Belhaven Woods

One of the best elementary schools in the county and I’m incredibly surprised it’s only showing up as a 7/10—that’s a head-scratcher(should at least be a 9/10!)…Incredible, hard-working staff and lovely principal! The community involvement is top-notch, too! Parents are invested here and it shows! Teachers can ACTUALLY teach here—not just manage behaviors all day, which means ACTUAL learning can take place. Maybe the only downside here is due to local demographics, cultural diversity isn’t strong. Regarding previous poster…be wary of any parent posting about their singular experience with their “spirited” child….

Great school. Caring teachers. All 3 of my kids go here and they love it. My 1 so has an IEP and has been getting some grey extra learning on the side.

I truly don’t understand how this school has a 5/10 rating. It is an amazing school with dedicated teachers who create an outstanding learning environment. Educators like Mrs. Steinmetz, along with many others, go above and beyond to support and inspire their students. This rating does not reflect the quality of education or care provided here, and I believe it deserves to be revisited.

Nice small school that is very easy to make friends at

My children have flourished both academically and emotionally at SJF. Their experience with teachers, administration and peers has always been positive even during those rough middle schools years. Two of my children are now off to high school with fond memories of caring, proactive teachers and a level of preparation that has awarded them scholarships and honors classes. SJF was once rumored to be closing but with full classes and a state certified pre-K program the enrollment has risen. SKF certainly has been an important part of the community for over 70 years now. Don’t listen to negative unfounded comments. We love our #sjfonefamily!
