Well I have nothing negative to say about this school ! Anyone who has a problem has a problem!!!! This school did amazing things for my child he went from not reading at all to almost 2 grades ahead!! The support system between the principal and the teachers are exceptional! Bravo , I see nothing wrong period! I would like to thank this school for the welcoming teachers and staff and for the experience I've had with you I am fighting to keep my child to continue there unfortunately we will be moving but I hope I can stay in the district I wouldnt go anywhere else! This school does not get enough credit ,if you want your child to.learn I suggest you ignore all negative comments especially the ones concerning the appearance we aren't sending are kids to school to look at the building !! It's about the children I highly recommend this school as a parent enroll your child here if you can and this is a person that dont like to write reviews

My Son and Daughter are going to this school. I am very disappointed with the school system they are not sending any homework and you cannot know what they are at the school. They were celebrating kindergarten graduation it was a cheap graduation party they didn't even give the student a hat. Looks like the school has no budget but we are paying high school test for sweet home school district.

My daughter spent her kindergarten at this school. Everything was phenomenal at the school from teachers to support staff. Mr. Smorl was fantastic. They handled the post covid lockdown situation very well. The teaching was wonderful. We were very happy with the approach of Mrs. Kruchten, kindergarten teacher.

I personally disliked the teacher my daughter was assigned. During "bring your parent to school" day I observed her being cold and unfriendly to all of the children. The principal doesn't feel that this is an issue. The school building itself is severely outdated
The positives are that the teacher's assistant seems wonderful along with the other office staff.

This is not just a school, we are a family. You won't find teachers and administration that care more about the kids and their families. The students are taught to be educated and well rounded human beings. Our Honor Code: Respect Everyone and Everything ..... Be Safe ..... Be Caring ..... Be Ready and Make Good Choices.
