“We have been at Spoede for 4 years now and it is fantastic. We love how much the teachers/staff care about every child. They go out of their way to help every individual child. Even teachers who have not taught my children know who my kids are which I really like. The school is very big on communication and goes out of it's way to make sure that everyone is included and informed for all activities. The best part is the invidual attention both of my children have received every year. It might of been more help with Math or Reading and even Speech, they were very proactive and reached out to give them the extra support they needed. We love Spoede!”

“Kudos to the new principle who made a wonderful school even better! I was told prior to my child attending Spoede school, 'Spoede's teaching staff & services are as close to private as you will ever see in a public school setting.' However, I don't believe a traditional private school would have the depth of resources for enrichment & gifted programs. Spoede offers gym class daily, has one of the best elementary outdoor learning centers in the nation, a full music, art & Spanish curriculum coupled with a new 'state of the art' library & computer lab. We participate in the active Parents Association & overall parental involvement is exceptionally high. The teachers and support staff go the extra mile to make sure all the children's needs are met. Our daughter has flourished with the low teacher to student ratio & the culturally diverse student body. Six stars for Spoede!”

“This school has been such a blessing to our two kids, one of which has an IEP (individual education plan). She is in kindergarten and has grown by leaps and bounds this year thanks to the devoted teachers and staff at Spoede.”

“My experience with this school has been great. It is a school with a very diverse student body in terms of ethnicity and ability levels. The teachers work very hard to reach each student at his/her level of ability and help them grow academically (and socially). They know their students well, and are very helpful and responsive to parental concerns. The academic programs are excellent; reviewed and improved continually. By and large, the students here perform very well academically. Music, art and athletics are part of the regular curriculum with great full-time staff in these areas. There is a high level of parent involvement, and many opportunities for parents to get involved. Spoede has a very active parent's association. All in all it is a wonderful learning community that my children and I are happy to be a part of.”
