“I'm worried about this school after they joint with Carey School kids. Underwood is a great school with very nice children and nice teachers. I'm so glad that my child got a chance to go there. Hopefully, they will continue to keep a great school for all the children in Underwood School next year.”

“We are a military family and have been involved in several schools. I am also a teacher and have very high standards for the schools that my children attend. Underwood Elementary is a fabulous school. The faculty is extremely qualified and caring. The Prinicpal, 'Mrs. G' is marvelous. The curriculum is challenging my children (grades 1 and 5) in ways that they have not been challenged before. I would highly recommend this school and the Newport school district to any of my friends.”

“The teachers at Underwood are outstanding but the facility and ability to meet the needs of special education students leaves much to be desired. We are a military family and have experienced schools/school districts in CA, VA and KS and by comparison, the facilities at all the Newport schools are truly substandard.”

“I have a son in the fourth grade and had a daughter go through Underwood and will attend college next year. Underwood's base education was great 12 years ago and under the present principal and the updated curriculum the school has improved tremendously.”

“I have been overly impressed with the staff here, however, the lower school, in particulat grade 1 seems not to be on the same page as the rest of the school. Grade3 and 4 are perhaps the best classrooms/teachers in the entire district.”
