Absolutely a terrible school for any child to attend. Especially those that have an IEP. They neglected my daughter for months and she suffered. Had to file a complaint through the state board of education that was founded and because of all the neglect we had to move from Alaska back to lower 48 for services. Do not send your children here if possible.

Two of my children attended this school and I really liked it. It is of course in a very safe area as it is located within the gated community of Fort Richardson. We were stationed on Fort Richardson twice and in both houses, the kids were able to walk to school as it was within walking distance. The kids seemed to really enjoy the school and the teachers always kept me involved with my children education. If you live on base I highly recommend having your chid attend this elementary school.
