Prescott Elementary School

We have had children at Drummond for the past 15 years and have had most of the teachers in the school. Every one of the teachers and Principal Kittle have been amazing to every student that I have ever seen them interact with. The parent community here is very involved and if you’re willing to get involved yourself, I think you will find Drummond to be incredibly supportive. I would recommend this school to anyone.

I've got two students at Tubman (rising 3rd grader, rising 1st grader), and have been at the school since my oldest was in kindergarten. I have been so impressed with the quality of instruction, the community engagement, and the parent support. Test scores never tell the full story of a school - but I can also say that academically, my children are advancing very well each year, and are incredibly supported in doing so by their teachers. I also know that the whole the school saw incredible growth in our 2025 scores (some of which won't be published until fall 2025). On top of that, the school is wall to wall IB, and as such has a strong focus on social and emotional learning. I can see the growth in my kids emotionally and socially (equally if not more important to being a successful & well rounded adult who positively impacts the world). Tubman also has a fine arts focus - which means 2-3 times per year, I get to see my kids on stage, performing a dance or a skit - even if they choose not to participate in the school musical. The whole student body is so supportive of these performances, and the confidence building I've seen not just in my kids but in their classmates is really stark. The principal and admin staff work incredibly well with the teachers, and the parent community is engaged - with everyone working to support students in the best ways we can, and there is a strong bias across the board of collaboration and continued improvement. I had never heard of Tubman before I started investigating kindergarten options a few years ago - but I'm so glad to have landed here. It's a gem!

We pulled our son out of a private school after bullying went unchecked and we placed him in Hamilton. It was the best decision we ever made. Not only is he excelling academically and socially but also emotionally. The school teaches (preventative) conflict resolution using proven coping tools like deep breathing and reflection forms. In fact, my 11-year old son now encourages me to use deep breathing:)

Jahn has been fantastic! The teachers have been universally great, and both of my kids are thriving academically. An underrated gem of a neighborhood school.

My years here have been good very good there are not problems at Pulaski there is so much to learn and the classes are very talented and I would recommend going to this school

We have had a positive experience during our first year at Alphonsus with our preschooler. He has grown so much in literacy and independence. I am comforted by the attention to detail with safety measures that the administration, teachers, and staff have in place. Our son loves to learn and has been exposed to hands-on, creative ways to learn during his first year in preschool.
