We've had a mostly (nobody' perfect) great experience at this school too. 2 of my kids…read moretransitioned here after an overwhelmingly negative experience at Corvallis Waldorf School. It took time for them to shake off the damage that had been done there, but they were warmly embraced by Philomath Elementary and we received wonderful support from the teachers, principal, and counselor there. It isn't easy for a school to clean up the damage done by another, but they really did that, here. My kids all started loving to learn. They felt safe and secure for the first time (still working on forgiving myself for thinking my 10s of 1000s of dollars were paying for my kids to be misguided and mistreated at a private school). Philomath Elementary feels like a private school because of the small ratio of teachers to students. It is a creative and positive environment. I'm still kicking myself for thinking they would be better off in a more "spiritual" private setting. My kids are happy. They've developed great friendships. Their social skills have been revived (they were so oppressed at CWS). And they are LEARNING. One of my kids is severely dyslexic and has auditory processing disorder. He is receiving so much more support from this school and the district than he did at the previous school. Each of his teachers has implemented a special program for him and he is totally on track now (and happy).

It's okay. Curriculum is good, but not all teachers are very nice. Most teachers are great! But the…read morerules are not enforced equally throughout the students. Males are usually treated with more lax standards along with shorter, less developed girls. Some people are very quick to make assumptions about students based on overall airs. I was on financial support, but tuition is pretty expensive. Not many students. Some of the students that grew up in a wealthy loving family can be very inconsiderate with words. Dress code is strict. Dress code enforcer has tried to tell me where MY mid thigh was. Also the dress code does not provide much room for religious wear. Hijabs and headwear are allowed, but certain holidays might include certain attire. It can be a challenging place for students with Social Anxiety on multiple different fronts. There is no special needs program to my knowledge. I personally think that this school is a bit too sensitive, but that comes from a middle class public school person until I got here recently. The school is pretty academically supportive to those who don't require help, but it skips a year of material. I was scared to say this till now but it was also pretty terrifying the whole time. And exhausting. Mental health is taken care of by most of the teachers that are trying to get their own job done. Kids have said slurs, done VERY inappropriate things and made noises to others, and it's never taken care of. It always kept happening. Bullying was not addressed. Most people are obsessed with putting labels on you. And people wouldn't listen to me. It was actually pretty deteriorating. And I had already went into this school with crippling depression. My only friends at the school were much more support than the mental health support system or whatever thing they had set up at the time. And nobody knows boundaries. I'm sorry. I hope its changed now.

They have good foundational philosophy about how our children can be raised to have good character and be good citizens. They allow students who want to excel to do so, while if there is any hiccup, teachers work with staff and parents to find a good solution to get the student to back up to par. We find Ashbrook to be the best option in the area.

Essentially an expensive public school, with the word Christian in it. Also I had a hard time writing this but it is what it is.
