All four of my children have attended this school and I have always appreciated how inviting and engaging this school has been. I am so grateful of all the after school programs that are available and offered for the students. Close Quote

This school helped my son who came to them in the second grade not being able to read due to double vision. Other schools and our family tried to help but could not get through to him...somehow they succeeded.. by the time he was in the 5th grade he was reeading at a 6th grade level... He is now reading novels and reading at a 10th grade level in the 7th grade somehow the staff at vern patrick elementary spurred a love for reading that is better than I could have ever expected. My other child is also excelling with their corriculum and has a love for this school that just won't quit. My kids have been through most of the bend elementary schools and I can't say I liked any of them except Jewel elementary they were great as well. Bend schools, in general, have an attitude that it is all about the child refusing to learn and not about the way the child is being taught. Vern Patrick is an great school and has done so very much for my kids...the teachers are wonderful as well. Close Quote
