Our experience at this school was terrific. My son attended Providence Spring for all of his elementary school career, and we could not recommend it more highly. The principal is skilled at staffing her school with top caliber teachers. In our son's fifth grade year, he had one of the best teachers he's

Our daughter is entering the 1st grade and we are very pleased with our PSE experience thus far. My husband and I both work outside of the home and I don't feel that because of this my child gets less attention than a child at PSE with a stay at home parent. I would agree that it seems as if the majority

I feel fortunate to be receiving a private school education for no additional cost. They do participate in a lot of fundraisers but we picked a couple to participate in and skipped the others with no negativity from staff, PTA, etc. Read less

My son is an gifted, mildly ADD rising second grader at PSE and we couldn't be happier. The teachers and administrators assisted my husband and I in gaining an understanding of how our son can reach his full potential. The acedemic work is appropriate for children who want to learn and the parent

The school's leadership seems incompetent when it comes to being able to impartially assess discipline issues at school. The preferred approach is presume guilty and press students to provide the answer the leadership wants to hear, truthful or not. Question the school's leadership's ability to be

The curriculum at this school is definitely on par with some of the prestigious private schools in the area. However, this school does cater to the kids that are wealthy or exceptionally academically gifted. I recently had a 5th grader to graduate from the school and the principal did not just congratulate

The kids who have wealthly parents who have an 'at home' parent that works at the school have a tremendous advantage over those students who have both parents working. Think of the 'Country Club' school and that is Providence Spring. Read less

Providence Spring Elementary is an excellent school! We moved here from Naperville,Il and I was hopeful that our academic experience would be the same as it was Naperville. It was way better! Principal Adams is amazing! She expects the best from everyone and she gets it! The teachers are really dedicated

I have never seen so much homework in my life! Each child that attends PSE works very hard for their grades! However, after working so hard this year, my daughter has improved a great deal in all areas, so, I really can't complain! The parent involvement here is wonderful and it shows throughout the school! We love it here and we feel very blessed to be here! Read less

PSE is a warm and supportive school. When children have problems the staff is quick to respond and individual needs are met. The technology program is cutting edge, thanks to the support of the PTA. SmartBoards are in many classrooms and interactive learning is the standard.

PSE has provided an excellent education, positive character traights, and many years of positive school experiences. From the principle to the teachers, this school is blessed to have the cream of the crop. However, it is the parent involvement that is especially impressive. Our kids have terrific

Mrs. Adams, in my opinion is a genius for surrounding herself with awesome talent. Read less
