Ellen Meade School of Creative Learning

My son has been failing and doesn’t event get homework so he can be helped. Teacher dose not communicate. We can’t sit in class to know what is even being tough while the teacher states he’s doing good but failing on his report card.

The staff at Daughtrey have a compassion for the students and safety is number one priority!!!

Removed my children. Be aware! The principal does not have the best interest of the children!

Para mí ha sido una experiencia muy bonita con esta escuela muy buenos maestros, preocupados y muy buena dirección

We love Center Montessori. Our two children have attended this school since age 2. I, myself, is an alum of the school and love the hands on Montessori approach to learning. Center Montessori fosters my children’s independence and nurtures their growth academically and socially. We have also benefitted from the free and paid seminars about parenting, which has helped in our household immensely! We cannot sing enough praise for the school, we feel so lucky to have them help raise and educate our children.

The best part of this school is that its not public education. The curriculum is good and the school has an excellent music program for a small school. However, most teachers are under educated and not qualified to work with students. Discipline is not supported by the administration and teachers often do not have he tools to control their classrooms. Unfortunately bullying is a major issue at this school. Especially for new students that have not grown up in the church or part of the in crowd. The administration is very poor at communicating and are very closed when it comes to meeting with parents and addressing any concerns. Basically, not approachable. The previous administration, from several years ago, was excellent. Recent changes in the last several years has brought a lower education standard and negative environment for students and parents. The school will put on a nice show when its time for evaluation, then change their posture once the evaluation is over. Fir example, having teachers out front to provide safety when kids are dropped off in the mornings. This is only consistently done when evaluation are taking place. My students have all been bullied or injured as a result of lack of transparency and poor training of staff.

WCCA has a polite staff, but my child has been struggling at this school since they first started and their teacher that teaches 2nd-4th grade doesn’t spend too much time helping and assisting my kid in reading math and science. The teacher has little time to spend with each student. She only spends about maybe 5 to 10 minutes with each grade level. The class has about maybe 17 kids maybe less since she teaches 3 grade levels she has like 4 students in each grade but quickly goes over the subjects & shows them once or twice if they get it they get if they don’t oh well, she has to move onto the next group. My kid always tells me that the teacher says she DOESN’T have time basically if your child is not a straight A student, She doesn’t wanna waste her time on your kid if your kid is not getting it oh well. They have a teacher aid and I believe other help in reading or disability aid and they can barely help either. Sometimes they’re not there because they’re taking time off. If you’re going to put your kid in this school, your kid has to be super smart because if your kid is not super smart, she doesn’t wanna deal with your child. She will just send your child with assignments, pages and pages of worksheets books and expect the parents to help the children. More teachers are needed at the school. That’s the biggest problem. I don’t know if they’re underpaid or what but if you’re not smart at math or reading or science as a parent, you might as well just put your kids in a public school because they have more supporting staff, your kids will probably learn a lot more and get it there and they seem like they don’t worry about the students. They’re NOT going to waste their time on trying to teach your kid how to learn math reading and science if your kid’s struggling and the teacher only worries about HER own kids & their academics. She wants to make sure HER kids get straight A’s & get Honor Roll etc. But when you send your kids to this school with a scholarship to help pay for tuition all that money that goes to the school makes you wonder where is the education for the kids on helping them with their academics? WCCA is always trying to raise money for field trips and school events and repairs for the school. It makes you wonder what do they do with the money that your kids are getting funded for? Very disappointing for us. Other families are struggling with their kids as well my child has been mentioned this by the other students. Also no Google reviews???
