Top Rated 15 Schools in Vancouver, WA - A Guide for Parents and Students

Brooke Byers I was in Dental Year 1 and Year 2 and I loved it very much. Everyone is so welcoming there and the staff is amazing. I have learned so much while being here and I would definitely recommend Cascadia to juniors and seniors

Gabrielle Weisenborn I loved going to Skills Center. I took the Criminal Justice program and fell in love. I had an amazing instructor who taught us well. I also learned a lot in the year that I was there. I entered the program as a senior in high school, and I wish that I had another year in the program so I could do the internship that was designed for second years. Our instructor provided a good learning environment, and made it fun. We did lots of educational activities, as well as sat down and took notes. I would recommend the Skills Center to anyone I knew if they were looking for further education in the programs that they offer. I have nothing but good things to say about this school, and I am proud that I was able to attend.

Frances Winston Dropped my 16 year old to get her hair colored. I asked how everything went. Tells me the girls up front & the instructor kept asking her about payment and one said she better be paying. Before I left I asked if I should pay at that time and was told after the service. What kind of example are you setting being rude to a kid while she is waiting to be picked up by the person paying. Did you get the money? Yeah at what expense? When I file my formal complaint with the district, Im in hopes that will satisfy this anger that came on when my daughter was telling me. Cuz I can be a bully too .. just saying

Diane Williams Goddard’s commitment to excellence is readily apparent in their commitment to a detailed and thoughtful curriculum, prompt communication and a welcoming and friendly environment. Our kiddo has been in the school over a year and we are thrilled with the level of care they receive, and their feedback is the same. They LOVE Goddard and we could not be happier with the care and love he receives at the school!

Roman T Our little one went here for two years and we have nothing but great things to say about the place, faculty and management. The director is the nicest, most patient person you will ever meet. The teachers here were soo amazing that my son (he no longer goes here) still talks to me about how much he loves them. On multiple occasions, they have gone way above and beyond to accommodate, encourage, and elevate my son. This Goddard location will always be my first recommendation to anyone looking for daycare.

Kaitlin Brent Both my kids love Goddard School! The teachers are educated, patient and kind. The administration is beyond considerate, extremely well organized and communicative. The building is well maintained and clean. We have many positive experiences here and highly recommend them. They are flexible, have been accommodating in unusual circumstances and caring.

M THE WORST NEIGHBORS EVER! This school puts up a road two feet off our fence line about 15 feet from our house. The traffic in the morning & afternoon is busy, loud and frequently backed up with cars honking. They are now building two more school buildings. The roads werent meant for a doubling of the traffic. They held Lacrosse practice and shattered our sliding glass door, we had to pay for this, they did not! They had a extremely large high capacity tent set up outside our house for 9 days from dusk to dawn playing very loud Christian rock music in the middle of the summer. It made it extremely hard to work from home. We couldnt hear our TV over this music! I called and politely asked them to turn it down, I got a very rude snarky response back! They didnt have an address for the field, so they gave out our neighbor’s address. So instead of driving to the field or dropping by the school, our neighbors got numerous people knocking on their front door looking for the Christian Rock music event. This same uncaring obnoxious school is now undertaking a large construction project! We try to treat people the way wed want to be treated. Given their history I can only believe they will be a long couple years. This is no way to treat your neighbors or anybody for that matter!

Matt Waggoner Love this school and how it is preparing our daughters for the real world. Big five stars and shout outs to all of the staff. We could never imagine having them attend anywhere else!

Crystal Little We are wrapping up our first year at Kings Way and we love it here! My daughters are thriving. They are engaged in the learning process, they are challenged by their teachers and LOVE school again. Ive been in the classrooms and have witnessed how wonderful the teachers are and how supportive Mr. Judd is. The teachers break down math and reading in a way that makes sense and makes it fun while always pushing kids to be their best. They also support kids socially and emotionally and I have seen them pour into them in a way that enables the kids to stand firm in who they are so that they can confidently handle anything that comes their way. My daughters also love chapel & the Christmas and Easter programs were highlights of our year. Other reasons we love Kings Way is all the additional offerings they have from library, PE twice a week, makers space, enrichment, music, (spanish and band when they get a little older), and our favorite, the morning mile. The morning mile offers time for connecting with friends and teachers and also promotes physical activity and a wonderful mindful start to each day. When picking a school it was important to us to find one that was accepting of non-believers as my husband is agnostic. We also wanted a school that cared about academics, challenged students, encouraged physical activity and health, created opportunities for social connection and offered a structure and foundation that enables a wonderful supportive learning environment. We found that at Kings Way and it is worth EVERY penny to see my girls happy, healthy and growing each day. I was also really impressed with the foresight and planning that went into the safety team and appreciate how committed they are to preparing for all the things we hope we never have to deal with.

akhil raghuram We had both our kids at this school. Excellent school from the little kids HoneySuckle room to the kindergarten level. Great set of teachers, who care. both kids thrived in the atmosphere set by the administration. They are now doing well at the adjoining Cascadia School which is also Montessori based.

Tiffany Landers Both of our children started at Vancouver Montessori when they were 12 months old. We couldnt have asked for a more rewarding environment that encouraged independence and helped them become more confident. Seeing them learn at their own pace and be so ingrained into learning was more than we could ask for. A friend recommended Vancouver Montessori to our family and we couldnt imagine them anywhere else.

Jane tesner kleiner Our son thoroughly enjoyed his two years at this school. He thrived in the calm and caring environment and would recommend this school to our friends.
