    "First and foremost, Bixby has been a great school for both of my sons. One has moved on to Stanford and the other is in accelerated classes at Bixby and I have been very pleased with his 3rd grade teacher Mr. Yaffee. I have to admit he did not feel challenged enough but I think the instruction was adequate for his age. PARENTS reinforce what your kids are learning at school at home and PARTICIPATE in the PTA. This is where a lot of decisions are made about what type of equipment your children have available in their classroom and extra activities that enhance their learning like Authors day, Meet the Masters, etc. Volunteer in the classroom, this makes your child proud to be at school. I work, but I take the time to participate on both PTAs and volunteer at both schools occassionally. Most importantly Bixby is a safe school and the staff is professional and friendly. You will only get out of education what you put in it so help your kids with their homework and enhance their learning with outside activities...museums, travel, etc. I like Bixby and so do my kids and that is more important at this time."

    "My daughter is going into 2nd grade and my son will begin kindergarten next year. I have had nothing but good experiences with teachers, staff and parents. The comment about the kinder teacher is well taken, however, Downey and Dahl who have been teaching kinder forever are AWESOME!!! I had considered starting my daughter at Gant, but am very glad we stayed at our neighborhood school. Everyone is going to have different experiences, but as a parent, get involved...know what's going on and if you have an issue, approach the principal and get some assistance! Joanne in the office is so helpful. From the lunch helpers to the playground staff...they know the kids names. There are many events throughout the year...maybe not as large or expensive as some of the other schools, but the kids are just as excited to participate. The PTA provides programs that the state budget no longer allows such as the Meet the Masters art program. All in all...if you are on the fence...give Bixby a try. I did and not only am I happy, my daughter is as well....plus...their mascot is a beaver! How cool is that?"

    "My son entered Kinder last year and I really should of taken him out of the class after the orientation. Its a bad sign when a teacher announces to the parents that she was a 4th grade teacher and then was "stuck" in Kinder for this year. Needless to say, it was not a great year for my son. As a result, I have had to put him in extra tutoring to catch up and so have the other parents in the class. I am also constantly assuring him that school is fun....which it should be. My score is solely based on this one teacher. I hear the other teachers are good. I hope this is true for the sake of the other kids. But I think we are going to pass on this school for the coming year. Best of luck to all that remain."

    "Bixby Beavers are High Achievers!!! Teachers and Staff at this school are committed to making sure the students get the best Elementary Education and Experience. My sons attend Bixby and their teachers are always supportive and caring. Even the Afterschool Program, Kids Club is on point. The staff at KC are helpful with homework and creative activities for the kids."
