Morgan Elementary School

This school is amazing!! Mr. Ellis the principal is the glue of this school. He makes the kids so happy and he’s always involved in the school activities. This school has zero tolerance for bullying. The teachers at Beacon Tree are more than average teachers they are above average; so amazing and all really care about our children. If they notice your child need a little more support academically they will offer extra help for your child. If anything happens in class or outside of class the teachers communicate with parents right away. The front office staff are amazing also. Front office staff are always sweet, caring and smiling. Whenever I go In there they know every child’s name and treat them with the most respect and always kind. Kids love going to the office lol. Front office will always communicates with parents right away if there’s an accident or some issue. The best school in Utica hands down.

2 years with a student there. both years our son has been bullied by different kids each year. nothing gets done to protect or help our son but the school does make sure to protect and let the bullies keep being. our sons friends are trying to change schools due to this issue. last year it got to the point our son wouldn’t eat unless it was fruit or water at 7 years old from teasing from one student. this year a new student is pushing/dragging/beating on him and his friends and the only action taken was to change bullies seat to which he was moved back next to our son 2 weeks later.sadly it feels like Switizer is a safe haven for bullies not students

Monfort has exceeded my expectations. New principal and office staff this year. Very organized, very engaging caring staff. Special education teachers are amazing. The school uses apps to stay connected to parents. Lots of new activities this year. All around great experience. We will miss all the teachers and staff.

DONT send your kids to this school the experience my child has had is heart breaking we will never be returning

All and all a terrible school. Do not send your kids here terrible teachers and learning supplies, it is a dirt cheap school and since it is next to cheap apartments a lot of Hispanic kids are coming in every year and there is not enough room for all these kids to get the learning they deserve since they are constantly being put aside for the new kids coming in not knowing how to speak the best English.

Both of our kids have attended Peace Lutheran (2007 to present). Our daughter is now at Lutheran High North and had no problems with the level of education she received at Peace. She is taking college prep courses at North and even serves as a teacher's assistant. The education received by our kids is excellent and teachers have been available for extra study before or after the school day. Older students are also available for tutoring. We are very happy to know that our children's education include a focus on Jesus Christ and Christianity. Chapel is every Wednesday. Peace also offers every student an opportunity to play sports such as basketball, track and field, or soccer. No student gets turned away from sports and it is an excellent experience. Also, parents can participate too whether it is running the scoreboard or assistant coach. There is great comradery among students in all and between grades. The school has regular Family event and nights. My wife and I are very satisfied with the education our kids receive at Peace Lutheran and it has been a great experience for our family. We would recommend Peace Lutheran to any family.
