Evergreen Elementary School

Evergreen's quality as a school has declined greatly since Principal Becky Cooke left and went to Prarie View. I wish she was still there, things went much more smoothly. My daughter only has one year left there thank goodness. There are however still some excellent teachers and staff there still.

Evergreen is an amazing school. The staff is top notch. Everyone works hard to help all students to grow. The parent community is involved and supportive. There are many opportunites for parents to get involved. The school has great family events. My student loves it.

Evergreen did go through a huge change when half of its student and staff population transfered to Prairie View Elem when it was built and opened to solve Evergreens overcrowding. It's a good thing when a school and an area are that popular. Of couses not every person was happy with which teachers branched off and which ones stayed. Parents all have their different favorites for different reasons. Evergreen is exceptional for these reasons: very active volunteer base (families really support learning), tradions and fun events that give the school its own uniqueness, and caring professionals that really assess how student learning is being met.

I love Evergreen Elementary. The staff and administration is amazing. My child left Evergreen's kindergarten reading! Learning is the focus and it is obvious the staff loves kids. Keep up the great work!

Was great for our kids until 2 years ago. Now we are trying to transfer all our kids elsewhere. The school is much more chaotic and disorganized, discipline is lax, the kids are no longer being challenged, the classes are too easy for them, they are given very little homework, what they are given is too easy for them and the advanced courses are no longer being offered.

School has been in a terrible decline since the major changes of administration and teachers moving from Evergreen to Prairie View Elementary.

Evergreen is an excellent school. The staff is wonderful to each child, and they do everything in their power to help them learn, grow, and build self confidence. I would like to see a change with extracurricular activities. It would be nice to have band, music, and after school sports (sports are a must!) available through the school before fourth grade. Also, the Spanish club has not been well thought out, because there is no private classroom where children can learn. Please offer this fantastic teacher a chance to share everything she has without constant distractions.

Evergreen is awesome. My child came from another district and has advanced extensively since the transfer. The level involvement for parents and staff is tremendous. My son loves the teachers and so do I.

I love Evergreen. I have not had one bad experience while there. My son has attended Kindergarten and is now in first grade. He is reading at a 2nd grade level and is doing 3rd grade math. I see a lot of parents volunteering (myself included) on a regular basis. I am very happy with my tax dollars going to this school district.

My son is entering his fourth year at Evergreen having started with Kindergarten. Each year I have been impressed by the kindness, interest and energy shown by the teachers for all of the students, regardless of their abilities. I am equally impressed by Principal Cooke and her desire to see that each student reaches his or her fullest educational potential. The Evergreen PTO is actively involved in providing financial support for technology, music, arts and sports when funding through the District is unavailable. I would not want my child to attend any other school.
