As a parent my biggest complaint is the recess is not well supervised. Budget cuts are really felt with in the classes. Teachers care. Principal does not respond to problem in what I feel is a timely manner.

My oldest child attended Minter a few years ago and they did a wonderful job preparing him for middle school. The teachers are wonderful and educated, I just wish there were more opportunities for parent involvement now that my youngest is attending. That being said, I can really find no other faults with Minter Creek Elementary.

I have a son that has graduated from Minter and one currently in third grade there. We have felt so at home here. I agree that the recess staff isn't always the best but the teachers and office staff are super. When we have had problems they are addressed quickly and fairly. Almost all the teachers have advanced degrees. It is a small school and feels safe for the students.

Nice 'small atmosphere' school with friendly teachers & staff. My two kids attended this school for 2 years and really liked the teachers and staff. It seemed to me that the staff wasn't willing to make changes or try something new. The level of parent involvement was limited to a select few that did everything. Need more staff on Recess duty, there were many problems/injuries.
