The Phoenix Montessori School

If you like a school with double standards, this is the school to send your child. How can a child who has touched other kids in an inappropriate manner or threatening manner still able to attend classes baffles me. The school is going doing hill each year. So, glad my kids will be out of Pleasant Ridge. Bullying rules depend on the color of the skin and how much money the family puts into the school. No equal treatment. One kids might be suspended. While the other child is not. This has been going on for years. You contact the board of education and still nothing is done.

My child has experienced racism, bullying, and retaliation from the principal and teachers at Brookridge. I have concerns regarding the principal's professionalism. My child reported new teachers yelling at students and physical misconduct towards students. It appears that if a parent expresses disagreement with the principal, she may inform her staff, leading to retaliation against the parent and child. Minority children seem to receive disparate treatment from the principal and staff. Although the school boasts diversity, the staff lacks representation of diversity. Lacks the educational support for students. These allegations warrant investigation and change.

Pawnee is where I made all of my great memories. Its a fun environmental school and I really recommend it, Im in 8th grade and I really wish I could go back in time to experience it all over again. Ever since I got there in 3rd grade, everyone was welcoming and I made a lot of friends. We did fun things with and for our teachers. Overall it was amazing and I could never think badly about it. Ill forever be a pawnee kid, and Ill be proud of it.

Wonderful school and amazing teachers that care.

This school is great when it comes to the teaching aspect. If you have a child in the SPED program then I do not recommend this school whatsoever!! I am a parent with a disability and I ended up getting pushed out of the decision-making process with both of my kids IEP meetings and evaluations. I was not allowed to attend in person meetings unless security was present or they had to be WebEx. I had a disability response that was non threatening, but the administration decided to frame it as threatening even though I had documentation proving that nobody felt threatened. I ended up pulling my kids from the district and putting them into a new district simply because I couldn't handle the stress of what the district was putting my family through.
