Our experience differs greatly from the previous reviews. Our child is finishing up 5th grade at Washington and is in the dual language program. They started before COVID and had mostly distance learning for 1st grade. Kindergarten was kind of rough, I think because some families did not have a diag
Posted by a parent on 5/20/2025Disappointing and saddening. This has become sole crushing to have to see my child attend this school daily. I don’t know who it hurts more? Me or my kid?
Posted by a parent on 1/8/2019There was an error in an earilier posting. My grandson passed the third grade without being able to read a clock, does not know all of his multiplications up to 11, and can't count money. It's worse then I thought, he passed the 4th grade.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AveragePrincipal sits in his office and does not help when needed. I have observed that Mr. Corcoran has his favorites in staff and students, it definitely shows. My child was getting bullied at Harriet Gifford and Mr. Corcoran would just sit in his office and do nothing. Comment he said about one of the staff who would call for help was we didn't hire this teacher to use all of our additional staff.Parent Review4y ago - Highland Elementary School

The princicpal is not very understanding and has no compassionate to help students instead, he focuses on the school system and the troublemakers. the way the principal operate the school is extremely poor.Parent Review7y ago - Lowrie Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI have 2 kids currently enrolled at St. Thomas More Catholic School. We have been with them for 6 years now and I could not be more proud and happy. I observed the biggest change in my son’s values esp in praying at second grade but for sure, it all started when he was in preschool. Over time, it developed and blossomed into a special kind of relationship with God at such a young age. Kudos to their amazing and hands-on faculty and staff. We are really thankful for having found STM.Parent Review1y ago - St Joseph School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI had two children graduate from St. John's, and two more children attending. My children that graduated were well ahead of their high school peers, and because of the curriculum at St. John's, I felt my children had better memorization skills and study skills. We have been at St. John's for over 10 years and I have been impressed with the staff, not only do they care about their educational journey, but they have also been there for them on a spiritual and individual level. One of my children wished to go to an academy in U-46, and their teacher was extremely helpful walking them through the process and helping them achieve their goal.Parent Review3y ago - Good Shepherd Lutheran School
