If you child is bullied at this school, they will teach your child 'strategies' so they will not be bullied. They will teach them to jump through hoops trying to figure out how not to be bullied. Nothing will be done about the bully. Then they will tell you your child is just too 'sensitive' or 'misunderstands

I am glad we didn't go to the school you went to where they behaved worse than at Exley! Children at another school are so much more respectful and polite than at Exley. Example: At Exley, parent brings cupcakes to school and children behave like pigs and ask for bigger cupcakes. My child has many

As for the comments about cliques and children being unfriendly, that is not my experience at Exley at all. I have been in many schools over the years (8) and there are fewer cliques and poorly behaved children at Exley than in any other school I've been in. I'm confident my child's remaining years at Exley will be as wonderful as the last two. Read less

Teachers are too young. My child is a 4th grader and every teacher except 1 was in her 20's and had never had a child.
