Darien High School

I have a son who is mildly on the spectrum. The team has helped him progress tremendously. They know my son equally as well as we the parents do. Their knowledge and enthusiasm for their work are terrific. Frequent meeting and detailed reporting has helped gauge his progress. Kudos to Jacalyn's team.

Amazing community of supportive teachers, parents and administrators.

I cannot say enough great things about Holmes Elementary School. Both my kids have been through this school (one boy and one girl) and both have had equally excellent experiences. The principal and vice principal are engaged, proactive, and responsive. The student body are kind, caring, and supportive of their classmates. The staff and teachers are excellent and are a testament to the excellent school district that Darien, CT has invested in.I cannot imagine them having gone anywhere else and am so thrilled with their preparation for middle school.

As a former student, the education here was good at CAS but the teachers there have favorite students. If one student does something bad they get in trouble but the favorite student does not. The bullying here is outrageous. They will bully you a lot. If your friend is sad or crying you cannot comfort them or else the teacher will loudly scream at you for doing it. The plantation near the playing area is dangerous there are many dangerous plants like poison ivy. The playground is unsafe since they make you play on an old parking lot. There are many dangerous cracks which is immensely angering since children play here. There are outdoor classrooms that they make you use during some tests. It is very bad since you can bugs crawling up your leg during a test which makes it tremendously hard to focus. The "prizes" that you get on your birthday are just dollar store items like little stickers that say CAS on it. This school massively disappointed me
