Eagle Valley Elementary School

The teachers at this school are fantastic and we love the dual language program at this school. My children are learning a lot of Spanish but it is not taking away from their core curriculum. We have had no issues with or know anyone who have issues with bullying at this school. My son really enjoys attending EVE. I think the principal (Mrs. Lammer's) is doing a good job at running the school but I gave her 2 stars because she doesn't return parent phone calls. This is a source of frustration from quite a few parents I've spoken with and have experienced personally.

I have one child who attends Eagle Valley Elementary. The school recently became an IB World School - which was a tremendous amount of work for the principal and teachers. IB philosophy is incorporated in every aspect of their learning and it is such an amazing way to learn. The teachers have been wonderful to work with. My daughter enjoys the atmosphere of this school. I can't wait until they update CSAP testing results for 2011 - EVES made tremendous progress this year!

This school has very dedicated teachers that work hard for the kids. However, they still rely heavily on the whole language method of reading (which they call balanced literacy). It is hard to find systematic and explicit instruction of phonics K-2. The spelling program is Rebecca Sitton. See National Right to Read for a review of this program. Also the district just adopted Everyday Math K-6. If you are looking for a traditional education including the nuts and bolts of grammar, reading, spelling and math look elsewhere. The entire district is struggling under the use of the Teacher Advancement Program which is a merit pay system. This faculty is trying to make the best of a terrible administrative decision. My hat is off to the teachers of this building.
