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

Amanda Castanon Great school, very kind staff that helped make my kid feel welcomed as he transferred in half the way through the year. The entrance is right next to the Eastside community center though, maps will take you to the staff parking lot or a neighborhood behind the school.

Jordan Leupold I have done everything required for my sons enrollment and it was all completed August 13th. I was told that I would receive 2 emails within 24 hours. One welcome email with everything needed to get started and one with tracking numbers for his computer and course materials. It is August 26th. We have received no emails and nothing my mail. My enrollment portal says he is accepted and enrolled. I spent 5 HOURS on the phone today trying to get through to a human being to just have my time completely wasted. In all that time I got through to 3 people who gave me the same non helpful information that I had already told them over and over that I had tried. They all then transferred me (after I begged them not to because I had already tried) to the enrollment department THAT WAS JUST AN AUTOMATED MENU THAT HUNG UP ON ME NO MATTER WHAT I TRIED. I LEAVE FOR A WORK TRIP TOMORROW MORNING AND DO NOT RETURN UNTIL THE EVENING BEFORE SCHOOL STARTS. So now I have NO SCHOOL set up for my son to start. We used k12 in 2017 with no problems and this has been nothing but a disaster. You’d think things would improve over time but apparently not. I am so unbelievably angry I can’t stand it. This school is a disaster. Update: it’s been 3 weeks, school has started and my son still isn’t enrolled and still no one has returned a single one of my 30 voicemails.

MariaJo Love WAVA!! My graddaughter has learned more in on year of WAVA then she ever has learned in many years of public school. The teachers are great & assist you where you need it. The SPED program is amazing & listens to all needs & concerns. I am forever greatful to everyone on the team. We are continuing to choose WAVA for many years to come.

J G I spoke with my daughter about what we like most about (Insight) School Choice. We decided that the way the teaching staff make sure she understands the subject matter is awesome. We also appreciate the set up of the WAVA web sight and how easy it is for her to learn using it. Thank you from Chrissy and her LC...keep doing great work!

Amber Gordon-Muse We cannot give this school enough praise. The teachers and faculty are amazing. They have a calling for this school and the students. Cor Deo offers a tight community of students, parents, and families who champion children in the ways of God through academics. The education offered at this school is first class. Come experience the warmth and support for our community and children

r Rude and unpleasant staff

Heather ONeill Cor Deo has been such a blessing to our family. Classical Christian education has been amazing; we see it working in our children daily. He recited Robert Frost in kindergarten and talked about Vikings in second grade. The teachers hold the students to a high standard but are also the kindest and supportive teachers. I say I cannot love another teacher more every year, and then I say it again the next year. Beyond academics, the community is so caring and connected. I know all the families in my sons class; we always talk and communicate. The school is smaller, with one class per grade (more or less), and everyone knows about everyone. Its been the best school experience, and I am excited to see our sons school career play out at Cor Deo.

Kim Bonham Love it great staff

byron zee My daughter fell off the stairs. Her teacher downplayed the issue. They didnt return my call when I made complaints. I had to call several times to several different people in order to make my complaint. They provide no school nurse or principal so they basically can do what they please without anyone holding them accountable. Im dissatisfied with the way they handled my daughters care and neglecting to supervise her. I am horrified by the staff their lack of compassion towards kids and their needs they are Not willing to take responsibility when they are wrong they show no interest in important matters to them a child is just a number that can be replaced thats how they came out with their approach Please Do Not enroll your kids in this unprofessional school they do Not know how to truly care for kids and teach Save Your Time!!! This place is really Scarry!!

Christian Sanner Great school, very positive involvement.

Minh Le I’m right now and a new group is so awesome. You guys have to try it right now, but the grass is not ready yet. It’s open to the public now five stars.

Waah (Wuh-oh) Now I’m not sure if this is the right one but I do remember going to an old school with this name and lemme tell u how this is one of my most favorite most nostalgic preschool I’ve went to (even tho I only went to one). I loved playing with the toys there and hanging out during recess. I remember that big yellow slide (I think it’s yellow?) and the swing set. But anyways yeah I loved this

A Harris Mrs. Natasha and her family have a gorgeous home and the space she has set up for the kids is inviting and full of life and activities. She is extremely kind and patient with the children, and even after meeting her for the first time, my kids are begging to go back!! Definitely worth the money, Id trust her with my babies any day!
