educators and the students suffer as the uneducated parents in the community hold their children’s education back and block the opportunities to grow in the bigger world. Several teachers on staff are looking elsewhere, some have already found better opportunities. We simply don’t feel empowered or supported here. Sad times.

It’s a bad school my kid hates it so much

i went to this school from 2nd to 4th grade and experienced a lot of bullying. the teachers and staff did nothing about it and just told us we were overreacting.my sister was also bullied and it left a lot of bad impact on her and she now deals with serious mental health issues due to bullying,etc. fights are a normal thing and happen very often.a girl in my class tried to hit us with bats. the teachers didn’t talk about it the next day at all. nobody takes there job seriously and the old principal was a bully herself.i hated going to this school and would have breakdowns every once in the morning before school.the teachers would tell us to not be bystanders to bullying and to step in and stop the bullying. the teachers needed to hear hat more than the students. the kids in the school can be very mean and i’ll admit i was mean to. but the teachers didn’t care so we did whatever we wanted to do.this isn’t a school where you get a education. don’t send your kids here it is horrible for anyone’s mental health. they need to get new staff and teachers who actually care for the children.

We became members of Mt. Calvary 30 years ago and have been members ever since. Things change but not the Christian education the children receive yet today. My son has grown to be a God loving married man unabashed and confident with a Masters degree in business. My daughter is a special angel. Her love for God and her gift of love and compassion led her to obtain her Doctorate degree of Occupational Therapy where she works with special need children to live a fulfilling life. Pre-K through 8 are the foundational years. Armed with foundational Christian guiding principles, Mt. Calvary’s staff and pastors excel WITH PARENTS to provide youth with a foundational education based on God’s love for us. For us, being involved in the church and school wasn’t an option, it was a blessing. You only have one shot at raising your children. We were blessed to have been members of Mt Calvary Church and School. Thank you God.
