"Last year was not a good start with us at Glacier Peak BUT this year has been MUCH better. I think a lot of my frustration was because of the teacher my daughter had and not a true reflection of the school. My daughter now has a fabulous teacher who truly cares about each of her stuudents. I'm still not happy with the way they do field day (at the beginning of the year and make it a fund raising event) but the overall learning experience and day to day activities have been great this year. My son just started kindergarten and its is going good as well."

"We have two children (3rd and 5th grade) who have gone to GlacierPeak their entire academic career and we have had nothing but positive experiences here. The Principal is very attentive to the student s and their parent s needs while still being a strong leader. The teachers are great and the ones who are not, are weeded out. The office staff is always courteous and professional. Academically, both are children are at or above grade level in every category. When our daughter fell below grade level, the teacher took the extra time to work with her and get her up to speed. I believe GlacierPeak offers a positive learning environment and makes special accommodations to those who need it. As an advocate for anti-bullying in schools, I am happy to report that GlacierPeak also takes this issue seriously. We have not had any issues go unresolved when it comes to bullying in school. The school s communication to the parents is above average. They utilize auto-dialers, flyers and website to disseminate information. The school staff is also very responsive to concerns parents may have through email, notes, phone calls and face-to-face meetings."

"Glacier Peak is widely recognized as one of the most outstanding schools in Adams 12 by teachers and community members throughout the area. The teaching talent improves every year, the office staff is first-rate, the principal is a tremendous leader and the facility is immaculate. The two recent reviews of this school are totally off-base and without merit. This is a school focused on sustainable academic growth and achievement. They're building students who will thrive as adults. If you're worried about fun and parties, you should try home-schooling."

"This is school is a joke. They do not have resources to help children who have learning difficulties. My child has had nothing but issues there. My child was pushed through the grades and bullied there by both staff and students and nothing was done. The staff does not take responsibility for their actions and short comings, but instead blames the child and the parents, especially when the parents are active. The staff tells parents one thing and does the total opposite when parents are not around. The Principle goes to great lengths to disregard parents inputs and concerns. I do not recommend this school for anyone."

"The staff at the school is AMAZING! I have 2 children that have attended over the last several years. The staff is always willing to take extra steps to ensure my children are getting the best education. The principal is wonderful; he cares about his students and his staff. Even with all the budget cuts he is able to make this school better and better every year!"
