This is our second school year here and by far the best school. There isn’t a ton of homework, my children can usually be done all of their homework in 10-15 minutes at max. The communication among the teachers, the principal, as well as the “special” teachers is amazing. I can email or call and get a response in minutes. They allow us and the teacher additional communication through an app. The teachers also send photos here and there so you can see your child throughout the day or a cool activity they may have done or are doing. My one child has a 504 plan, some difficulties and differences and this school has handled it all and communicated effectively throughout. Thus far I have not had any problems with safety, or harsh punishments within the school or the community. The community as a whole is so welcoming and very involved through and through. They allow so many opportunities for families and parents to be involved throughout the year between trips, fun days or even just reading a story to the children sometimes. Best school, hands down.

I use to be a student in Clementon Elementary school and I can whole heartedly say if you have the choice of another school, CHOOSE IT. The principal is disliked by his staff & students, the school is constantly filled with a horrendous sewage smell, the students are not safely kept from the littles in the hall (which is dangerous for both as a tripping hazard) and more. The teachers though are excellent! I cannot say enough about how amazing the teachers are in the midst of the chaos, while as you get into the older grades the teachers will NOT care for you or your child as much if they are 1. shy 2. struggling with grades (they are honestly ignored because you will NOT be held back) and 3. being bullied. If your student is struggling it’s not a problem at all because they won’t be held back or provided any extra support.

Excellent in all aspects of elementary education!

This school was a waste of money and time spend....BIGGEST mistake made..... If your child doesn't fit into their box of perfect child behavior, not equip for special needs or kids w/ emotional supports..... They have very small classrooms. They have veteran teachers who cannot manage a classroom of a kids when she has an aid and when some of those kids don't even attend, their full-time be prepared to be called as early as 9 AM 10 AM to come pick up your young child because they're not listening or they are crying. The teacher cannot manage it. They will constantly ask for donations in addition to the tuition that you were paying, but cannot take the extra time to provide emotional guidance, emotional care or even build a therapeutic teacher student relationship in order to help improve your child's behavior. They will make decisions that benefit their facility and money that they want instead of what is best for your child. The teachers have no sense of professionalism. They were discuss your child in a negative way to you in a public setting while picking up why are you picking them up in the front line? No concept of this should be a private conversation. This is privilege conversation. Maybe this is some kind of violation of privacy to the parent. They will not work with you when it comes to your child, but they will easily kick them out and tell you hey you can try next semester. Hey you could try again next year but hey, I want your money. Those decisions also leave for their benefit the teachers have the people that they like is a small school all of them or family members or friends that they know each other outside of the school they don't take the time to Willie build that relationship with that parent or that child you would think a teacher who teach young kids would have a good pour with them would have a good alliance. There's none of that at least not to the parents that they don't know outside of the school when you see the teachers that they don't really try to engage with you you're trying to like build some kind of relationship or poor is very flat very cold very distant. They don't have hot lunches. They don't have a cafeteria. They order sandwiches and pizzas on Fridays. How many sandwiches can you could eat? They don't have a true playground a grass area for the kids to play. They have a smaller area for this young kids.If you are a minority, kids have special needs or needs emotional support, RUN!!!! Far away....

The absolute best there is!!! as an alum and now a parent I can say with confidence there is no better school out there.
