-2 there were so many political issues. bulling and the fact that the kids can not compete in other schools because their learning has been so stunted is just horrific

Teachers are caring however children are not being taught at a good level. should you leave and go to another school your children will be way behind.

No bullying is so ramped and almost encouraged by leaders
Posted: October 17, 2019
No there are to many politics where leadership cares more about their title then what is good for the children and schools.
Posted: October 17, 2019
There are no supports in place for children with learning disabilities
Posted: October 17, 2019
No this is why we left no only do the children bully but the leadership and the board all bully not only staff but parents as well.

The whole school works hard to be a team, to help students and to see that families can attend family nights. They have an amazing morning meeting where they have guest elders. They provide breakfast and lunch daily. They have neat guest performances like dancers and even a Professional Womens Basketball player. They also had a big moving dinosaur once. This school has come along way from starting out at a church, to going to a remodeled furniture store, to going to a building that was a former school. This school also has a before school program and 21st century in the afternoon. This school feels like home and has a nice feel to it. All of the teachers have been kind and helpful. A lot of students know all of the teacher names. It is amazing what they do everyday. This school has a lot of positives and I appreciate that it is an option for us. I tend to be particular about schools and this one is what I was looking for.

Great school, I'm glad they added the older grades. The middle school ages can be tough and it is nice to have a smaller school for that age.

I didn't like the preschool teacher, she wasn't welcoming at all. We're waiting til next year to meet a kindergarten teacher.

My children attended this school. It was a neat concept and the kids loved it there. The teachers would spend extra time with the students if they saw they needed it. We ended up moving out of state and when we enrolled the kids into their schools in the new state they were a grade behind. This schools is good for the culture and a good way for children to learn different Alaskan Native cultures. Unfortunately there are a lot of villagers who come and go to this school, many whom are in poverty and do not have parents that get involved. These challenging children get more of the attention and drastically drags down the academic level. In summary, Great Teachers, neat environment, terrible academics.

The staff can be a little standoffish but my son never had a problem here and excelled quickly! I wish that I still lived in the area so my boys can still attend, finding another school that will actually work with the families is a tough one.

My daughter attended this school the year they opened. She was the happiest student ever here. The teachers care about each student and want them to excel in their studies. The administrator has gone ABOVE and BEYOND her duties for these children. She has even donated her time to help kids get to school. They provide the best education and activities for the kids. The students success is what they are all about. They provide any means possible to help that happen. They may not have a playground but in my opinion that helps them use their imagination more. In addition, outdoor activities exist. The greatest part about the school is the PARENT involvement. This school is about family participation.

This school needs better teachers, and they also need a ply ground. This school has the messes 2end graders ever. They even have children taking other students belongings and would not able to retrun them to the right full owner, because of transfering to another school....
