Read what parents are saying about Key Elementary SchoolWe have two children at Key and have had a very positive experience. The academics are good, but could be more rigorous. Overall, it is a wonderful neighborhood school with a welcoming community.
Posted by a parent on 10/26/2021The teachers are committed and enthusiastic. It's been great for my kids and I've enjoyed the community of parents and teachers at the school.
Posted by a parent on 7/19/2021We left this school owing to all the above factors. It really lends itself to a pseudo upper class fraternity crowed.
Posted by a parent on 4/9/2019Just awful. The parents here are vicious and will do anything to advance their child over others. Helicopterism and competitiveness abound. Very little community spirit here in the Land of NIMBY. Spoiled child and adult bullies abound. We are so thankful to have gotten away from this miserable place.
Posted by a community member on 5/22/2015Key balances the tests with the independent creative learning and style of each teacher. There is nothing typical or cookie cutter about this school or their teachers. Key is a gem of a school on a little hill. I wish it went on through middle and high school.

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son was bullied at this school at the begging of third grade. His teacher was a first year teacher who didn’t have social skill, also had no control over her class and vice principal asked that my son remain in an unsafe environment with daily physical and verbal bullying. I moved my child to a different school and he is now thriving again. I will say while he was at Taylor for 2nd grade his teacher was wonderful and my son loved Taylor. 3rd grade principal changes and teacher changed and we experience nothing but issues from August - November of 2022.Parent Review1y ago - The River School

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOur kids have greatly benefitted from their OLV education. The school spotted some difficulties one of our children was having with reading that had been dismissed in public school. We are happy that someone noticed it early, and we could get him the help he needed. We have been happy with the communication with his teachers on his progress and know he won't slip through the cracks in such a small class. Our other child would probably perform well academically anywhere, but she has really thrived at OLV. A small school and class size has encouraged her to break out of her shell. We also were pleased to find a real community at the school and have gotten to know our kids' classmates, their parents and the teachers and staff. The Catholic teachings focus on God loving you and you loving your neighbor, and we like the foundation it provides for going out into the world. It is a welcoming, liberal Catholic community.Other Review10mo ago - Beauvoir - The National Cathedral Elementary School
