Kennedy-Donovan Center School

We love this school! The community is so warm and involved in the school. Great teachers on staff who truly care about the kids. My daughter not only learns math and literacy, but also social and emotional maturity and kindness for others. The test scores do not say everything about a school environment.

This is a fabulous neighborhood school. The staff and teachers are great and the PTA is one of the best! I highly recommend Lindley Elementary School!

The main focus at St. Pius is on the Catholic religion and not academics. If your child is not Catholic they cannot read from the Bible during Mass or participate in communion. My child was behind in math. Most students from St. Pius need to have a math tutor if they go on to attend a public middle school or high school. They are very focuses on handwriting. There are a lot of crafts and preschool like activities that come home in the take-home folders. However, this is not a lot of academic evidence of what is being done in the classroom. There is a lot of hands-on learning and the younger children receive two recesses a day. However, the strict dress code at St. Pius is unbelievable-belts, button shirts for mass, no Comet hoodies, etc. The students are also strongly discouraged from going to the bathroom during Mass (which is usually an hour). The learning support at St. Pius is not adequate. The learning support teachers will place students on an IEP on a computer program for math or reading for fifteen minutes! That is not an effective form of learning intervention. I would not send a child here who has a learning disability such as dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, Autism, etc.

I'm so grateful for B'nai Shalom; a gem in the Greensboro community. My child has grown SO much much in her time at B'nai due to the thoughtfulness, creativity, and nurturing environment she is in each day. Parents and staff partner together beautifully, and I've found teachers always have gone above and beyond to meet a child's needs. I feel grateful for this community, and for the ability to watch my child flourish in it!
