I have a dear friend who has had issues with her child being bullied at this school. My friend and her husband are both kind, intelligent people. Their children are kind and intelligent as well; go figure. Their experiences with teachers have ranged from not so great to wonderful, as can be expected from any public school. However, in trying to reach a solution to ensure the emotional and physical safety of their children due to bullying, the principal at this elementary could not be less interested or capable of feigning even the slightest amount of insincere empathy. I have three children, myself; two of which attend public school in Davis County and I am utterly disgusted and appalled by the response my friend and her husband were given when they brought their very real concerns and upset to the principal after their son was brutally bullied. When my children are in school, it is imperative that I know they feel safe and unthreatened. We’ve all been through school. We’ve all been teased from time to time or called a name or been on the outs with friends, and we have all survived. Blatant and continuous bullying, on the other hand, is a different story, and children do NOT always survive the aftermath of such abuse. The principal at this school has shown himself to be incapable of recognizing and seeking solution to the very real and dangerous threat of childhood bullying and perhaps would prove better suited having less responsibility.

Absolutely love this school and the teachers. Have had kids in this school for 5 years now and cannot find much, if anything, to complain about.

Love the splash pad!! It is always busy and packed during the summer, and not always clean.
