My daughters first year at Tyee Park was a successful introduction to "traditional" school systems and I believe it was a successful school year. She had an amazing teacher that cared and saw to it that her testing performance scores rose with testing each quarter. I felt as though there were enough opportunities for parental engagement, conferences were held often enough to check in and correct any potential issues, learning, developmentally, or otherwise. I felt heard and understood by her teacher, the principal and other staff. I feel as though the student and staff bodies are diverse, something I was looking for in a school. She will be attending Tyee Park next school year.

We had such a good experience our first year that even though we moved out of district, I drive my two kids half an hour so they can attend Tyee Park. This school is full of compassionate and patient teachers and staff

My son is in special education and has no homework

I have two kids attending and they are both making excellent progress this year

The school gives out monthly awards to students for things such as integrity, honesty, and academic improvement. Every student has a chance to feel special

My son has been in their special education program for two years and we couldn't ask for better teachers. They deal with challenges we can only imagine and they do it with grace all the while teaching the kids

Neither of my children have experienced bullying here

My child previously attended this school. We have since moved to another school district and my child attends a school with significantly higher MSP test scores. If you were to compare the two schools solely based on this data you would think I'd be happy- I'm not. My child received a far superior education at Tyee Park Elementary. The differentiated instruction was exceptional and my child received a well-rounded education to include reading, writing, math, science, social studies, spelling, and music. If I had the choice I would re-enroll my child at Tyee Park in a heartbeat! The leadership of the new principal is exceptional and the teacher my child has was outstanding! I agree with the previous poster that the low test scores this school has is strongly correlated with the number of students they have who speak English as a second language. I would not use MSP data as a measure of whether or not this is school would provide your child with a quality education. I assure you it does! :-)

My kids have attanded for the last 4 years. They love learning because of their teachers and the small community feel. There seems to be a real emphasis on treating others with respect. I asked the kids about bullying and they haven't witnessed any. My kids ride the bus everyday and they feel safe. Top notch music program and nutrition instruction. Academics seem strong, I think the scores are depressed from high number of students where English is not the language spoken at home. My kids are happy here and that is very important to me.

I have two children at Tyee Park (K and 3rd). Love their teachers and experience. Administration is on top of things and is always seeking for improvement. Has a nice small student population so everyone gets plenty of attention. Great music teacher is great bonus!

When we moved here people suggested that we have our children go to a different school. I am so glad we gave Tyee Park a chance. Low student-teacher ratios, teachers who really care and I have found the student body to be full of humble, kind kids - disadvantaged and diverse but not dangerous. So far, my kids have excelled in this environment.

I feel that Tyee Park truly cares about it's students. My daughters teachers have often gone the extra mile to help her learn. I am very impressed with the staff and my daughter has learned so much!
