Richard J. Duncan Elementary

At Beck, I've encountered some wonderful teachers who are dedicated to their students' learning and well-being. However, my interaction with the principal Mrs. Wilson left me disappointed. I approached the her with a concern, but unfortunately, my issue was dismissed without proper consideration. I hope that the she can work on improving communication and addressing concerns more effectively in the future.

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.

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

St. Peter Lutheran School has been a wonderful place for our family. The academic programs are strong, the teachers are dedicated, and it is clear they truly care about helping each student succeed. The facilities are welcoming and create a positive environment where students can grow both academically and in their faith.I also appreciate the opportunities students have to participate in music, art, sports, and other activities that help them discover their interests and build confidence. The school values developing well-rounded students. I have also been impressed by the academic growth I have seen in my own child, as well as the recognition students receive for their hard work both in the classroom and in athletics. St. Peter is truly a special place with teachers and staff who are deeply invested in their students.
