As an educator myself, I tend to have high expectations for schools, and Melville has far exceeded those expectations in every category! This school is exceptional in its teaching practices, responsiveness to families and students, and community atmosphere. I'm genuinely impressed on a daily basis at the creativity of the lessons my child revives and the expertise of the teachers in their delivery of the content, and I particularly love how the students all feel like they are truly part of a school family. In the rare instances where our child had a problem at school, we were contacted within an hour of expressing our concerns, told all of the internal steps being taken to resolve the issue, and offered a meeting with the school team within 48 hours. I will also add my child actually flourished at this school throughout the pandemic, to include the distance leaning portion. If this group of educators can make that period of time productive and positive, just imagine how they do their jobs on a regular day! It's a truly magical place for kids!!
