(3 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - i like the students in my grade which is 5th but i think they should cut off 6th because there is too many kids. The best 5th teacher is ms.danko for sure in my opinion. The staff and other teachers are good to but i love mrs roth she is nice but strict. As a student at Atherwood i beleve kids should have a choice for where they sit. I mean dont u get enough of your classmates in class? overall atherwood is an awsome school

(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - This is a great school. Love all staff and great teachers. Very nice area. They really care about the kds and get involved. yard dutys are very nice also. As a parent I always felt welcomed and helped out and well informed. only problem was drop off and pick up traffic is very horrible, they need a bigger parking lot maybe clear the grass on the side and make it a parking lot would really help.
