We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

My son just finished his first year of TK and he loved his school. Mrs. Barnyak, Mrs Nikki, Mr. Close, and Mrs. Wood were awesome and help my autistic son thrive in his first year.

I have dealt with Avaxat for a couple of years now. They have a new principal. I thought things could not get worse for the school but it sure has. Lack of safety, lack of staff and lack of supervision for students. Some of these issues are from the district level that they refuse to address.

I’ve had 4 kids attend Avaxat. I love the faculty and staff and their willingness to teach kids. I absolutely will recommend this school. Safe walking distance for neighboring homes.

Mrs. Moe is by far the best teacher my children have ever had! She had my son in 5th grade, and my other in 3rd grade. I believe she is now teaching kinder. New principal is nice, but we really miss Mr. Parla! Thanks for everything, Avaxat!
