This is simply not true.My child struggled imme
Posted by a parent on 7/13/2025The teachers are great but the principal is awful. The building is so out of date and the district just passed a referendum but still do not want to give the students actual walls.
Posted by a parent on 11/11/2024Belle Aire is a gem. The administration, staff and teachers have created a supportive environment where my daughter thrives. A Great School indeed.
Posted by a parent on 3/1/2024We have been super happy with all the teachers our children have had so far (oldest is in 3rd grade).

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter had a wonderful experience at PD and missed it greatly when she moved on to middle school. She said it was like a big family and everyone knew everyone else. We particularly enjoyed PD because it is a true neighborhood school.Parent Review2y ago - Whittier Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe preschool teacher is unlicensed and unqualified to be teaching young kids. She is unable to perform her job duties without the help of her “mentor” who I interacted with more than her. If she cannot have a conversation with parents independently she is not ready to be teaching on her own. This is also shown through her inability to care for children.Parent Review3w ago - St Mary Of Gostyn Catholic School
