Milton Montessori School

MOE used to be an amazing school. Sadly, leadership changed - morale has declined and staff turnover has increased.

I wish that I could say something positive about this school because the TEACHERS are AMAZING! However, the administration (this includes the Curriculum Support Teacher) are the most unprofessional people I have ever worked with. It is very upsetting because the teachers are amazing, but the admin will talk behind your back. I have attended so many meetings where the CST has talked about other staff members negatively. You may have the AP email you on weekends telling you about "rumors" that involve you. If you are an aspiring teacher, DO NOT WORK HERE! The communication between the teachers and admin is horrible. You will do everything right, however, always be in the wrong. What I've found, is this school ruins great teachers. Mostly due to the micromanaging and unprofessionalism that has plagued this school. I could write an autobiography of everything I have experienced. I will leave it at this; this is the worst place I have ever worked at and if you are an aspiring teacher about to work here, RUN WHILE YOU CAN!

Teachers here are generally great and care about their students. If I was just rating them, they'd get 5 stars. However, the admin team would get negative stars from me, if possible. They have completely mishandled my child's, who has learning differences, education. There is very little empathy for those who need special resources/approaches to learning. There is even less motivation to ensure that those needs are met. It's absolutely shameful that these unique children and their families have to go through what the school makes them go through to get any of the needed resources. Even then, appropriate instruction and accommodations are severely lacking.

We’ve had a very positive experience at Brandywine. The community is diverse and the teachers/staff are amazing. My children truly enjoy going to school here. The classrooms are organized and clean. Also, safety is a priority at this school.
