They are both so excited about research and learning and my middle school son is loving all the field study trips - unheard of in public school! I appreciate that they are accepted and celebrated for their uniqueness, the dedication of the teachers and staff, and knowing that they feel enlightened and enthusiastic at the end of each day!

Cascadia has provided an alternative to the factory/test driving approach public schools use to…read moreteach children. Being Montessori based, the school focuses on the whole child, which after years of attending public schools has allowed my boys to again love learning. The teachers pay close attention to what makes my children "tick" and the space to make their own discoveries. In doing so, the teachers are giving them the skills to be hard working innovative thinkers in a collaborative environment while still incorporating the state education standards. This school is what school is should be.

I also Volunteer Coached and ran Clubs. Parents and kids, despite any challenges, were always grateful to me. I had countless positive relationships with kids. I would report SPED needs and Gifted kids for years; reports and support was ignored. The School Board, Superintendent, HR and OSPI ignored my issues with discrimination and staff-bigotry and abuses and also denied me Equal Opportunity to Student Teach, despite having teachers willing to take me. My Masters was discarded. Nepotism and Favoritism: Coaches and family are given prime opportunities ahead of everyone. Again: Merits ignored. Sports, Money and Raises are chief focus at district; look up Education Stats and Salaries; follow your money. Silent Retaliation against me, discovered by Admin I knew; I was told and confronted HR... Suspended then fired.

Run, don't walk from Legacy high school. The 25/36 school year has become toxic for staff and…read morestudents. As an employee, the staff are divided. I'm using an anonymous account because I fear for my job. IEP's are not followed, Students do not receive the support that they need and the staff are toxic. I've heard staff call students names, and make fun of other employees. The principal has even told black students to cut their dreads. It is not a safe space for students to attend.

I Jane the opportunity to see teachers interacting with the kiddos and how well the kids play with each other. I've never seen nor heard anything that would send Ted flags up the pole.

so hi have two different experiences with this school and none is good…read more the first thing is one teacher (whom I think is retired) made me and my brother cry into walkie-talkie and hate both of us. the other bad experience is from my brother who is now doing online school because of this, his 3 grade teacher made him sit in a class room because "he wasn't allowed to eat ice cream", he was able to, he did all his work but still he couldn't have ice cream. this teacher did many bad things and caused him to switch classes. he had another bad thing but that was because of the kids

From the beginning I was very misled by the admin about the amount of volunteering I would need to…read moredo and also what class my kids could get into. When the reality was not tenable for us we had to drop out and they refunded to refund all the fees we paid even though it was long before the school year started. I thought I'd be doing 1-2 days a month in my kids classroom but because they couldn't get enough students enrolled, I and other parents had to pick up even more shifts. I would be weary if you don't have a lot of time on your hands. Also if they tell you you'll get into a morning class from the waitlist it's a lie. They'll say just about anything to get you enrolled. That's my experience.
