**5 Stars - A Truly Exceptional School Community**…read more I honestly wasn't expecting to find such a warm, welcoming, and supportive community when my son started at this elementary school. From day one, it's been clear that the staff truly know and care about each individual student. His teachers--and even administrators who aren't directly in his classroom--have taken the time to understand who he is, what he needs, and how best to help him thrive. What has impressed me most is the genuine partnership we've built with the school. Communication is strong, thoughtful, and centered around helping my child succeed both academically and socially. It's such a relief to know that we're all on the same team, working toward the same goals. We feel incredibly lucky to be part of this school community. It's made a bigger impact on our family than we ever imagined.

I needed to ask school district a question. No one picks up the phone. Left couple voice mails…read moreover a period of few days and no one returns calls. One day, which was their working day, all day long, the phone call went straight to the message saying "their office is closed" which it isn't.

Where do I start. Jesse Molina Spicer is a PHD psychologist that works for Kent School district…read more Jesse has taken over my mother's estate in payette county. Attacking me with her attorney. They did a deposition on me that lasted half the day where the insulted me and accuse me of all kinds of different things. I'm not an angel I did some of it but not all of it. I was removed from the estate as the pr. After 1 year. The reason I was removed was because I didn't turn in an inventory in 90 days. The reason I couldn't turn in the inventory was because Debbie gravning my other sister. Took off with all the paperwork my mom's purse banking information. I told the judge this. She's still awarded the estate to Jesse Spicer. And charged me for her legal fees. Jesse has not turned in an inventory in 18 years that I'm aware of. The estate is still open. The estate of Dolores England and payette county Idaho. Now let's go to the child molestation part. Back in the 1970s when I was in the 7th grade. A man gave me a lathe that was in a rental house that he owned. Jesse came over and stole it and took it to a pawn shop. My stepdad Earl told her you either bring it back. Or move out of our house. That summer before Jesse went to Oklahoma to head for college she took me to a job interview. That she insisted I go to. I didn't want to but she made me . Jesse is 10 years older than me. The man tried to molest me offered me money manhandled me wanting sex. I never said a word when I got to the car where Jesse was waiting. She wanted details but I wouldn't talk. When I got home I talked to Earl England my stepfather. He told me never say anything to anybody about this if your sister ever brings it up again. She had something to do with it. Lord and behold in an argument over text. Jesse admitted to taking me to a child molester. There is a Portland Police report that I made after I got the text. Jesse works with prisoners with Portland Police. Nothing's been done about it. I brought it to the attention. To Kent School district. My understanding she was disciplined told she needed to settle the estate before she could come back to work. The estate is still open in payette county Idaho. And Jesse still works for Kent School district. It's very disturbing that someone can make a comment like this. And admitting to taking a child to a child molester. And still get to work with children. So I called them today. And ask to talk to someone about this. I was told that they would take it to legal. And would not answer the question whether they would get back to me or not. This lady needs to be in a state penitentiary. They'll put a Catholic priest in jail. Go after scouting. But if you're a PHD psychologist working in the Tacoma School district. They will protect you.

My child…read moretakes the bus to there and back but when I was at the bus stop I notice my kid wasn't in the bus and got so confused. So I drove to the school seeing kids still there in front of the school. Some of the children were crying. I asked what happen and apparently the band teacher dismiss them late. My child quote from the teacher "the bell doesn't dismiss you, I do" in my head I got mad because how would he let the children stay longer because some of the children have to catch the bus. It makes no sense. He threatened them as well during class as well. I'm so furious of what happen in this situation.

Please do not send your kid here. They barely have any staff for one, horrible security they let me…read morein without even asking me anything. And they don't care about bullying whatsoever. They had the audacity to tell me my child is sending nudes because they heard it from girls who have a history of bullying special needs kids and nothing was done about that either. Mind you she didn't even have a phone also it was fun learning you guys have a laugh about my daughter getting bullied at your school meetings thats very professional. There are schools nearby that are so much better. do not let your kids be bullied here especially by adults too.

Moved in here about a year ago and could not let my kids go to this school. Took a tour of it and…read morewas so disappointed! School is very run down! Used condoms laying around on school parking lot! It seems like Kent District has forgotten about this school whatsoever or turned a blind eye and don't even bother not just build a new one instead but not even changing cracked cement all around school, window blinds are sticking out broken, carpet is 30 years old and only being washed to keep up, playgrounds around school is also very very old, and the worst of all is rotting smell inside. Also just based on my observations on no school days I am pretty sure some drug deals are going through here as suspicious vehicles pull up and park sitting there for a while.

It was obvious that all the staff here cared for each and every student . They were not biased nor favored certain children. Everybody was included. Definitely a school I would recommend.

We are excited for her to do her 4s program this year and even more so that she has a friend wanting to enroll also. They teach the kids so many skills I didn't know a 3 year old could perform. The self learning discovery style has been great. Teacher Cheyanne left and we will miss her. Nonetheless we are still excited for our daughter to have her next year here. Her little brother will also attend here when he's old enough.

Our family has experienced two Montessori schools and two public districts between three boys…read more Dancing Pines is by far the most personal education between them all. The teachers are so mindful of how each child develops, it really does make you stop and think why it doesn't happen this way everywhere. I should also point out that our son is autistic and simply learns and interacts in his own way. The way he learns with the teachers and class mates is so organic that it doesn't even seem like he's being treated differently. And in reality I don't think he is being treated differently, which is exactly how I want my son treated. On top of the great staff, agile curriculum, and hands on learning... it's affordable. I'm sure you can find cheaper if you really look, but you will not find a better early learning experience for the price. Or for that matter, even more expensive options would have a tough time competing with this team. My child is currently 5 years old and autistic. Performing math at a 1st-2nd grade level. Reads at a 2nd-3rd grade level. And as a bonus, knows how to tend goats and chickens. Thank you so much Dancing Pines!
