Holy Rosary was a breath of fresh air for our son after his Kindergarten year at a public school…read morewhere he was "lost in the massive shuffle" of kids. HRS was able to get him caught back up to 1st grade level after slipping in Kindergarten. Since then he has thrived both academically and socially. The level of education provided by caring teachers and staff definitely helped him become the well rounded student he is. The teachers, their curriculum and dedication to student development is evident in the kids and provides every student the base to move on comfortably into High school. An equally important and valuable part of HRS is the family and parent community. Definitely one of the best group of people to share the challenges of raising children through elementary and middle school. The way that everyone comes together to make sure fundraising is a success and traditions are handed down is absolutely special. A final point that stands out to me is how HRS handled the events of Covid. Terrible as it was for everyone, HRS anticipated the possible impact on our kids and literally days before the "shutdown" we were told that as a precaution each child would be given a box of work and supplies. Then when the unfortunate happened, the teachers and staff stepped up immediately and prepared for families to pick up the remaining supplies needed to work remotely. It happened so fast and seamlessly, it was awe inspiring. Hopefully, we are never faced with that again, but I can't imagine a better place to be. I can't recommend HRS enough, from the front office ladies that keep the day moving smoothly, to the after school aids that provide such care, Holy Rosary is worth every penny and more.

As our 15 years at Holy Rosary come to an end, I am so thankful for the education and community…read morethat Holy Rosary has provided my three graduates and our family. The balance of social, emotional, academic and athletic opportunities that Holy Rosary School provides is unmatched in our neighborhood. We did not join as a Catholic or parish family, but found immense value in the focus on kindness, community, service to others and becoming your best self that Holy Rosary embraces. It has been a wonderful experience and we wouldn't hesitate to do it all over again. 8th graders graduate confident and well prepared for high school (and beyond).

Most of the PT/OT are good.some of the Nurses are veterans that been here 20 years Mr T you are a truly dedicated sincere caring nurse. Exactly what we need. Jordan the Executive Chef is another person that probably doesn't but should be praised. Ivy is perfect she facilitated check in. Put me at ease removed any anxiety I had. They bring me a fresh bottle of ice water every morning. They have good food 1000% better than hospitals. Communicate your needs and they will comply to their ability. There are a few 1* rating but they are people that don't communicate they just demand. Some are emotional comments because o their circumstances. I believe an ex employee was disgruntled. I would absolutely choose this place. They need to realize they are not your slaves. Most DD/UE are 15min out with most restaurants in Issaquah and Sammamish. The employees at merry, jovial and friendly. You can't measure their value because they are priceless.

Schmitz Park Elementary is a special school that will be in my heart for every. I enjoyed this…read moreschool a lot. I also enjoyed the gym class time while going to Schmitz Park. I learned some many cool activities while there. I learned how to ride the unicycle while in Kindergarten, rode the 6" unicycle in the end part of second grade, handstands, jump rope, pulls ups. And because I learned how to do all those things, we had a show called the Ice Cream social. Family and friends would come to watch us perform for them. Great memories while going there for school.

Great private school, my siblings have gone here since Kindergarten and its such a small little…read moreschool where everyone knows everyone pretty much! Parents are mostly always involved and its always nice to know your kids get more attention since the classes are not overcrowded. When my son is old enough to start school, this may be the one we might enroll him in, if our income permits it! But the Catholicism is very much a huge part of this schools teaching as well as the basic education, they really make it an importance how much they want parents to work with their children with their studies to succeed. Overall, check it out. Its a little older but theres a lot of history here too!

I love this school so much. Between entering preschool and now (5th grade), my son has attended…read morefour elementary schools. This one is, by far, my favorite--he has been seen, included, & loved from day 1. He enrolled as a McKinney-Vento student last year while we were blessed enough to figure out a temporary housing situation. His school has a rating of 2/10 on the main school review websites. It is a Title I school with majority low income families, 78% of students being non-white, and almost 20% of students having IEPs or 504 plans. All students qualify for free/reduced lunch & are sent home on Fridays with a packed bag of weekend meals. The curriculum and day-to-day has been full of color, curiosity, and neurodivergent-friendly practices. He hasn't encountered any weirdness around having queer parents at this school & this is the first place we haven't had to educate his educators on alternatives to addressing parent labels, family tree assignments, father's day art, and the like. They talk about consent and non-violence and mutual respect and pronouns and gender diversity and make space for cultural celebration. Just a friendly reminder that school ratings systems are racist, classist, & ableist. Grateful for the universe leading us exactly where we needed to be & grateful for the educators who show up despite the limited tools they have to work with and make. it. happen. Extra special shout outs to Mr. Hakeem & Ms. Turner.
