Clackamas River Elementary School

I appreciate that everyone is so friendly and that the safety of our students takes priority!! What a great school. The teachers are highly versatile especially since the 3rd/4th grade integration! My son has gone to this school for 3 years now and he loves it! Keep up the good work Nancy!!!!

CRE is absolutely the BEST school in our district. We have an amazing team of teachers, staff, volunteers, parents, and students who genuinely care about our kids and their education!

My youngest son attends Clackamas River and I have found the teachers to be fresh and excited to be teaching and very positive.

In a small community this school makes sure that all children get what they need in every way.

I would advise parents to check out other schools before assuming your child is attending a good one.

If you have a child with different needs this is not the school for you. The administration supports children that fit into their mold.

I am disappointed with the changes that have occurred at EGS and the District in the past 2-3 years. It seems that administration has forgotten that if a child fails, they have failed. I am one of those parents that feels that the school blames me for my child's academic difficulties. If I thought I would be a good teacher, I would have applied for the job. Parenting involves some assistance with homework etc. but should not involve trying to deciper what the child's homework assignment is. Children grade each other's math work. This is unacceptable. What is the teacher doing? More than 5 children tell me teachers are at their computers most of the day with the screen hidden from view. They make the child wait until they are finished before answering a question. Also, where are those accident slips we used to get when a child has been injured at school? Some children feel ignored when trying to report an incident. I expect more from a public school. The inequality of treatment for students who are favored because they have parents able to be involved and spend money and those who do not will show in the future. About the time these teachers are entering their golden years. Will they still be golden years then?

My impression of this school is that the students truly come first. From the principal to the teachers they are extremely accsseable. My son was a kindrgartener this year. When entering school he was reading at third grade level, comprehension 2nd grade. Math at 2nd grade. The school did not make any knee jerk reactions but worked with him moving him slowly. They wanted to make sure what was best for my son. And considered more than just academics. He was moved to first grade and absolutley loves school. He gets upset when he can't go. He does not look forward to breaks or days off. Thank You to all at his school.
