I will say that one of the office staff who's name starts with a M is not very personable and acts as though your bothering her if you need more information on school events or just have basic questions. My daughter is in the 7th Grade and I will say it will get quite pricey once you child gets into 7th and 8th grade is when they take really nice trips to Florida and Southern Cali etc.. Overall I really like this school for my daughter parents are very involved in school activities and I can't believe how well mannered the students are. I would highly recommend Sierra Oaks if you have high expectations for your child's education. my daughter is really happy she goes to this school.

From the moment we first stepped on campus which is now 5 years ago, it just felt different -- warm, welcoming, and full of energy. The teachers are incredible -- caring, attentive, and truly invested in each child's growth. The curriculum strikes such a great balance between strong academics and creative, hands-on learning. My daughter has grown so much in both confidence and curiosity since starting here and even visits her favorite teacher Ms. Castro. The sports programs are another huge highlight! There's such a great community spirit, and it's clear that the staff..shout out to Mr. Kennedy...values teamwork, leadership, and fun just as much as skill. What I love most is how inviting the environment is. You can feel the pride and positivity in everything from the classrooms to the playground. It's a place where kids are genuinely excited to go to school every day. I love every year they have been introducing new electives from sewing to DnD to even a T Swift club that is engaging for everyone. If you're looking for a school that blends strong academics, great extracurriculars, and a warm community -- Maryhill Midtown is a gem. We couldn't be happier.

One of his teachers in first grade once marked him absent even though he was present the entire school day. Thankfully, he was switched to another teacher because her classroom student roster was too full. Another issue we had was with a different teacher in fourth grade who made the students walk outside in 100-degree heat and forbade them from getting water from the drinking fountain. When questioned about it, she defended herself by saying that the students are allowed to and encouraged to carry a water bottle. That kind of policy still sounds unreasonable, in my opinion, especially for young children, that they couldn't immediately fetch water when they were thirsty, during a heat advisory. On top of that, the front desk staff is incredibly impolite and unhelpful. They are usually rude and dismissive when parents ask for assistance, whether it's something simple like updating an address in the school system or checking out a child early. That attitude feels unnecessary and unjustified and discourages parent involvement in their child's education. That being said, some of the good staff members are the ones who wait with the kids after school for their parents to pick them up. One time, my child was at the school for an hour past the end of the day because my husband had accidentally overslept from [work] exhaustion, and I was at work but they kindly gave me a call so I was able to temporarily excuse myself from work and rush to the school to get him. The staff members who stayed with him were sympathetic and kind, which I truly appreciated. Another major concern is the behavior of several parents at this school. Many are sordid, disrespectful, and seem to lack basic care for their children. It's shocking to see children as young as six years old walking home alone. Additionally, the school's parking lot is extremely unsafe for pedestrians, making pickup and drop-off a stressful and hazardous experience, as you can witness hasty parents in vehicles attempting to run over any pedestrians delaying their departure. On top of that, both students and parents frequently show a complete lack of manners, and even basic literacy skills in conversation seem to be lacking at times. Beyond that, safety at the school is a serious issue. I've received reports of suspicious vehicles monitoring the school, which is deeply concerning. To make matters worse, the high school next door once had a knife fight incident, which only adds to the overall feeling that this school is not a safe environment. Because I feared for my child's safety, before he entered 5th grade, I requested to transfer him to another elementary school through open enrollment. I also intend to keep him out of this area of schools (Greer Elementary, Katherine Johnson Middle, and Encina High) until he graduates to ensure his safety and that he receives an adequate education in a healthier environment. There are definitely some caring and responsible staff here, but the lack of accountability from certain teachers, the unprofessional front desk staff, the unsafe parking lot, and the overall disregard for safety and respect from many of the parents make it hard to fully recommend this school.

The only downside is the school menu, but that seems to be common in most schools, so I usually pack lunches. Overall, very happy with this school and would recommend it.
