S. D. Spady Elementary School

This school's "A rating" is fake for starters, they inflated the grades and GPAs of the students and put them in programs for bring their ratings up. Not only that the principal refused to address multiple concerns I've had , she ignores emails or send one response basically saying "I'll look into it and get back to you" and never does. Concerns from safety to a teacher bullying my child and her office employees ignoring my emails of me requesting documents that I have the rights to, in the first year my child started this school she got injured and I never even at least received an incident report or the truth of what happened.

I attended this school in the year from 2004-2007 and I loved the teachers and staff and they way they taught the students, andwent over and beyond when it came to well being and teaching of the students. Now that I am currently a working as a school staff here in this same school many many years later, I can see that nothing has changed. The teachers are still passionate and the students are still willing to learn.

Village: The Few. The Proud. The Academy. GO TIGERS!! This school is absolutely great. The teachers are also great at what they do.

This school gave my daughter an excellent head start for her primary education, reading was one of the greatest tool the school gifted my daughter an excellent. This was thirty-five years ago. She is a professor tat the University of Alabama Birmingham.

My son love this school thank you so muCH

My daughter has been a student at Trinity since she was in pre-K and will be entering 2nd in the fall. I have had nothing but positive experiences with the teachers and community at this school. My daughter had been at home with me since birth before entering preK and it was definitely a learning curve for her. Her teachers worked with her closely to "close the gap" so to speak and even suggested some out-of-school activities to help. By the end of the year, she was ready to enter K and she has absolutely flourished in K and 1st grade. She loves reading, takes pride in her school activities and academics and has a great group of friends. She is always so happy every time we drive past the school ("Look! There's my school!") and that says everything to me.

Unity School is a special place. The love and care poured into the children at every stage is something we will never take for granted- it’s been one of the best investments we’ve made. Academics are rigorous but still personalized, and the school preserves what matters most: kids being kids. We’re so grateful for the on-staff school counselor, fine arts, PE, recess/outdoor time, and forward-thinking programs like robotics and meaningful use of technology. Through Lessons in Living, my kids have led us at home in HeartMath meditations and have learned about spiritual traditions from many faiths in a respectful way. Safety is taken seriously, with strong systems in place and armed security on campus with NYPD/military background, and an emergency alert camera system connected directly to the local police department (which is literally across the street). I truly cannot share enough how grateful we are for this school.
