West Maple Elementary School

I want to put in a good word for an aide who works there. Her name is Aleka and it's very clear she has a love for what she's doing - helping and encouraging young children. It's truly a delight to see her in action!

After leaving a reputable private school and realizing how far my child was behind, Lone Pine pulled together and got my child caught up and now she is thriving!

We love Doherty! It’s such a tight nit family community where your children will always feel loved and supported. I am so sad that my kids have transitioned out and onto upper elementary but after spending the last 7 years there with all 3 of my children we will always hold wonderful memories of our time there. The teachers are outstanding and the administrators are so helpful and wonderful! It is a great school and we were so happy to be a part of it for many years!

Our 6 year old twin daughters have attended Redhill Montessori for over 5 years. We are extremely pleased with the challenging curriculum at the school and the exceptional results that we have witnessed. The diverse student population, personalized instruction based on each child’s individual skill set (twin daughters are in the same grade but different homework due to tailored progression) and small teacher/ student ratio are just a few factors that we greatly appreciate about this school. Our 6 year old daughters are reading at a 3rd grade level and currently learning multiplication which is truly impressive! Overall, we highly recommend Redhill Montessori to any parent who values education that will yield a strong academic foundation and will be provided in a nurturing environment!

This school is a pretty good school the teachers are kind and each of them has a unique way of teaching. The school is well organized and has tons of events for students to enjoy. There is also a Umatter week to support our students the counselor has made a big difference to this school and hopefully, the school will grow. The students there are kind of just a small issue with bullying. Overall this is a great school definitely recommend

I spent my early schooling years here, and I cannot discourage it enough. Growing up as a child with an attention deficit disorder, I felt that my needs as a student were completely ignored. At Hillel Day, there are absolutely no guidelines put in place to facilitate the education of students with learning disabilities. Lessons were catered to students who didn't suffer from such difficulties, and students like me were forced to fall by the wayside. My mother recalls a time when she requested I be given an IEP (Individualized Education Program) so that I can receive more help during class time. However, she was denied, as Hillel Day apparently "doesn't do that" (which from a legal perspective is fairly concerning, I might add). At the age of 13, I did not know my multiplication tables, as math was a difficult subject for me -- and the math teachers here simply chose to ignore me and focus on the students who had a better grasp on the topics.I also felt that, coming from a poorer economic standing, I was treated differently than my peers -- many of which came from rich, affluent Jewish families. Many of my friends at the time, due to the school's more casual classroom environment, would be considered "class clowns" -- yet none of them would be punished / penalized in the same way I was -- no doubt due to their status, as well as how much their families probably donated to the school. I felt that I was the frequent target of punishment / harassment from a select few teachers due to my learning challenges, as well as my family's economic standing. Over the years, I've simply come to the conclusion that they didn't care -- and if you have a child who suffers from learning challenges, stay far away from Hillel Day.
