Leadership was fantastic all the way around. No complaints.

If ever a time my son struggled throughout the year there was always a teacher to help him through.

It is not tolerated and I appreciate that the kids are reminded regularly how to behave and treat others with respect.

The three years our son spent at PV have been amazing. He is an AP student, a member of JNHS, student council and Honor Band. The faculty at Prairie Vista is incredible, we have had no complaints and our son has soared academically and socially. Looking forward to our next two children attending this fantastic school. Keep it up PV because you all are churning out some amazing kids!

They punish the victim and overlook most bullying!

My son's FIE was fabricated after spending only 20 minutes with my son! The report has another child's name in it!!! His goals were mastered in sometimes 3 weeks!! Yet, he hadnt progressed at all!!!

The principal threatens children and disrespects parents. She should not be involved with children at all! I have so many statements from parents and children of things she has done to them but the district keeps her in this position.

member This school is the worst school any of my children have ever attended! The principal is awful. She held an assembly and threatened to have kids arrested and put in jail if they "dabbed" in the hallways. (Yes, go to jail for a dance move). Kids can't talk at lunchtime which is their only time to socialize and break up the day from sitting and being quiet in class for hours! The leadership is the worst I've ever seen and she needs to be fired asap! They also do not care about special education students. They do not follow the law and do not help those children succeed! My son had testing done that was supposed to take days...they guy was with my son for 20 minutes max and created a 17 page report that was copied and pasted from someone else's report because my sons report has someone else's name in it!!! Do not send your kids to Prairie Vista! As a matter of fact, don't send them to EMS-ISD at all.

Prairie Vista has a relatively new principal with a background to handle any behavior problems. There is a distinct improvement. Academics is great and there are high expectations but teachers do make themselves available to help those who struggle. Extra Curricular activities are well rounded and you can find something that interests you to participate in. I do see that Wayside offers more in the way of dance and has higher expectations of the cheerleading squad. The football time at PV is good and coaches care about boys. Choir and band are both great programs with good direction. Wish they offered better dance and that cheer was more selective. The selective process starts in middle school and sets the expectation. If they emphasize excellence in middle school, it will effect the teams at Saginaw High School. Boswell Dance and Cheer is leaps and bounds ahead of Saginaw. Sad. They are losing the competitive girls to studio dance and all star cheer rather than keep them involved in school.

My children transferred to this school from another school in district. They love it! The teachers seem to really care. They have high expectations but offer tutorials more often to help the students achieve the high standards. I have received prompt responses when I have emailed teachers. The girls say the presence of teachers in the hallways during passing periods make them feel safe. My sixth grader has been contained mostly on one hallway and I like that he has a little time to transition before dealing with the big kids. I have not had any interactions with the administration other than them being friendly at open house functions. I read the previous post. Since I have twin daughters in the 8th grade with different teachers, I know for a fact that there are at least two math teachers. The school does not distribute textbooks to individual students but parents have the option to go to the school to check out a set. The information was in several syllabuses given at the beginning of the school year. Overall, I am extremely pleased with the teachers and high expectations of the school.
