You must be a rigid rule follower to succeed in this school. They don't understand kids who are gifted or mildly ADHD. Event Kindergarteners are held to high standards behavior-wise. It felt like a prison for my daughter so had to pull her out and put her in a charter school.
Posted by a parent on 3/27/2026If your child is not compliant with every single rule, even in kindergarten when they're still learning, you will be singled out. School seriously lacks diversity as well.
Posted by a parent on 9/12/2024Weird vibe from teachers, principal, and office workers at this school. Rude to parents and horrible at teaching. Seems like everyone is miserable on a daily basis. Always begging for donations, and never enough for them. Poor money management when they get donations.
Posted by a parent on 11/16/2023My soon-to-be 5th grader has been at Poinsettia for 6 years (including TK). We've experienced dedicated teachers and committed students year after year! The average class size is about 25. We love it!
Posted by a parent on 6/13/2022Amazing teachers at all grade levels. Both my kids went to school here and every teacher has been great! Very lucky to have had such academic teachers tor my children.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSanderling Waldorf School is the best decision our family has ever made. Our daughter enrolled at Sanderling in second grade. She absolutely loves going to school and is thriving academically, socially and emotionally. The teachers and administrators are some of the most lovely, supportive people I've ever met, who have a deep reverence for child development and understanding of Waldorf pedagogy. Children at Sanderling love to learn! A walk through the halls will be met with children chopping vegetables for homemade soup, knitting handmade items, playing stringed instruments, and creating the most beautiful artwork in their main lesson books. The yard outside is full of vegetables and flowers that the children have planted. You'll see children jump roping to learn multiplication and fifth graders training for the pentathlon. I highly recommend you take a tour and see what Waldorf education is all about!Parent Review2y ago - REDEEMER BY THE SEA LUTHERAN KINDERGARTEN&PRESCHL
