The teachers at this school are fantastic! My kids love the environment and are so happy here.

Posted by a parent on 12/15/2023

I thought this was a great school, then I found out very differently. They come off as helpful and understanding on the outside but none of it has turned out to be genuine. If you are well off, have a normal and stable life all around it may be a good school. However if you are struggling and trying

Giant City School is one of the worst schools you could send your child to. It is extremely lacking in diversity, and since it's such a small school, whenever one student is bullied, it turns the entire school against them. Not only is homophobia and racism extremely strong within this school, but n

Carbondale New School has been a wonderful place for our son to learn and grow. For almost four years (Pre-K through 2nd grade) we have entrusted him to CNS, and we have no regrets. With small class sizes, focus on outdoor play, and teachers and staff that embrace a love and logic teaching style, our son has blossomed. He loves learning and has grown tremendously in his spelling, reading, and writing skills. We truly appreciate all the care they take in filling his days with learning, fun, and love. He enjoys going to school! That is proof enough for us :)
