As a parent of a current student that goes here, please do not send your kids here. The principal is so rude and doesn't listen to the kids, often telling them to shut up. It is so disrespectful and unfair to the children at this school. Children get suspended for false accusations all the time and
Posted by a parent on 4/11/2026I am a former student of this school - I would absolutely not recommend this school to any parent looking for an "alternative method" to public schools unless your child is in the 5-10 age group. As soon as you are transferred to the middle school, teachers start to treat you differently. Students a
Posted by a community member on 4/2/2026A Caucasian special needs boy called my daughter stupid twice, to which she responded and she was written up for bullying/harassment. He called another black child the N-word and the boy he called the N-word report it to the teacher and he was disciplined for repeating the word and the white boy got

Posted by a student on 5/28/2025My child has been here for 5 years and we love this school. The Montessori method of teaching has been a blessing for our child and most of the staff are clearly passionate about their students and seeing them succeed. While there have been some bumps in the road (as all schools have) a new principa

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWES is an amazing school! The kids are able to make friends easily. The principal, Ms. McKeever, is kind, effective, and sets the positive tone for the school that every child deserves. The teachers care and go above and beyond the call of duty. I have been so impressed with everything about this school, and I wish we could stay forever!Parent Review1y ago - Whittier Elementary School

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHorrifying. Kids with severe learning disabilities not separated from other students, thus constantly disrupting the class and not affording those students the teaching they need. A counselor in a classroom, students distracting with profanity outbursts and running out of classrooms yelling "I want to go home" This is just the first three months of school. Also, my child has had homework twice this year. Twice. I verified and there is no homework, and when it is given ( 2 times) it is ridiculous how low a bar this school sets for its children. It is impossible to learn with children with disabilities constantly distracting the class. Bringing a counselor in the classroom only creates more distraction. I took my child here because we HAD to. But i am looking in to moving just to get another school, this has been an absolutely heart breaking experience. DO NOT SEND YOUR KID TO THIS SCHOOL if you value their education.Parent Review4y ago - Monocacy Elementary School

7/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWe’ve been incredibly impressed with this school since moving to the neighborhood. The staff is attentive, communicative, and truly invested in each child's growth. The principal sets a strong tone for academic excellence while still creating a warm, welcoming environment. The teachers go above and beyond, and the small class sizes mean students get real attention.What stands out most is the sense of community — it’s the kind of school where parents know each other, teachers know the kids by name (even outside their grade), and the PTA is very active. There’s also a strong emphasis on reading, STEM, and character-building — not to mention the school grounds are always clean and well-maintained.We've seen noticeable improvement in the school's overall performance year after year. It’s definitely one of the top reasons young families are moving into the area.Parent Review9mo ago - St. John Regional Catholic School
