Washington Elementary School

Clapham offers students a chance to learn in a warm environment where they are not over-stimulated or overlooked. We have three children at Clapham and have been so pleased with our experience and all the ways our children have grown! Clapham has equipped our kids with confidence providing a place where they each feel loved and seen at school, while also providing consistent and clear expectations. Students rise to the levels of their environment and expectation–and we have been so grateful for the attention and care, a true partnership between the parents and school! Clapham has exceeded all our expectations—we highly recommend it.

My daughter spent multiple years here and our family has loved the experience. We will be signing up my youngest once he is of age to join but in the meantime I have referred several friends to DMS and will continue to do so. The lead teachers onsite have all been there for years a and truly care about each child. The school size is smaller meaning you get to know a lot of the folks attending and teaching even if they arent in your classroom. Safe, warm and welcoming environment! Highly recommend!

I believe St Petronille has God and the well-being of the children far from their minds. Their classrooms have 30+ students, the teachers are overwhelmed, and the principal and assistant principal lack compassion and do not take accountability for their own mistakes. It seems their focus is on raiding money and cramming as many children as possible into each classroom. Values, kindness, warmth, honesty, and an environment that fosters community and Faith have been lost.

Do not send your kid here if they are not Neurotypical they will simply kick you out with Little to no notice leaving you scrambling to find a school.
