Prairie Vista

Posted February 25, 2006

PV is a highly progressive elementary school that continuously attempts to implement new and improved methods into their curriculum. Parents wishing to push their children to the limits should find this school to their liking. If you're interested in allowing your kid to be a kid you may wish to reconsider. Daily homework can reach 2 hours despite their standard of 20 minutes which makes extracurricular activities difficult to schedule. All in all PV is a great school and the teachers are very competent.

Overall, I have been happy with the quality of education my sons have received at Prairie Vista. They have enjoyed being involved in basketball, Lego League, Earth Crusaders, helping in the supply store and being involved in the tv network news. I do however believe that some of the teachers could do more to inspire the children to think outside of the box. I think most of the teachers do encourage most of the children to do their personal best and especially in the lower grades there is a lot of parent volunteers who assist those children who are needing some extra attention, instruction or guidance. The school has instituted the looping system, which means your child stays with the same teacher and students in the class for 2 years as well as multi-age classrooms in which 2 or 3 grades are in the same classroom. This can be good or bad based on how well your child responds under the guidance of the teacher who they then have for 2 years.
