We open enrolled here from another school in the district when my son was in 1st grade because we wanted him to have a better learning environment than what he was getting and he had issues with being bullied, and we've been very happy. The principal is amazing. The school has a great PTA and parents are very involved. You get the feeling that everyone knows everybody. Close Quote

This has got to be the worst school in Maple Grove. The school is a bully's paradise, and the administration pretends to care when in reality apathy is the norm. Some teachers are literally going through the motions , and the kids have taken over the classrooms. Instead of using their heads to figure out how to work best with your child, the teachers will ask you what THEY should do. And I'm not talking about suggestions, they are asking parents what to do. My poor daughter has the misfortune of going to this school and if I could I'd trade places with her I would. Better than that I'd teach the class myself and do the job better Close Quote
