270 - Hap - Intermediate School

Tanglen is a great neighborhood school with strong leadership, caring teachers and wonderful kids. There is more to a school than test scores, web rankings or district marketing campaigns. Tanglen has small class sizes, engaged teachers and a strong community of parents. Highly recommend checking out Tanglen for your family!

From the moment you enter the building, you know that this place cares for your child. The staff meeting the kids at the doors are always smiling and welcoming the kids. They greet the students by name. The teachers are top notch. Teacher Ming Yang and Pang Yang from the Chinese immersion are excellent. The ancillary teaching staff who help the kids on a daily basis are very friendly. The bus drivers seem to have a frequent turnover but nevertheless efficient. Even the staff at the front desk are very kind. Principal Melissa Ness is very responsive and involved. We had a problem at the beginning of the school year which she helped us take care of and didn't recur ever since. She is very honest, approachable and easy to talk to. I highly recommend Eisenhower Elementary School. My daughter is always excited to go to school. She loves her teachers and classmates. She enjoys learning Chinese and Math. We enjoy volunteering to school events and activities as a family.

Both my kids attend FAM and our family is very happy with the whole experience so far. My daughter is in Maternelle and my son is in the tout petit program. FAM exceeded our expectations and we couldn’t be happier! The school is well established and very well equipped. Our daughter is thriving at FAM both socially and academically and our son is cared for by loving nurturing teachers and staff. The teachers are wonderful, highly educated and attentive. I feel my daughter is getting a high quality, one on one education in a safe and creative environment. She enjoys the after school soccer and piano lessons. The before and after school program is an amazing addition for parents with a busier lifestyle. My daughter understands and speaks french like natives and moreover we are very pleased with the diverse multicultural experience they’re exposed to everyday. Management is organized, involved and communicates well with parents

We love this school but our child had such a horrible experience throughout 2nd grade from Molly Fossen that our child still cries thinking about it. Such a shame for a nice community to have a teacher like this !!!
