The support of the staff and Principals in this school is AMAZING and supportive to all kids and families. Its a very large school but is run extremely well considering how many students go there. Everyone is welcoming and helpful to students success and I encourage families to reach out if they need help as I know they go above and beyond to help the kids. I would definitely recommend this school!

This school has been phenomenal for our 3 kids. The environment that is fostered by the staff here, and especially the coaches (who are active throughout the day not just with sports or gym) is amazing. Our oldest was behind when she got here, and caught right up and is now an A honor roll student in high school. We're very happy with this choice.

My kids had an amazing school year with teachers who taught exceptionally well, super involved support staff (like the PE coaches and counselors), and an amazing PTA. This is a huge school as far as number of students but it felt intimate and coheisive.

Firstly, I want to say that this is a very good school and my daughter who just started kindergarten enjoys it and really likes her teacher. But I want to let parents know that the info listed here is very outdated. This school is essentially over capacity, and this has caused some problems for the staff and families. I think they've handled them very well, however and have been great about communicating with parents. This year, there are over 900 students, the ratio is 20:1 (at least in kinder), and there is a large subdivision being built across the street, so this is a large, packed school.
The principal Mrs. Keairnes, and the vice principal Mr. Sandoval both seem very front and center, and can be seen out with the students and teachers daily. The coaches are great, there are many fun family-centered events, and there is a lot of school pride. We moved here specifically because of this school and have not been disappointed. I wish it wasn't so packed, but as I said I believe the staff has pushed through very nicely.

Wonderful school with highly motivated teachers and a fantastic principle. Impressive is that the principal knows every student by name. The teachers are very caring and go out of their way to help students who need the extra explanation. Expectations are high.

Simply an amazing school. Enthusiastic teachers and effective administrators! Top notch all around. The parents stay involved as well.

Being a military family and having both my daughters attend on post/base schools, I was very pleased with how well both my girls are being taken cared of at Scarborough. All of the faculty are very nice. Great principal involvement. My daughters LOVE being a Scarborough Husky! I can't say enough great things about this school.
