Vista Peak P-8 Exploratory

Terrible school. The teachers mostly young and fresh out of college. They have no idea how to deal with kids. The teacher to student ratio listed above is way off. My daughter's 4th and 5th grade classes have more like 30 kids in them. I sat in on a class once and there are so many kids the teacher is busy the whole class trying to control them, it was complete chaos, no wonder my kid can't seem to follow what's happening in class. I went to parent/teacher conferences and my daughter had to conduct the conference while one of her two teachers laid her upper body across the desk half asleep. My daughter gets bullied by the girls and sexually harassed by the boys, and it continues all year. Honestly the world would be a better place without this school.

My experience has been amazing. Seeing the school increase performance year over year was so exciting. Also seeing my daughter grow academically and socially has been wonderful. The faculty and staff is are very engaging and very involved in my daughter's overall well being. This campus has surpassed my expectations and I look forward to the successes we will see this school year with our new leader, Mrs. Kolquist.

Overall, our boys have had some great teachers. The bullying tolerance is not what it should be. My oldest was physically injured to the point of a cast in 1st grade and the student didn't have any disciplinary action. Otherwise, we've been happy thus far. The communication is good and most of the staff genuinely cares.

Terrible. I’m withdrawing my daughter and not even sending my preschool aged son here. There are better APS schools, you just have to find them.
