Reading Memorial High School

I know that people love this school. I want to love it too... I just have been very underwhelmed by the whole experience. I feel isolated as a parent and as though my prospective isn't valued. I don't feel like I'm entitled to much information about my child's education. I am generally a pleasant person who is able to engage others, but every time I make some effort to connect, I just feel shut out. This makes it hard for me to participate in my child's education or understand what her day looks like, or support her. She frequently states that she doesn't want to go to school, which is very different than last year at another school.

E.Ethel Little School is a hidden gem! It may be small, but it's packed with heart. The teachers are not only amazing but also highly engaging, making learning a true pleasure for the kids. The school principal shows exceptional care for every student, creating a nurturing environment. The sense of community here is strong, and the active PTO program adds an extra layer of support and involvement. This school is a testament to how a tight-knit community can make a big impact on a child's education

We moved our three elementary aged children to St Joes for the September 2020 school year. We were not happy with what we were seeing with COVID protocols and the push to keep kids virtual from our public school. Our son, who was in K when COVID happened, was already struggling with reading. We were unsure if we were making the right choice, but within the first few weeks I knew we did and questioned why we hadn’t made the move sooner. The teachers are incredible. Our son was getting caught up and reading on his own! Our two daughters were both thriving and loving school, their teachers and peers. I’m impressed by the curriculum and was shocked what they were missing from their time in public school. This was definitely our families COVID silver lining.
