Schools in Sparks, NV

“Thrilled with the choice to enroll our daughter at Goddard. Excited to transition our other daughter once she is ready. Staff is friendly, communication and school security is great, most of all the curriculum is wonderful.”

“When I learned that Purple Door Preschool, one of Reno's only play preschools in the area, was opening a campus in Midtown, I knew this was where I wanted my daughter to attend. I had been searching for a play school and positive reviews of the original campus out in Wingfield solidified my decision. I was a stay-at-home mom, so I just wanted an opportunity for my daughter to go a few times a week to socialize with other children and play in a different environment from home. The Purple Door Midtown campus turned out to be the perfect fit for us. My shy daughter, who usually clings to me, found an instructor that made her feel comfortable and safe. Over time she began to open up more and more to other staff and kids. I've seen her gain so much confidence and come out of her shell. She loves doing science experiments, yoga, and baking things while at school. Her teachers let the children follow their interests and get to know the students well, and their families. I've always felt comfortable and safe with my child there and love hearing about all the things she did throughout her day.”

“Sparks Middle School is a good school with an unfortunate reputation due to its location and past events. Once you get past that though you find a great place to go to school for any 6-8 grader. The teachers are defiantly a big part of this, they really go the extra mile to prove that they care. The course work is nothing special though and smarter students may find that they are not challenged in most of their classes. Elective choices are admittedly subpar, they don't include home ec, or shop. The lunch is pretty good but nothing extraordinary for public school food. The feeling of community in this school is like nothing else I have ever experienced at any other school, staff is accommodating and students are usually well behaved unless they are ticked off. The school is very clean for a public school but again nothing special. Another thing I should probably mention is that the heating/ac unit is kind of finicky and breaks sometimes. Overall sparks is a very good middle school from the perspective of a current student of coarse.”

“Our boys started at Excel this fall and our experience has been top notch! Our Kinder teacher is incredible. My son's overall maturity/behavior, penmanship and reading skills are already leaps and bounds advanced in just a few months of instruction and care. My Pre-K child loves going to school and his teachers are so loving and kind. They really understand little kids' needs and feelings. We considered waiting on Private Christian Education for Jr/Sr high, but we are so glad we went all-in during these young, incredibly formative years. Their little hearts and precious minds are saturated in Jesus' love all day. They are learning to process and understand their world from His view. We believe these are the years to do what it takes to surround them in God's love and truth. We're so blessed to have Excel as our kids' school here in Sparks! After reading some of the 1* reviews I have to say that the curriculum is VERY God/Jesus/Bible/Scripture focused. My Kinder kiddo memorizes a full verse each week, which is amazing! Their worksheets are Bible based. They have a scripture based, worship focused chapel each week too with some "high profile" pastors and Christian influencers in our area sharing the Word. As far as the nurse care, I got THREE calls in one day from the nurse, (two administrative thoroughly confirming my kids' Rx med protocol at school and one accident call), haha! The accident call was for a head bump (my kid collided with another in PE). She outlined exactly what happened, how they treated it and even sent a slip home with him with the same info. ZERO concerns here.”
