Le Directeur leurs professeurs et le reste du personnel sont sinc rement au niveau donn sur ce site! Nos enfants se sentent l'aise dans cette Ecole Coeur d'Alene et cela se refl te sur leur progr s scolaire.

Excellent school. Feels like a private school without the "cliques" or without the competition of who has the fastest car or the most expensive toys. The emphasis is all about academics and being part of a local community that makes a difference in our world.

Great school great library great after school programs great math program in fourth grade for gifted students.it getting a little crowded in the upper grades and a few disruptive students suck up a lot of the teachers time and energy.no science to speak of in fifth grade. No homework in fifth either. Kids r a little surprised in sixth grade with the amount of homework.

I'm extremely satisfied with this school. It has so much parent involvement. and communication is sent thru email which is always answered appropriately. I have 3 kids in different grades from k-5 and they are all very happy and learning. They have great teachers and the principal sits in classes to see the students progress. They also offer tutoring to students if he sees where it is needed and that is a definite plus to see such great support. I couldn't be happier and it will be hard to find another school for my older child next year

Great teachers!!!!!! Wish Principle Jenkins had better interpersonal skills would make sharing with less him confrontational.

Great school lots of options for after school. If it had a better science program it would be perfect public school

We moved to Los Angeles this summer and moved into this neighborhood specially because of the great ratings C D'A had received. The school has not disappointed. The school is made up of a wonderful community of families. It was important to me that a school be strong academically but also be diverse and have offerings in the arts and this school has all of that. There is a really great energy to this school and I credit the Principal teachers and families that have come before me for that. I have also never seen anything like the fundraising that takes place at this school it is phenomenal! This is the reason the kids at this school have so many great experiences. I couldn't be happier with my choice to send my daughter here.

Strong parent community caring and involved teachers committed principal who stresses learning and values and the arts high expectations kids who meet them. It is especially wonderful that this school focuses on high achievement for all children whether wealthy offspring of entertainment industry professionals or kids from the homeless shelter and is largely successful. Every morning you see lots of local parents. The librarian is a gem and curates engaging books that kids want to read. Lots of fundraising events with high participation and the money goes directly to support arts music PE and all those other things that all schools should have. Afterschool STAR program is awesome my son loves his EcoStation class 5 kids and the teacher brings in snakes and bearded dragons and tarantulas. We were new here this year and my kid is thriving.

3 years ago my son start Pre-K with an absolutely fantastic teacher to help him in his new academic life! since that Kinder Garden has been amazing and First Grade looks really good I am looking forward to write great reviews years after years. I love Coeur D Al ne because of the energy and all the people working there our charismatic principal who step by step makes our kids life a wonderful journey and the fact that it's a very cosmopolitan school fill full of different culture and very open mind people. I am so thankful that my son is able to attend this school. ;)

Coeur d'Alene Elementary is an outstanding school. It has an amazing cohesive staff who collaborate and work together by grade levels. A very dynamic principal who supports teachers and get things done efficiently and wonderful students who learn to be patient give "I" statements and who want to be here. The school is very ethnically diverse and a variety of children speak more than one language. The parents are whole-heartedly involved sponsoring one of the best booster clubs in the city. They donate time and money to make this public school a near private school with art poetry teaching assistants etc. Being a teacher here you really feel good about coming to work each day knowing that you are going to be productive and leave an impact!

We have an excellent principal at Coeur d Alene Elementary. He is the only principal in the several schools I have worked on over the years who actually regulary goes out on the school yard to supervise at recess and lunch recess.

THANK YOU Coeur D Alene. What an amazing community to belong to. Kudos to our new(ish) principal and all of the amazing teachers and staff who make this school the gem that it is. I have one daughter in 5th grade and another in 2nd. I send them to school every day knowing that they are happy to be there and that they are building academic as well as social skills. All of the new enrichment opportunities in the last couple of years have been a great addition to daily standard curriculum. Lots of parent involvement and great kids.

Coeur d' Alene is a great school. I am a little surprised by reading some of the reviews below. Our new principal has definitely improved our school in so many areas. This will be the second year of our spelling bee so fun! He organized a math night with kids and parents and has brought many choices for after school enrichment classes. I am thrilled with the direction Coeur d'alene is going. We have a wonderful involved principal and a great staff. Keep it up CdA!!

I've started to have concerns about the new principal. In his first year as a principal and his first at our wildly successful public elementary school he has helped us lose 20 API points alienated several families who moved their kids out of the school cancelled popular advanced classes because he does not believe in them philosophically and keeps on mentioning the idea of changing to a charter school. I can't believe that one person will "destroy" what so many have worked so hard to create here in our neighborhood but this along with the budget cuts we've been experiencing has gotten me worried about the future of this school.

The great thing about this school is that the parent community is very active and engaged. Principal Jenkins is a great leader who is attentive to detail and really cares about the kids. There are lots of after school activities full arts and music programs and class sizes are still pretty decent.

My child was in that Math Club. SHE LOVED IT and it brought her 2 up to a 3 in one grading period and she felt great about that. Boo to the new principal.

THis school has a new principal. Check the major drop in the state testing!!! It will only get worse from here. He has cancelled math club because it "makes kids feel bad" if the aren't doing well. This new principal will not take feedback from parents. Is fixated on getting students "proficient" Instead of excellent. Our child dropped from being borderline gifted to barely proficient in 1 year with this staff. PARENT BEWARE!!!!!!

Every neighborhood should be so lucky as to have a public school like Coeur d'Alene. My children have had excellent teachers in the past 5 years and I am very happy with the new principal. He makes a point of knowing all the children in the school visits the classrooms regularly and supervises the playground himself on most days. I do not agree that the yard is wild and I like the changes he's made so that students have grade level areas on the yard - more choices fewer problems. The teachers are caring and have high academic expectations. The parents are very involved. Students have a great arts program during and after school. They just opened a STAR program this last semester with fun after school classes. Thank you Coeur d'Alene!

Wonderful community of involved parents. Hard working concerned teachers. Enthusiastic principal. Happy students. Bright future.

There are too many people on this site and others that would rather complain about a problem than put forth the effort towards its resolution. We should all assist in the educational endeavor our children are confronted with. It seems we favor holding the State accountable for what we as parents are ultimately responsible for. I would challenge ALL who read post and discuss to volunteer and assist the new principal the hard-working teachers and our children to accomplish our mutual goal a GREAT education. There are many opportunitites to assist and if you have not you should; if you have already do more . The bar is set far too low. Let's raise it together and make the school better each and every year!!! It starts with YOU tomorrow!!!
