My child had a very hard time learning here with rude teachers and staff and rude students.
Posted by a parent on 9/26/2025The schools education system is broken. Students do not get challenged or given any opportunities to better themselves. They do the bare minimum with everything at this school. The bullying is awful and the school does nothing about it. I would not recommend this school if you want your child to suc
Posted by a parent on 5/23/2024Poor quality education, some non-dedicated staff, my child did not feel safe or welcomed.
Posted by a parent on 9/7/2020Wonderful school where each kid is valued and developed. Teachers strive to create a growth mindset.
Posted by a parent on 1/27/2019If your child is entered into the LEAP program, be skeptical and reconsider. Coming from another LEAP program within the same district, my child was not challenged in the least at Ardmore. He was bored, and not held to the academic standards that he should have been. The communication between teache

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageOverall, the schools are fine, but I’m surprised by how much emphasis is placed on i-Ready. It doesn’t truly measure a student’s abilities or subject knowledge. While I understand that some standardized tests, like the IAR, can serve a purpose, I’d honestly prefer to see those phased out as well.With i-Ready in particular, students spend too much time on computers and end up less engaged. I’ve seen bright students simply click through the lessons because they don’t care, while others become anxious and take it far too seriously. Instead of leaning so heavily on platforms like i-Ready, Salt Creek should focus more on directly engaging with students and giving attention where it’s most needed—especially since the student population is small. Less “homework” on i-Ready and more meaningful interaction would make a real difference.Parent Review8mo ago - St Paul Christian Daycare & Kindergarten

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAn amazing school that feels like family! We couldn't be happier with St. Pius X; this Catholic school provides an exceptional, high-quality education rooted in classical learning, forming student not just academically as as well-rounded individuals. The small, safe environment allows my children, and every child attending, to be truly known - teachers and administrators greet students by name and genuinely care about their growth. If you're looking for an education that nurtures the whole child in a faith-filled, academically excellent setting, look no further! We are truly blessed to have such an amazing school in our neighborhood.Parent Review1y ago - St Alexander School
