All those school busses indicates this is at maximum possible congestion condition time.

The blocks around my kids school become an instant popup blockade for about 30 minutes everyday.

Public transit options are so necessary.

Yeah, we are about a mile from my kids' elementary school, so I drive about halfway to the school and walk the rest with them, because I just have zero interest in being stuck in the chaos that is that last quarter mile. Plus, I feel good having them walk a bit to get to school, I like to think it'll get them both used to being on foot more. My older one walks one day a week in a group about a mile to school. The younger one is four, and I have zero expectation that he'd do the entire walk, and even less expectation that we'd get there on time.

Have you thought about a bike bus? A Mile bike ride is very doable if the roads aren't terrible.

Besides a bike bus, if it's just one or 2 kids a well done cargo bike will get them there easily. A mile bike ride is doable even with horrifyingly bad roads.
