We spent 7 years with two children at this school. Teaching teams for each grade were great, extremely devoted professionals, and worked very hard to get to know each child. A strong culture of manners and respect. The Principal is willing to consider change and adaptation. We don't understand the angst about having 5th graders in the school - there are plenty of kids who successfully attend K-8 schools... and it was a non issue for both of our kids when they were 5th graders. PTO is entrenched -- if you see things their way, and want things done the way they always have been, great. Stay away if you don't.

We began at Stormonth with a 1st grader in the fall of 2016. He has ADHD and could be difficult to manage in a classroom setting. The teachers, for the most part, were fantastic, and the school counselor really connects with kids who need more help. The instruction is top notch, with experienced teachers who have been there for, in some cases, decades. They tailor their instruction to different learning styles and engage is so much hands-on learning. There is a maker space and an amazing playground with tons of green space, plus an ice rink in the winter. The music, art, and gym programs are fully funded. In fact this year the school purchased a kiln for the art program. Each year there is a spring musical, a folk festival, a huge halloween event, a safety week in conjunction with the local police department, a 5K color run, and so many more fun community activities. The parent community is also amazing.

Many opportunities for students and very caring staff and teachers.
