My daughter has been in this school going on her 3rd year and we love it. We have teachers that care, are involved and work to help the children to learn. Each teacher she has had challenges her every day. Every experience I have had with the principal has been positive. I feel she's steering the school in the right direction.
My son is in kindergarten at EVES and I am extremely pleased with his achievements! His teacher is wonderful and very involved. In my opinion the playground is fine. My child is at school to learn...the playground is a bonus!
We love this school! We had a tremendous experience with kindergarten and just as wonderful experience with first grade. The teachers are wonderful and really put as much curriculum into the day as possible. The front office staff is friendly and always available for questions. The playground is a little bare...but they are raising money to add new equipment. That part will come with time....
my boys has gone to Eves for 2 going on 3 years now and they love it!! they have had great teachers all 3 years. They have alot of family orientated activites like movie night, the art fair, father daughter night, mother son, etc.. the staff and teachers has always been helpful and know us (parents) by name. One f my sons was delayed the first few years and now is right up there at grade level if not above, thanks to the teachers and hard work. This is a great school.
This school is lacking in discipline. The bullying that goes on at this school is shameful.
The principal in this school is seriously lacking! She is inattentive and has zero regard to what the parents think. Most of the teachers try to be helpful but don't have much authority. The school is lacking in almost every aspect. Yes it is new, however the multi purpose room is tiny with no stage or PE equipment. The play ground has a lot of room but no equipment. My kids made great progress last year but only because we lucked out and had great teachers, and I worked with them for hours.
My daughter is in kindergarten and her reading has improved tremendously since we've moved here. She has also made progress in writing. EVES has some kinks but the school and parents should work together to help kids reach their full potential.
My son has struggled with learning since he started school and until he started attending EVES we were really worried about how he would make it through high school. Since he started at EVES last school year he was 2 grades behind and now is reading and writing at six grade level. (He is in 5th grade) Thanks to the wonderful teachers at EVES. As for discipline I have experienced the opposite of what others. We had problems with over discipling which was resolved by a single phone call to the teacher and the teacher followed up with me a month later to ensure that the changes made were positive ones.
My daughter attendted this school this year and I am very disappointed at the lack of interest of the teachers. The teachers offer very little assistance if your child seems to be falling behind (in which mine is). I have made several phone calls and left messages for the principal but have yet to have one single call returned. I am seriously considering taking my child into Reno for schooling next year. I would not suggest this school or either of the two teachers we have had since my daughter has attended there. The principal is nice but very unaware of what is going on in the school.
I have had only positive experiences with this school. I have 2 children that attend, they now have playground equipment, yes it took a while but its a new school. The playground is supervised, and the teachers care about what happens in class.
