Willow Lake Elementary School

My daughter came home and told me that they taught her that "white people are bad." She's never had homework. She's hardly learned anything, and I'd put her education level, as a fourth grader, at somewhere between first and second grade. She says her teachers are mean, and I've only had negative experiences with the staff, who come across as pompous. In third grade, a kid showed her a gun in his backpack on the bus, he said that it was his father's, and the administration did nothing. This school is garbage. Your child's early years are too precious to allow a school like this to waste them.

My child started Kindergarten in the 2019-2020 school year, which was Willow Lake’s first. Her teacher (Ms. Rybak) is an incredible teacher and handled the pandemic closure as well as any Kindergarten teacher could be expected. My child had really severe separation anxiety the first several weeks of school that she was able to overcome with the help of her teacher and Miss Emily (Yarger). The specials teachers are also very well liked by my child and myself. The principal, Ms. Brown, and vice principal, Mr. Fort, are always friendly and make themselves available to students and parents alike. For Kindergartners, there is a dual language program in Spanish. Every staff member I’ve encountered is someone I’d be happy to have around my child.
