Southworth is an amazing school. As an educator myself, I have been nothing but happy. The staff is caring and gets to know every individual student. I really believe that they care about every student that walks through the door. Along with a caring staff, you will also find a strong sense of academic integrity. I feel honored to have my child part of such a great school!
We moved our daughter this school when it became obvious to us that she needed a school that cared about her and her education. That was two years ago and she has reached educational goals that I never thought possible. We have had nothing but positive experiences with the staff and students. They truly care about the child as a whole. It is so nice to know my daughter is a priority and that she feels safe and loved when she is at school.
This is our 3rd year at Southworth and we've loved every one of them. As a military family we've felt "at home" since our first day on campus. The teachers and staff always greet us with a smile and make us feel welcome and part of a community. Both of my children have excelled academically, yet continue to be challenged to push themselves further. I am confident they will leave Southworth prepared for the challenges of middle school.
I have a Kinder that had speech delay when he first started at Southworth Elementary. I had my doubts when I was told that my son's reading level will improve by the end of the school year, much less speaking it. Several months later and still in Kinder, he comes home reading me a story from one of the books he brought home from school. I was (and still am) amazed at how he pronounced each word so precisely. To describe Southworth and its staff, they have gone above and beyond to meet my son's needs and my expectations. I am a very proud parent of Southworth, and I applaud its teachers and staff. THank you for everything.
I love this school! Great Enviroment!!!!!!
I just love the staff!!! My son had the most amazing teach er last year for 2nd grade..Mrs skultety!!! My sons says it is the best school he has ever been to..We are a military family and he has been to 4 other schools..I love this school
We moved here from Phoenix and was pretty leery about putting our daughter in a 'small town' school. I will admit it is the best school we could have ever put her in, even compared to the other 4 we could have chosen. The teachers are outstanding and care about each student as an individual. The principal gets involved and interacts very well with the student. She is at all school activities and participates. I could not ask for a better school or academic program for my daughter to attend! Keep up the good work Southworth!
An excellent school with dedicated teachers, staff, and a principal that really care. All schools in the state of Washington are somewhat driven to teach to the WASL. This school does a great job of balancing that need with allowing teachers to have their creativity come into their classrooms. The principal is a strong leader whose focus is toward improving all areas of this school for students and teachers. Could
Incredible staff , brilliant teachers and success for my son all add up to the winning combination!
We are very happy with the teachers at Southworth. My son is doing much better in this school then any others he has gone to.
