Chestnut Hill

I have a son in kindergarten and I’ve had the worst experience. He’s really talented when it come to academics but the teachers are teaching so many kids that they don’t have time to really look at all their strengths. I guess that’s public school for you.

Wonderful school. Very tight-knit community. Great administration when I worked there...Mrs. Jackson-Muir, Dr. Beaty, and Dr. Fallen.

We're a military family and moved here in the middle of the school year. I was doing so much research with all the local schools and after reading so many reviews about this school, I was very excited. Sadly, our experience hasn't been great. The teacher does not check emails, which made communication difficult. We also had a few negative experience with one of the front office ladies, who came across as rude and unhelpful.Academically, it seemed like the school was behind where my child had been at their previous school. Much of what was being taught had already been covered earlier in the year. Similarly, my friend, that's also military, noticed the same thing when they moved to the area at a different school, so this is not directly for this school, just a heads up. My child also told me about an incident where the teacher yelled at another student and grabbed something out of his hand because he wasn't paying attention. I wasn't there to witness it myself, but it was concerning to hear about.I know every family's experience is different, but based on ours, we're looking to switch schools next year.
