Windsor Farm Elementary is a wonderful school with a supportive tight-knit community. Go Eagles!

I’m a parent of a kids in the Annapolis lower school. The school administration is a mess! The principal should be replaced. The student standardized test scores dropped significantly because of the elementary school principal making the curriculum less challenging especially in math over the years and not retaining many qualified longstanding teachers. Many of the new teachers hired do not have college degrees or formal teaching experience. Also, parents are constantly solicited for funds to provide expensive gifts (e.g., designer bags, vacations, large checks) for personal use to lower school leadership with the implication that their child will receive preferential treatment. Parents are tired of it and all talk about it.

NAPS is such a special place! The faculty is caring and loving. It is clear that the teachers love what they do. There is a wonderful feel to the school the moment you walk in the door. There is a joy that is palpable! The academics are strong and the children take music, PE, French, library, art, and mindfulness along with a STEAM class. Kindness is the culture at NAPS. There is now a middle school complete with extracurricular sports and activities.

Our children attend Chesapeake Academy and we are beyond delighted with all the school has to offer. We receive weekly communications from the teacher about current and upcoming classroom activity, frequent updates (with pictures sometimes!) about a given lesson, and are in awe of the way our kids' teachers deliver. We get tons of info in a weekly newsletter from school and have found the PTA to be really committed and generous with supporting events at the school. We love that there is not only a head of school, but a highly qualified academic director working to continually update the curriculum with teachers. Our kids LOVE Spanish, art, music, PE in the full-size gym, and the tight-knit community. Most importantly, the character development and respect displayed by the students here is absolutely genuine and such a huge part of what makes Cheasapeake Academy so special.

Very good. I feel my child is safe when at school, that the teachers and administration genuinely care.
