Posted by a parent on 6/28/2026I would like to see increased parent involvement in the PTA and greater participation in school activities. Building stronger partnerships between families and the school helps create a more supportive learning environment for our students.
Posted by a teacher on 6/27/2026This school is great. I am a 5th grade student and so far it has been great. I have amazing teachers. I am in the gifted program and I love this place. If you are a student that is not in this school I recommend going and if you're a parent I think you should send your child. Either way,

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have to mention one teacher has stood out in one of my daugthers academic experience. Mrs. Fleites - her first grade teacher. This teacher pushed my daughter out of shyness and has given her a love for school.. This wonderful teacher has motivated her to go above and beyond. We definitely recommend this school. My daughter is now going to 4th grade and still misses this school. We moved and had to transfer to another school.Parent Review9y ago - Fairlawn Elementary School

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI am grateful for the education that my kids have received at Fairlawn. Special gratitude to the Gifted teachers, Mendoza and Bermudez. They exemplify what being a great teacher is about. It takes a special teacher to know how to teach brilliant kids and they always go above and beyond to keep gifted kids challenged and on task. Would be wonderful if they offered full time gifted.Parent Review10y ago - Flagami Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI'm not sure why some comments are of angry "only get money" approach. This school has very affordable tuition prices along with Step Up scholarships that help cut tuition costs tremendously. There is a capital campaign to build a new multipurpose center. The school is only making it better for the families. The family environment is wonderful and people feel safe.Parent Review2y ago - St. Philip's Episcopal School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAbsolutely the best place in the world for little ones. I love the philosophy behind Montessori education, and this school is very true to her principles of following the child. My son attended here from 3 months to 12 months, and through a pandemic, where I had to continue work as an essential worker. They have excellent protections in place to keep the staff and kids healthy in these unprecedented times. He absolutely loves school, and cries for it on weekends when we drive past. The teachers are loving and supportive and he adores them all (but especially Miss Maria) as well as the classmates. When we visited the school (pre-pandemic) I was impressed how calm the classrooms were for being full of toddlers, they were all happy, engaged, and independently learning. I also love that we have a fully bilingual baby! We are broken-hearted to leave, as we were hoping to stay in this school through kindergarten, but unfortunately moving out of country. I know we won't be able to find another place like this!Parent Review5y ago
