School can be a pain; that's expected, and I agree it can be frustrating at times. However, all…read moreschools in America are like this, and we are honestly lucky to have this one, a high-budget school offering creative elective choices. Yes, PE can be unbearable, but it's a common experience across the state. We are fortunate to have activities like skiing, sledding, and snowshoeing in our curriculum. Some more negative news has been discussed about a project where students are expected to read three books from assigned genres. Many have complained that this has negatively affected their interest in reading. I can relate to this, but I must say it is SO important that we explore different genres. Reading three books over two months is not an unreasonable request. I understand that some students may struggle to achieve this goal, but many of my peers have discussed this concern with educators and have been excused from the requirement. It's also important to mention that it's truly not hard; students have options to read graphic novels, which, as I understand it, are quite simple to read three of. I've also seen complaints about the counseling office, but I must remind you that this is a public school, and we genuinely have it better than most. Honestly, I feel a bit petty writing a review about a school, but I'm bored.

As a 6th-grade student at Ecker Hill Middle School, I would like to elucidate some serious issues…read morethis school demonstrates. Bullying is a widespread problem that is not solved in a way that will make the school feel safe to students. A report form is provided for the use of informing the school and counseling office of bullying, though it does not resolve the issue. I, myself, have experienced torment various times and reported it, though it has in no way resolved the issue and has impacted my life with anxiety and a few panic attacks that affect my learning. They don't understand the needs of physically or mentally disabled/injured students. I have a 504 along with ADHD and maybe autism. Though despite this, teachers expect students to be highly responsible for tasks such as turning in permission forms, charging computer every night, etc. lots of children have problems with remembering, even with help. With physical needs, however, they still don't seem to care unless the injury is severe. Students who have minor but painful injuries are still forced into PE. They don't raise awareness on students who are LGBTQ+. The school is NOT homophobic, they are supportive, but as a demigirl, I am offended by the way they use pronouns during Student of the Month. They do not ask any students what they prefer to be referred to as, and instead those with different gender identities do not receive what they wish to be viewed as. HOWEVER, despite the complaints I have, I believe Ecker truly has the potential to be a great school, (which it kind of already is, despite the bullying) but we still need to address these few minor issues, and we're almost there. I still enjoy this school a lot and it truly has amazing educational services that truly help students succeed. Their counseling office is so helpful as well as comfortable and I love the way you can go anytime you want.

We have had our two children at Little Rascals for nearly two years, and could NOT be happier with…read moretheir experiences there. With that huge gorgeous garden, the healthy meals (delicious and home-cooked!), the big library, the wonderful preschool curriculum and even more wonderful teachers - well, we consider ourselves so lucky to have found it. The staff there is genuinely loving and skilled, and even after our older girl moved into kindergarten, she considers Little Rascals a home, and the teachers all family. She and her younger brother are very different, but each found in Little Rascals a comfortable place to play, explore, try out new things, read, eat well, have fun, and get great at being with other kids. (They've also learned how to clean up their toys incredibly quickly! Thanks for that!) Shelley and her team are professional, kind, generous, understanding of the challenges we working parents can have, and thoughtful above all. Even after our girl moved up to kindergarten, they saved a spot for her next to her younger brother at the yearly Christmas party - making sure Santa knew to bring her a gift too. Now our younger son is starting kindergarten soon, and I simply can't believe the time is coming when we won't see Little Rascals every day. We owe everything to them, and will always be so grateful to them for loving our kids as much as we do!!

My wife and I appreciate the emails and phone calls from his teachers and from Mrs Goodwin with updates and follow up on our sons experience and progress; these people are genuine and sincere. My son struggled with his handwriting, pronunciation, and letters prior to attending Carden; his progress after just a couple months is incredible. His teachers believe in him and are so patient, they recognize his strengths and that has given him so much confidence. I have nothing but good things to say about this school; we live in Davis county, and the 30 minute commute is well worth drive!

The toddler teacher is fantastic, you couldn't ask for better. The Montessori curriculum is followed closely here, children are encouraged to participate in activities that interest them and the peer interactions have been fantastic.

We found out that the student was below grade level in reading only when he was tested in another school.

All in all, not a pleasant experience for the child and the parent of the child.
