Walt Whitman Elementary School

My son loves this school! The teachers are very attentive and cater to his needs. I also love that the teachers always give me great advice on how I could improve his learning at home. I love that there is large Hispanic influence considering that being bilingual is a gift. It's a shame that they gave this school such a low rating because it truly is misleading.

Very good school, my daughter has enjoyed it very much. Wonderful experience.

I genuinely don’t know how to put into a Google review what AGBM has meant to our family over the last four years.My daughter started here at just 3 months old, and four years and another baby later, I can honestly say that choosing AGBM was one of the best decisions we have made for our kids.There is just something different about this place. Every teacher we have had has been warm, loving, patient, and genuinely invested in our kids. Even after my children moved into new classrooms, their former teachers continued to know them, love them, and be part of their lives. It really does feel like the entire school knows and cares about your child.And it goes so far beyond just the classroom teachers. The teachers, assistants, office staff—truly everyone at AGBM—make you feel like family. They know your kids, they know you, and they genuinely care about your whole family. There is such a warmth to this school that is really hard to put into words until you’ve experienced it. Walking through the doors has always felt like walking into a place where my kids are known and loved, and where we as parents are welcomed and cared about too.Another thing that was incredibly important to us is that AGBM is truly a Montessori school. They are accredited and genuinely follow the Montessori philosophy and method rather than simply using the Montessori name. The classrooms, teachers, materials, and the way the children are encouraged to learn and become independent all reflect that. Watching both of our kids grow in that environment has made us believe in Montessori education even more than we did when we started.I could write paragraphs about the education, the activities, the communication, and everything else AGBM does so well. But ultimately, the thing that matters most to me is much simpler: for four years, I have dropped my babies off every morning and never once had to wonder whether they were safe, happy, or loved.That is priceless.AGBM has been such an important part of our family, and we will be forever grateful for the role they have played in our kids’ lives. They absolutely have a forever parent in their corner.If you are considering AGBM for your child, I truly cannot recommend this school enough.

They did go through some changes in the past 2 years or so. This is probably due to the economy climate. I think they lost many students for their parents losing their jobs. Now they seem all set and settled with new set of teachers and staffs along with some old faces. My daughter loves it there very much. My older daughter loved it there, too.
