Four Seasons

The Counselor of this school has no professionalism, instead of helping the children what she does is make them feel guilty. The worst experience that has happened to my child is this school.

We have no clue what's going on. Our kid is Failing. It's all smiles.nobody cares.

As the year wraps up, I look back on my experience with Veterans Memorial Elementary (VME) and wish we had started here sooner! My son is in 5th grade, and this was his first year at the school. From day one, the staff and students made him feel right at home. The sense of community is incredible; the kids are so welcoming that he never felt like the 'new kid.'We’ve seen a complete turnaround in his emotional health and confidence. Beyond that, the communication from the staff is excellent—they truly partner with parents. Most importantly, his test scores have improved significantly because he finally feels supported and motivated. We couldn't be happier with our decision to join the VME family!

Could not be more happy about the development of my son. His confidence has taken a 180 after the first month of his attendance. The values he is learning at Cedar Montessori are priceless. Thanks so much for being a part of his life Cedar!

We experienced ongoing issues with exclusionary peer dynamics and unkindness that significantly impacted our child emotionally. Most often, there appeared to be a culture of cliques among both students and parents, which made the environment feel less welcoming and inclusive than we had hoped for in a faith-based community.We also felt there was an emphasis on appearances and social status that did not always align with the values the school promotes, especially when moms of the school are being Photoshopped and posted on social media, and families are being titled “royalty” if they donate. Families considering the school may want to look not only at academics, but also what rpa truly stands for and if it aligns with your faith based values and how social and emotional well-being, kindness, and inclusion are fostered within the student culture.

The school does not value academic success. They are way too easy on the students, especially in middle school. They have a no homework policy which harms the students and prevents them from learning. The academic rigor and encouragement to push students to work and learn is not there. A majority of the students do not value hard work or education. I would send your child elsewhere, especially for middle school. There a few teachers who are really good and value learning and want to teach students how to work and learn, but the administration does not seem to value that. Also, the field trips are very expensive. They cater to a certain crowd.
