PTPS has been a wonderful elementary school for our three children. We value strong academics and a tangible preparation for middle school and hands down this is the place to get that. The reason we chose the school was for the Core Knowledge curriculum and small classes. The school has delivered on
Posted by a parent on 9/26/2017I want to be upfront that PTPS was not my first choice for my child. The school told us they had space for the upcoming school year and had available financial aid. My initial impression was concern since there were only 7 kids in the grade. My daughter did spend a day and she was tested. We returne
Posted by a community member on 9/2/2017Pear tree is not worth $40k. For that money you would expect students to not only learn basics but be given an incredible, innovative education and a springboard to middle school. Do as we did and ask the area private schools what pear tree students are like once they transfer over to the middle sch
Posted by a parent on 8/31/2017My older grandson graduated from Pear Tree Point School last year. When he transitioned to middle school he was placed in Honors classes in math and English based on the entrance exams for the school. I firmly believe that was thanks to the excellent Core Knowledge curriculum at Pear Tree. He attend
Posted by a parent on 8/30/2017We had a very similar experience to the two recent negative reviews. Our expectations were high going into our PTPS experience. We had heard wonderful things about the school from other parents whose children had attended PTPS. Talking to the school administration during the admissions process seeme

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is rapidly going imploding with their horrible response to the COVID virus. Their remote schooling was implemented poorly for 2020-2021 and they actively tried to embarrass and ridicule the remote learners by facing the camera and tv on the other children so that they were on display for the class to see as some strange kid.During the recent BOE meeting for 2021-2022 school year, I was horrified. Every parent that spoke was fiercely against the state's mask mandate and it was clear as day the pressure they were putting on the district's physician to permit a local option that would not require masks.Darien is a horrible city in that it is filled with horrible people that not only support the right-wing fascist movement in the US and wear it with a badge of honor.Ask yourself, would you want your child being taught in a school that rejects science?Parent Review4y ago - Holmes Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI 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.Parent Review3y ago
