Butler School

This school has consistently gotten worst in the past few years. Mrs. Nazzaro the principal really does not care anymore. She just wants to collect her paycheck and do the least amount of work possible. The school has a safety issue as my child had been bullied so much and the school keeps telling me they were accidents. Even the pediatrician is concerned with amount of times we have gone to them due to my child getting hurt at school. There is no discipline for the bullies and my child is constantly told that they are accidents and to apologize to the bullies. My child is now in therapy due to experience at this school.

This elementary school provides an excellent learning environment with dedicated, tenured teachers who bring experience and stability to the classroom. The school’s management is generally effective, fostering a positive and well-organized atmosphere. The facilities are well-maintained and in good condition, creating a comfortable space for students to learn and grow. Additionally, the school boasts a diverse student body, promoting inclusivity and cultural awareness. Most importantly, I always felt that my children were safe here, thanks to the school’s strong emphasis on security and student well-being. Overall, a great choice for families seeking a supportive and high-quality educational experience.

We love Seneca Academy and have for the past 7 years we’ve been there. All of our kids go there and we’ve had a really positive experience. The teachers and staff are genuinely caring, they know the kids, encourage them, and make the classrooms feel calm and personal thanks to the small class sizes. The IB approach here actually works for us: kids are encouraged to think globally and be curious. The school has also added solid programs like Singapore Math and RULER from Yale, which we’ve seen make a practical difference in both academics and socio-emotional learning. The school community itself feels welcoming, friendly families, engaged students, and a culture that leans toward kindness. We also appreciate the leadership change. The new head of school has been listening to families and making clear, sensible improvements; it feels like the administration is more responsive and open to feedback now. If you’re thinking about Seneca, go see it in person and talk to the teachers, that’s what convinced us. Overall, we’re grateful for the supportive environment and optimistic about where the school is headed.

This school has bad teachers. I was getting bullied and the school counselor didn’t do anything about it. Do not send your kids here unless they want want depression and suicidal thoughts 24/7 and tramau
