The teachers don’t care about their students. They don’t do anything to actually help them, especially the ones who may need more help than others.

The special needs program is wonderful, however if your child is in a regular class and struggling, you may as well plan to repeat the grade. The teachers make no effort in helping the children falling behind.

Terrible. I thought I was doing my son a favor by bringing him to this school but it turns out I ruined school for him. He hates school. A child his ge should not be afraid to go to school. His teachers mocked him and completely disrespected him. They didn’t try to work with him in any way. Instead he got into trouble for crying (which is a normal show of emotion for anyone). The administration is rude and not accommodating at all. They don’t care if a child fails. The children struggling are made to feel like they’re not smart because the teachers only pay attention to the kids who are above average. Do not have your kids go here. Horrible horrible school.

Sheep Harney base in my experience is an excellent school. My little one is in Pre-K and is so amazing how she is doing. i m so thankful with her teacher. The field trips and differences are always base based on education and how these can help the kids to lear. i feel so happy to know the extensive knowledge that has my daughter in different areas and that can no be possible without an excellent teacher. That's why i have to thank Ms. Wissner for a great job :). She is just a sweet and lovely teacher that i ever met. i have to thank also to Ms. Old well. Both of them are simple amazing. Ms. Wissner always take the time to work with us as a parent in the best way to help the little ones. i feel so happy that my daughter has Ms. Wissner as her teacher. THANK YOU MS. WISSNER AND MS. OLD for an excellent job. My little is more than ready to go to Kindergarden. Thank you for all your help and knowledge and to do a great job with my daughter. if i have to qualify you. i give you 5 starts.

My son started here in the fall and I have been pleasantly surprised with his experience. His teacher is great! She handles different levels of learning in her classroom well. They have been on 3 field trips and have 2 more planned. There is a new principal this year, and from what I've heard, she has brought with her lots of positive changes. In my experience the staff have been caring. Overall, I am happy at Sheep-Harney.

This school is horrible. Ms. Adams seems afraid to confront her staff who are imbecilic in how they treat children. One teacher in fact, Ms. Jackson, has an attitude, belittles children, rolls her eyes and is rude daily. If you can enroll your child ANYWHERE else, do so...this school is horrendous. I am immersed in my child's educational experience, have lived several different areas due to military involvment and professional choice, but have rarely found any school that is this disorganized and chaotic.

I think this school is a wonderful School. Mrs. Adams and her teachers have made this school a great place to work and learn. My children have been her for three years and I wish that my child could have had their teacher move up a grade level with them. The problem I see is the parent invovlement. You have parents who complain but are never in the childs education life and want the teacher to do what they want them to do. It is the teachers classroom and i think some parents forget that. I come to almost everything that the school has and some parents never show up, these are the parents who complain the most. I dont want o mention names but the 2nd and 3rd grade teachers from the 2011-2012 school year were awesome and my children are much better kids now. Morally due to the leadership and discipline these teachers have done in the class for my little ones. Mrs. Adams is always helpful and will work with parents on any concerns we have.

If you are looking for reverse discrimination and hostility towards the children, this is the place for your kids. The yelling that goes on, there, is frightening. Let's not forget that lock downs happen regularly, in the area. I feel for any child that has to attend school there. So so very happy we moved away from the area. Still reeling from the things my kids had to endure.

This schools needs a new everything. If you can put your kids in another school. We are trying to get our kids transferred out or move to another city. This school does not care what parents have to say and neither does the school board!

I think Mrs, Adams and her staff do a wonderful job and always welcome my input and concerns. If I have a question I ask and I always get an answer back. I would like to see the childs expectation level raised and extra attention put on math and reading. Parents need to get involved as I know I never see but the same few.
