Naches Trail Elementary School

I have two children attending this school and I have not been happy with them at all. They do not inform the parents of upcoming events, nor do they respond to notes or voice mails. I would love to be more involved in my kids school activities but they have given me no opportunity to do so. Most of the work the kids do is at home with me teaching them. I am disappointed in the overall experience I have had with this school so far. If it does not get any better we will be looking into other schools next school year.

the staff is very helpful, respectful to parents and students. My daughter doesn't adjust well to change and they helped accommodate that as much as possible. Great school!!!

Love this school the teachers are great and what a wonderful principal she remembers all the kids names and will call them by name and say hello. Teachers go out of their way to help with teaching your child.

I think Naches Trail is a great school. My grandson is learning and growing by leaps and bounds. He has had great teachers, including the one he has this year. I am very happy with this district and especially this school.

I have 2 children that go to this school and have all of their school years, I am not happy with this school, the children have had good teachers for the most part till this last yr my youngest has a teacher that is very rude to the children, tips over desks to help clean them and also the principle will always back up any teacher or staff, I am unhappy since my children are older and more open to tell me what is really going on, I believe them and as someone else said, I just try to teach them not to be like one of there teachers now. I feel this school needs help and the PTA is more into making the school look cool than into learning they buy toys, signs and not books, Another words, More material than worried about learning. Good luck, We are moving!

Intent focus on quality education. The teachers and staff provide a safe environment for our children to learn, explore, and grow. I know first hand how awesome the special help programs are here. My son was having difficulty with reading. He was placed in a special reading class which I was admittedly worried might 'label' him and cause stereotyping leading to frustration down the line. I couldn't have been more wrong. The specialists helping him were cheering on each of his successes and helped me understand his learning style so I could better help at home. After a few short months with this intense almost individualized assistance, he graduated from the program and couldn't have been more proud of himself and his accomplishments. He now adores reading and has had no further troubles. I have found the family feeling at Naches really bonds the students and faculty and it works.
