Poor administration the priority isn't the student's education and well being but passing state tests for funding. Its the administration who are the bullies and frown upon a concerned parent for making sure their child is being treated with care. They cover the teachers there is no student advocacy!

Homework policy accommodates lazy parents without time to spend on their kids. This elementary school says homework should just review what has been learned. And another elementary school not 10 miles away says homework should be challenging and extends and builds learning.

We love the Montessori Children's House and have been going here since my son was 18 months. The new staff and teachers are wonderful and my son has truly flourished in this environment. They provide healthy lunches and snacks, open age grouping, and an effective education method that works developed by Maria Montessori. As the children are learning letters they learn through their senses and first learn the sounds then to draw on sandpaper cut out letters then in a small board of sand. The environment is very home-like, comfortable, sensorial, global, and human. When it is busy it has a beautiful humming sound as the kids grab their own work and begin their day under the observation and gentle guidance of the teacher, whose presence is hardly noticed by an outside observer. She floats and observes and facilitates. Snacks are healthy. Peaceful resolution of problems is a key focus. I volunteer for some Spanish education. I dust off the sand before helping my excited, engaged, and exhausted child into the car at the end of a day. They have a sand lion pet as well as a tadpole. My child is respected and loved here.

This school is racist. Not everyone here is racist but most are. Teachers don't like certain kids and they will group together in order to fail certain kids. They are evil and wrong. Karma does not miss.
