What people are saying

Tuesday, August 1, 2017

Eagle's Nest Elementary is a dangerous place. Discipline and safety problems are an epidemic, and ignored. Most teachers won't do anything and those that try to do something, get no help from the administration. Teachers that complain, get bullied by the administration. Kids can't learn because they are constantly worrying about bullies. With so many other school options this school has become a school of the leftovers, leftover students, leftover teachers and leftover administration. Many of the teachers are not even certified teachers. Look up "Teach for America." Close Quote

My daughter has enjoyed her experience at Eagle's Nest. Her teachers thus far have been in-tune to the academic needs of the students and, they seem to care about the children who attend Eagle's Nest Close Quote
