The school dismisses parent concerns. Persuades parents away from SpEd. Does not follow an IEP with fidelity. The teachers are kind, but rigor is low. Teachers neither challenge nor support students. If you are an affluent family with good genes, your child will engage in pseudo learning and enjoy t
Posted by a parent on 5/9/2025We are so happy and lucky to have found Sycamore. The entire school is focused on the well being of the students and they focus on the whole child, not just test scores. They engage the children in hands-on, project-based learning that invigorates their imaginations and nurtures their curiosity and
Posted by a parent on 12/18/2019the staff and the principal are very caring.
Posted by a parent on 4/8/2019We have been very happy with Sycamore. The academic standards are high, the teachers are easy to communicate with, the school encourages creativity and critical thinking. When my child was experiencing difficulties with math, I e-mailed the teacher and worked with her over the next few weeks on the
Posted by a parent on 5/25/2014this school puts different age groups in one class which is a good initiative unless the teachers are properly trained. Best way ofcourse would be with a Montessori credential. This is not the case at Sycamore there for it lacks the benefit this multiple age mix could create.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI'm a student currently, the school is pretty cool and helps with mental health if needed. Teachers are kind and seem like they genuinely enjoy teaching.The food for lunch is pretty good, the soup could use some work but its still good, there are various events like field day, grandparents day, and spirit week.They also help with learning disabilities like dyslexia,not too much to complain about besides the soup...Anyway, the school is pretty cool !

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a horrible school. They do not use classroom time efficiently, and the majority of teaching gets done at home via homework. There is a highly toxic culture among the parents that flows down to the children. The classrooms are full of children with untreated neurodivergence and spoiled kids who behave horribly with no consequences from the teachers, administration, or parents. Your child will learn in class how to be a Class A goof-off.Bullying is a problem as well and the Principal is uninterested in addressing the issue. Quid pro quo is happening in her office, so the toxic parents get what the want once they figure our how much it's going to cost. Fundraising is a high priority and most of the funds raised are used to plan social events for the parents who are living vicariously through their children and to offset low enrollment; the funds do not flow to the classroom.If educating your children well and raising up responsible, kind, productive members of society is your goal, find a different school.Parent Review1y ago - International Montessori Preschool

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageTerrible place! No age appropriate curriculum implemented. Children sit during transitioning, children do are not stimulated while waiting. Children watch TV for long periods of time rather than doing activities. Activities are not child initiated and do not explore. They get printed handouts.Other Review4y ago
