Prairie Hills is a wonderful school with a very caring and compassionate staff! I have had 2 children complete their entire elementary education there. My children still love to visit their former teachers.
My special needs daughter attended this school from 1st through 5th grade. They were awesome! We had challenging behaviors and they were always able to rise to the occasion. She's in middle school this year and still wishes she were back at her 'real' school. I was at the school regularly and saw the teachers, admin and paras regularly. My daughter would not be doing as well as she is without the caring staff at Prairie Hills.
We LOVE Prairie Hills! What a great community of teachers, staff and parents working together to give our kids the best education we could ask for! Prairie Hills has great teachers who all love what they do...and Mrs. Hastings does a fantastic job keeping everything running smoothly!
Amazing is all I can say!!!! I love this school I would give it a 10 Above Excellent. The teachers are wonderful with the kids and the staff is super friendly and the principle is outstanding. Parents I would try your best to get your kiddos into such a great school you and your kiddos will love it.
Love this school. I wish every elementary school had such great Teachers that love what they do. Prairie Hill's Elementary has the best of everything, Teachers, Principle and Staff that LOVE what they do and this shows everyday when you walk through the doors. I highly recommend this school to any parent of a elementary age child you will be very HAPPY!!!!
I am a proud parent of three Prairie Hills Elementary students!! I love that my kids walk thru the doors everyday and they feel safe and secure. The principal, teachers and all the staff are there because they truly love children and want to see them succeed! I choiced my children into this school and I am thankful every day I made this decision!!
This school has amazing teachers who take time to tailor the daily curriculum so that every child has an equal opportunity to a great education. Hard work and dedication is obvious at PHE!
We adore this school! All of teachers go above and beyond what is expected of them, even amongst budget cuts galore! They are proud of what they do and want every student to excel. When one of my children was really struggling with reading his teacher tutored him all summer to make sure he was where he needed to be! I am very active in the school and proud to be part of this very family friendly community!
Love having such an amazing school in our neighborhood! Have been super happy with academics, volunteer program and teachers!
Prairie Hills started out as a good school. Kindergarten and first grade were our best years. In first grade my daughter was reading at an end of year 4th grade level. The same was true all the way through 3rd grade. She never was pushed further. The teachers we had were all very nice and I liked them and so did my daughter. Though I have heard horror stories about some of the other teachers. We were just lucky. Now as for the administration at the school, they are what makes this school absolutely horrible. We had some very disturbing issues with the social worker at the school and the principal handled it very poorly. She cannot have a mtg or do anything of substance without the help of the asst principal. She never remembered who we were, even though we had SEVERAL mtgs with her each yr. Even after the huge issue we had, the very next wk she did not know who we were & what our issue was. The principal and other 'key' people are what makes this school so bad. Also there are many issues with bullying at this school that the principal completely overlooks. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO THIS SCHOOL! I know of at least 5 families who are leaving this year because the school is that bad.
