As a member of the Unquowa community, one of the things that has impressed me most is how well the school balances academic challenge with a genuine commitment to each child's growth and well-being. Students are known as individuals, encouraged to take intellectual risks, and supported by teachers w
Posted by a community member on 6/23/2026As a parent, I haven't experienced another school quite like Unquowa. The teachers do an incredible job of celebrating what makes each child unique while also making sure they are challenged and don't avoid the hard work that helps them grow.My child feels known, supported, and encouraged here every
Posted by a parent on 6/3/2026While Unquowa has some positive elements, there are some questionable practices that perhaps align with the the current "everybody gets a trophy" culture. For example, students who are unable to complete a test during the class period are given several hours of additional time and end up with perfec
Posted by a parent on 5/26/2026We have two daughters at Unquowa, one in kindergarten and one in first grade, and after exploring many options (including our well-rated public school, several independent schools, such as Green Farms, Foote, Fraser Woods, and others) we found the ideal balance of academic rigor and socialemotional
Posted by a parent on 1/11/2026Our family has had an absolutely wonderful experience at The Unquowa School.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was a former student at this school, and there’s is one thing I can say about it. They never treat the sped kids equally. I have gotten emotional and verbal trauma from the students and teachers within the school. This is coming from a former student who attended this school and is on the autism spectrum, they never written any incidents that happened inside the school whenever I told my mom. It wasn’t until I went to another school that my mom found out in a PPT that they never logged in what has happened in the past with the paraprofessionals and teachers. I give this school a 0/5, please don’t send your students there if you want them to have mental health issues later on in life.Other Review1y ago - Classical Studies Academy

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageDo NOT accept a lottery acceptance from this school. Only the teachers in this school really care for the students, the counselor even picks favorites, usually with the female students. The P.E. teacher only cares for participation and does not care if you physically cannot participate, or even for medical reasons. The teachers there is a lottery in itself, you could get an amazing teacher who really wants the kid to flourish, or one who doesn't care for your student whatsoever.Other Review2y ago - Stratfield School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageFirst year at this school. There is a new principal, after the long-term principal went to another school. Enrollment is very high due to the Coronavirus and the fact that the diocese never closed down the schools. This school is a great neighborhood school with teachers who care. I was very surprised at the amount of clubs and sports teams the school has. The students are taught catholic values and i'm so happy that my daughter is being taught about our great country and our heroes when so many public schools seem to be at war with the police and patriotism overall.Parent Review4y ago - Holy Family School
