Washington is the best elementary school in Sapulpa. Mr. Alfred is an excellent principal and Ms. Lindsey is a wonderful and sincere counselor. The entire staff -- teachers, aides, custodians, cafetrians -- are awesome with the students!

Washington has an awesome staff! We especially love the teachers in the pre-k program! Mr. Alfred is a great leader and Mrs. Walker (in the office) is the sweetest ever!

I think this is a wonderful school! Actual discipline from the staff, that I didn't find at Liberty (another school in the district). There is a long term staff at this school that is nice to find! Great parent involvement, yes, one that works to make the school better.

The students grammer was intolerable and your child will come home talking like they are from the Jerry Springer show! We withdrew our child from this school and now homeschool. Great parent involvement, so much that some were aware that it was time to leave!
