Robert L Forbuss Elementary School Reviews

There are NOT enough reviews to support the BEST school in the district. The principal, teachers, support staff, PTA - ALL make a difference in the lives of the children that attend. If you believe in: it takes a village to raise a child, then this is the school you must enroll your child in- move to the ZONE! You will not be dissatisfied! The lanyards and pins for awards, an ice cream truck at Field Day, the Fall Festival, Missoula Children's Theatre, book fairs- field trips to go fishing? I'm a teacher of another school in the same area, and we cannot compare to the richness of being a kid at Forbuss. Congrats on celebrating kids - above and beyond ALL other schools of which I have ever known. To the Principal- your spirit of FUN is so meaningful...

This is a wonderful school with a loving, caring staff. The resource department is great and our daughter has been greatly helped. The principal is very involved with the students. The school awards system has greatly motivated both of our children to strive for more each trimester!

This is a great school despite of being new. Great principal, asst. principal, teachers, staff, parents and a very supportive community. This school is very creative too. I'm glad to have my two daughters in this school.

I have a first grader at Forbuss Elementary and I have been SO impressed with this school. I was hesitant about putting my child in the public school system here in Las Vegas and I have found nothing to be concerned about. The principal and assistant principal are amazing and dedicated to the students. My sons teacher could not be better! He is being challenged and rewarded for his hard work constantly. I have also noticed that last year (the schools first year) there were two employees at the school who were not kind or professional and they are both gone this year, and that impresses me. Only the best at Forbuss!

I could not love this school more. The Principal is great, very involved in the day to day running of the school, easy to get in touch with, quick to work with you on anything that might come up. The teachers are wonderful too. I am so happy my kids get to go to Forbuss.
