Purple Sage Elementary School Reviews

I have two children attending Purple Sage - one in 4th and one in 1st. Can't say enough about what a great school and learning environment this is. Teachers are engaged and available. The special classes of music, PE and art are first rate. And for the most part, parents are involved. Class sizes are small and attention is good. Like that there's a mixed population. Yes, the bilingual/ESOL groups do cause the overall test scores to skew low but if you look at the ratings without, PSE's scores are right up there with the top schools in the area. Low turnover of teachers and staff too. We are very happy to have our kids attending this school!

My child has been at this school for 1 year. He has blossomed. Thanks to the wonderful staff and teachers! Purple Sage is also a bilingual school and has approximately 100 enrolled in the spanish bilingual program. They have really given these bilingual students a great start to their future in life and in their education. The principal leadership has been very good. The communication among parents/guardians is and has always been an open one. The students are in a safe & healthy environment. Purple Sage just had their 25th Birthday. Thanks Purple Sage!

My children have been at Purple Sage for 4 years. Even though it's rating has gone down, the quality of education hasn't. I think the change in rating has to do the bilingual program that has been implemented. The teachers show great concern for the students; the music, art, and PE programs are very good, even including swim lessons! Parent involvement, in my opinion, is average, again due to the addition of bilingual students (there is a lesser percentage of involvement from these parents). Overall, I would recommend this school without hesitation to anyone.
