Chappell Elementary School

"Budlong School has been a truly wonderful place for my child. As a parent of a child with disabilities, finding a supportive environment is incredibly important, and this school has exceeded my expectations. The nurses and staff are absolutelv amazing--kind patient, and always willing to help They treat my child with so much care and respect, and they communicate openly with me about everything. The atmosphere at Budlong is warm and welcoming, and I'm grateful every day that my child is surrounded by people who genuinely care."

I am a student a McPherson so I will be writing from a student standpoint. In my year of going to McPherson I have went through countless teacher some but not most of them Made excited to learn. But I will say the family engagement is amazing the family are very involved and participants in many fundraisers. Special education at McPherson I can not talk about really because I am not in special education classes but from my point of view the treatment of the students in special education is decent as I said before I can not really can not talk about.

Waters has an excellent philosophy on the whole child, which was important to our family. I felt compelled to write a review based on what most of us parents experience and defend, a great local community school with high standards and an ability to constantly collaborate with stake holders. Thank you, Waters, for being what you are to our family.

Rigid, unsupportive application of the Montessori philosophy. Ill equipped administrative team and overstretched teachers. School is constantly asking for money. Lovely parent community but the school is a mess. Our kid hated it and begged to leave.

Queen of Angels was a wonderful choice for our son's elementary education. We sent our son to Q of A for Kindergarten and couldn't be happier with the decision. Each of his teachers has been supportive, communicative, encouraging, and thoughtful in their approach to the students' education and our son has grown more than we could have expected. The entire staff at Q of A has been incredibly welcoming, warm, and supportive. The infectious kindness of the staff can be reflected in how sweet and kind the students act toward each other. Q of A offers an incredible environment for kids. The after-school enrichment programs are also top-notch and far-reaching; the kids will never lack for choice of activities. The families are involved and welcoming. Q of A definitely feels like a big family that is always open to new members. The administration is very open and communicative and we have never been concerned for our son's safety as Q of A. Queen of Angels was the best kindergarten decision for our son's educational and emotional growth. We are thrilled with what Q of A has been able to offer our son. We would recommend Queen of Angels to anyone looking for a warm and friendly place for their child and family to grown and learn.

St. Philip Lutheran School did not meet our expectations. The overstatements on the website are misleading. Some of the teachers are unlicensed, the curriculum isn't academically rigorous and there are very limited enrichment opportunities. Not all of the teachers treat the students with kindness and respect. Mandatory fundraising fees and additional school fees are added to the tuition cost. Overall, the school does not provide good value for the cost. There are many private schools that offer qualified teachers, rigorous academics, and a truly supportive learning. environment.
