What people are saying

The following comments are only my opinions. Please investigate and form your own opinions.

We have had children in this school for years and years. If you are looking for a school due to moving to Omaha, or considering transferring your child to this school, please take my advice and consider a different Millard School. There seems to be an increase of bullying in this school, with many staff seemingly just turning their heads or just saying they will talk to a teacher about it. This, despite saying they have an excellent anti-bully program in place. This school, in my opinion, often gets short changed compared to other Millard School District schools. If you are a firm believer in a solid music program, then again, look at another school. You will be lucky to have a 5th grade music program. There are no music programs for lower grades. Parental involvement is also lacking. Close Quote
