Adobe West School

Unfortunately underpaid and overworked staff.My daughter attended this school (kindergarten).She was bullied several times. Kids throwing rocks at her head , chocking her , pulling her pants down. Etc.If you care about your children this school needs to be the last option on your list.

We, too, have experienced favoritism, rudeness, and aggressive behavior from staff working at CTA Goodman. In my humble opinion, children this age should be learning academics, rules, proper behavior, etc. Not treated like they are in military school! There are two sides to this school; the employees who care, are kind, and have patience, the other side couldn't care less who you are, prefer perfection out of the children, and are very harsh with how they treat and speak to children. I believe some people just shouldn't be around children. There are more than a handful at this school, including the Principal. I mean "pal" is in her title; however, this is not the case here.

We have 3 children at Sirrine and they all love it. Each has had a wide variety of different needs over the years including gifted and talented, speech therapy and extra help with staying focused and learning/implementing appropriate social emotional behaviors. At every step of our journey, the teachers, principal and ancillary staff has been thoroughly supportive and has provided clear communication regarding both plan and progress. If you are interested in the Montessori approach, this school is amazing. It is Montessori led with all of the benefits of a public school - such a perfect blend of the two. With an eclectic and highly involved parent network, there are many opportunities to volunteer your time or resources as you wish. From chaperoning field trips, running a game station at Fall Festival or simply donating baking supplies, you can participate to whatever degree works with your current family situation. Sirrine has a beautiful and loving community and is a great school where children thrive, no matter their individual needs. Highly recommend!

We were so sad to pull our kids out of Summit but unfortunately Principal Deignan doesn't seem interested in or capable of continuing the great legacy of Summit Academy. Every teacher my kids had were wonderful, committed, knowledgeable and kind. I can not say enough good things about the teachers and staff. Unfortunately the administration is not operating at the same caliber of excellence.
