Great teachers, great STEM learning, great clubs, and wonderful and kind administration.

Coming from the Smith/Sutton cluster we didn’t know what to expect but wow. This is an incredible school focused on each individual child. They quickly identified my child’s academic accomplishments and placed her in a class where she could progress even more. The activities, parental involvement along with IB principles are the icing. Dr. Miller is the most hands on principal I have ever seen. The teachers really care. Many of our neighbors skip the private route because of this school.

The staff at this school are great! The students are very racist. My son had issues with racism the entire school year. It is a predominately Hispanic school, them not liking African Americans is new to us. We dislike no one. I did everything throughout the year to get my son switched out of this school, the board did nothing even with doc notes! My son has never had any issues being in school until he came to this one. This was truly heartbreaking newly moving to this town, and having to deal with this everyday. It was my mistake even moving to this zone not knowing you can’t do anything about it. But this was also my learning experience moving forward in life. Staff done some things to end what was going on, but what honestly can be done when it’s the upbringing of the kids in attendance.

We’ve had such a wonderful experience at The Mount Vernon School, especially in the Preschool program. From the moment my son started in PK2, we felt wrapped in the most caring, positive, and welcoming environment. My son is now in PK3 and absolutely loves going to school each day. His teachers know him so well and make learning so much fun. We’ve seen huge growth in his confidence, independence, and emotional intelligence!The Mount Vernon community as a whole is warm, welcoming, and truly invested in each child. As a parent, it means so much to know he’s in a safe, joyful, and enriching environment where he’s not only learning but truly thriving.Highly recommend Mount Vernon - especially for families looking for an exceptional preschool!
