So thankful we found this school!! Didn't know too much about Montessori philosophy/curriculum when first son started 4-and-a-half-years-ago, but it's exactly what we needed. The kids spend 3 years in a 'community' with their teachers. This alone has deepened the educational experience, where a true

Since this is a public magnet school, the kids are exposed to an enriching diversity, which is a reflection of our city. When the school community comes together for events and programs there is a very nice energy and positive atmosphere. Read less

Our kids just started there this year after transitioning from another school and they love it! We were afraid it would be tough for them to change from a Catholic school to a Montessori one but it wasn't at all. Like the diversity, also, since our kids are 'minorities' and that is good for them to

My children have been going to Dater for 4 years. Families choose homes based on schools. Well this is what we did. We decided that we would like to live where we wanted our children to attend, and our choice, without any regrets, has and continue to be Dater Montessori. I find it troubling to be

I have two children attending Dater, both of whom have been there since kindergarten. I have been extremely disappointed with the education my children are receiving. The lack of communication and the lack of teachers willing to work with parents has really become a huge issue and I am currently searching

Also, the temporary building on Grand Ave. is less than desirable. There is absolutely no parking for parents and there has been a lot of crime on the campus. Read less
