Wonderful elementary school that has a balance of education and letting "kids be kids." The TK program is well established and the teachers we had (Mrs Goins) went above and beyond in acclimating the children to school and also communication with the parents. The school is tucked in a residential po
Posted by a parent on 9/22/2026My 3 kids have had the most amazing experience at Arnold. The TK program had just begun and it was extremely well organized with experienced teachers and a well defined curriculum. One of my children had some behavioral issues but the teacher and principal were extremely helpful in having my child w
Posted by a parent on 3/21/2026It seems that a small group of 5th-grade teachers currently hold significant influence over many school decisions. Unfortunately, their approach appears quite traditional and resistant to new ideas or methods that better meet the needs of today’s students. They tend to favor working only with “ideal
Posted by a parent on 10/24/2025The first few years at this school were wonderful under the previous principal, but things have gone downhill since then. The teachers are harsh with the students, and the overall atmosphere feels dominated by yelling, punishment, and constant threats. Instead of encouragement, the most common messa
Posted by a parent on 9/30/2025I have one child currently attending Arnold and another two on the way. The teachers are experienced and have been great to work with as they send out frequent updates on my child's educational progress and schedule meetings with parents. I respect the variety of homework and projects assigned and c

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageIve had three children attend FLS. My first two were fine. But they fired thenprofessional seasoned principal. Then made the inexperienced first grade teacher the principal. She, the current principal and leadership lacks the experience and education to lead the school in its next chapter. This school also lacks instructor diversity. The school is led by all women that previously attended the school and now work there. Their children get a discounted tuition and preferential treatment. Each time a male teacher is hired he only last a semester because the women run them away Currently there are two male teachers. There is only one PE teacher and its female that a friend of the leadership team. Consequently they all live in a bubble and other their children get the resources to be successful. The academic curriculum is declining and outdated because the principal refuses to implement curriculum to meet the technology and AI curriculum. There is only one computer teacher and the students meet once a week. They lack an excellent foreign language, music and arts instructors. I would not recommend this school in you are looking for a quality Christian private schoolOther Review1y ago - St. Lawrence Martyr Elementary School
