Posted by a parent on 3/13/2026My two kids attended De Vargas for about two years. My older kid had Ms. Simpson, Ms. Connors and Mr. Tatman, who were all competent and caring teachers. So he had a normal elementary school experience. But my younger son was not so lucky because of his 2nd grade teacher. Shortly after the kid trans

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is an excellent school. It teaches a multitude of subjects at a more advanced and complex level. For example, we learn diagramming, which is not usually found in other schools. It also uses textbooks found in middle and high school. I am a fifth grader at the school, and I enjoy the classes I take here. The teachers here also focus on helping those who are struggling, as can be seen in my class. My teachers in fourth and fifth grade also have great educational experiences. They also answer the classes questions with good answers. The only problem I find is that the math curriculum is very easy compared to other subjects. I would recommend this school to anyone who enjoys learning.Student Review1y ago - Trust Montessori School
