Scandia Elementary School

Scandia is a fabulous school and it is an honor and privilege to be a teacher here. We have a wonderful principal and a team of dedicated teachers and staff. The campus is full of enthusiastic, hard-working, caring students and the parent involvement is amazing.

The office staff and first grade teachers are amazing. My child has blossomed under the new first grade teachers. I am concerned about apathy of the 2nd grade teachers (there is one very loud screamer) as they don't seem motivated anymore. The other grades I have heard good things about. It is very disappointing that there no extracurricular activities, but that is due to state budget and not the school. Overall, I am very happy with both of my children going here.

We enrolled our children in this school and were encouraged by the office staff's friendliness. We have never had problems in school and were looking forward to the year. This school was a big disappointment. The second graders are treated as middle school students. School is not made to be fun but more of a 'military style' school. Our kids came home crying every day over things that shouldn't have been an issues. At a young age we felt it important to make school fun while learning. We switched our children to another school in the district and have not had any issues since. Scores are not the only thing that should be considered in this school.

I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Scandia. The office staff is very helpful, the teachers are great, and the new principal is outstanding!
