Sauk Trail Elementary School

Sauk Trail is an amazing elementary school! The principal and specials teachers greet the children every day when they walk in, and each child feels important. My son looks forward to school every day and has made great progress both socially and academically. I would highly recommend this school!

We were not sure about the school at first, but had heard great things. Our kids have been going there since kindergarten (now 4th and 2nd graders) and we couldn't be happier!!!!! The teachers are excellent, the support staff caring and the principal is outstanding. They spend a lot of time promoting kindness and compassion to one another. The school is diverse with a large population of ELL kids, which we love. There is a real sense of community here; it's not just a soulless educational factory "teaching to the test". The class sizes are small and there are many para-educators to help the teachers out. The parent population is active and there are TONS of after school clubs, lead by the teachers (chess, knitting, games, computer programming, & science to name a few). There are also many evening family events throughout the year (math games night, science night, dances, etc.) The staff are very good at differentiating higher achievers, either through more challenging work in the classroom or accelerating student learning to the next grade level.

I couldn't be happier with our first school year. Fantastic teacher, fantastic place, great support, and so many options to be involved.

I have been so impressed by Sauk Trail Elementary. The class sizes are quite small (my son's first grade class has 14 students). The classroom is equipped with a smart board. The teachers have all been so kind and open to parent involvement. The principal actively greets the children at the start of the school day and knows them each by name. We have been so thankful to be within Sauk Trail's boundaries.
