This made it hard for us to have our kids attend not only an unknown school, but district we didn't know anything about. Everyone at this location was so helpful and knowledgeable in getting everything completed for our sons transfer. We were a different case involving not only an out of district transfer, but an in district transfer as well; to allow our son to attend the school of his choice. We have been here for almost a month now and our son loves his new school and we are happy about our move.

Marysville School District 25 is quite similar to the Marysville city government. They are only…read moreinterested in money. This school district collects more in the levies than the state, by about 2/3 more. They never seem to have enough and demand parents to provide additional money and supplies to the schools. The school district encourages the psychological abuse of singling out children who cannot participate in raising money for the schools or single out children to make a point about attendance even when the child has not done anything wrong. If you make any type of complaint, they don't take it out on the parent. They take it out on your child, so it is best not to make any waves and just go with whatever the PTA or school staff says. It is common for children to be bullied and no one does anything to address the issue. It is common for older boys to molest younger girls and no one does anything about it. It is impossible to email anyone in the school district that has any type of managerial title. Most of the time you will never get to meet the principle of your child's school, even if you request an appointment, unless you make a lot of money through fund raisers for the school. All of this is condoned by the school board, city council, and the mayor. They are all of the same mindset. Reward those that will give money and punish those that don't. The city government only raises taxes, but never fixes anything, and the school only demands more money but never provides anything to the students. They don't even provide a decent education. If you attend Marysville School District 25 they you will need to educate your child, then send them to school so you can get a break and they can play. The school district only wants your child to test well and raise money for them. They could care less if your child actually learns something.

Big money. Will our kids learn anything here? Hope so. Only time will tell. The teachers seem good. School faculty seems professional. The principal is a nice lady and appears fair and level headed. Safety is key here. Good. We need that. Problem here is the extreme insulation of teaching staff from parents. It's very hard to speak w your child's teacher in person unless you make an appt in the front office, which is much like trying to be a new patient at a doctor's office. "5 weeks from now we can get you in." Ugh. All is basically done via email or an app which can be arduous to communicate properly re issues when not face to face. There is no showing up at school for a quick hello w a teacher. Nope. They won't let you see your child's teacher real quick. They'll turn you away, and give you a slight snide vibe... like you might be a criminal or trying to do something dastardly. The attitude is unnecessary and unreasonably excessive. Another aside is that "side eye" that some "outdoor kid wranglers wearing safety vests" give if you dare ask a question, or "cross an imaginary line" that they deem uncrossable. So many rules to break by accident. A few, not all mind you, seem to deem some parents as a threat. I'm sure these ladies outside have seen their share of hard to deal withs, they're out there, but that percentage is low. Parents w their children aren't threats. (Hence the 3.65 out of 5 stars) What about that "Kindness Always" message again? Now... the ugliness that is the drop off and pick up situation at Hillcrest. Hoooo weee! DO NOT DO IT. Stressful! The school built in 1961 was never ready for the volume it has now in the 21st century, as well as the neighborhood that was built around it. Put your child on the bus! Seriously. Trying to park or getting in a line up of cars winding through a neighborhood an hour prior to drop or pickup is extreme. It can move along expeditiously at times, but mostly it's slow going and a daily fight. I wouldn't, nor would most, recommend it. You have to get there fairly early before school, and 45 mins before for pickup. Lots of sitting in your car waiting. People cut the line amd make it worse too. Getting away from the school is also tough. Put the kids on the bus! Nix the traffic jam and hanging around out front waiting for the teacher to walk out. This is an issue all experience. All in all Hillcrest is alright. B-. We can deal w the vests outside, the warden-esque front office, and the insane school traffic. Most agree it's the better school of the bunch in LS. Better than most. We work with what we have.
