"Our 6 year old wandered 1/2 mile off the campus while under the supervision of the on-property YMCA that is contracted by the district! The school fails to lock the campus to prevent random people from entering the campus or kids from wandering off. This happened after we raised security concerns with the principal. Her response...they haven't had a problem in 25 years...WHAT?!? Does she watch the news? She told us that if parents saw someone they didn't know on property, they'd ask the person who they are. I said that I was new and that I've been on and off the property without kids - nobody had ever asked me...and added that any of the adults wandering the campus at the time could be up to no good. The superintendent basically said that he doesn't want to take responsibility for security b/c they'd be liable if something"

"My 5th grade spent 6 years at Sumac. A wonderful family like atmosphere at Sumac. The staff, teachers, principal and parents really care about the well being of the children. The parents at Sumac real and dedicated to providing all the kids with the best opportunities. The teachers have been caring and challenging. The principal has a vision for Sumac which has provided PE twice a week , a strings program, many great ideas. Our family loved Sumac!"

"We've been at Sumac a few years and I've been happy with it most of the time. I have been very happy with the improvements that came with the new Principal. She is very thorough and on the ball. In our three years in this school, it's been a roller-coaster. Our first year was rough. Teacher wasn't great - bad fit for our child. Spent the next year recovering and this year's been pretty good. Our oldest struggles and the school has been helpful in getting the help we need. Our younger has a fantastic teacher. Next year the campus of an 'alternative' school will be moving to this campus, and I am concerned it will effect the rest of the school. However, I believe since the principal is SO strong she will keep an excellent balance."

"Sumac has the high level of personal dedication from staff that is needed to make a public school stand out from the rest. Although it took me a while to warm up to the staff, I do have to say that they are very accommodating to the children. My son has special physical needs as well as an independent education plan (IEP), which they have really been on top of. Their personal involvement in my son's education makes this school exceptional to me. Without a doubt better than Willow across the street or any others in the area."
