Both my kids went to this school and every teacher they had was amazing, they always communicated with me and were on top of helping my younger one advance in reading. Any time there was a problem in school or on the bus the office staff was quick to remedy the problem. Everyone there was kind, patient, happy to be there and genuinely cared about the kids. I was also impressed with the office staff and principle, from what I could see they new ALL the kids by name (I volunteered at the school and was there for a couple of years quite often). I've heard from friends of some of the horror stories about the school their kids go to and the problems they are having and I'm shocked, I've only had wonderful experiences with Susitna. The learning scale I did mark average, because lets face it what kid wants to go to school (not many) and the special education I'm not sure at all, never interacted with that side of the school, but by judging the staff I can imagine they did great.

Teachers are good, but the front office has to be educated on how to praise the teachers. Class size is average, about 25 students or more per teacher. There is no parent envolvement in the PTA, only two parents ran the PTA over the last two years. School PTA requires a criminal background check...

My child is in the optional program at Sustina. I totally love the environment. My child is really learning a lot. My child is self-motivated and does well here. The Principal and staff are all marvelous. I must admit this school communicates effectively so as a parent you are aware of what your child is doing. As far as safety wise, your child would be protected by some great staff members here. Great Schoo!!!

My daughter attended kindergarden, and loved it tremendously. Her KG teacher was excellent. She was deligent, caring and amazingnat her job. We recently moved out of state, and my daughter's attending first grade at a new school, and i am very nervous about her building on the foubdation which her susitna education gave her.

Excellent School! Very involved principal with an extremely capable staff. My 3 kids in the traditional track have been very enthusiastic and have all gone above and beyond academically.
