Green Central Park Elementary School

Stay clear from this school!!!!! The best way to picture the dynamics is to compare it to the scene in Mean Girls when the school turns into a jungle. This school is poorly ran, the current principal and higher up staff are a joke for lack of better word. There are fights every single day, horrible behavioral problems with the students and little to no action from staff. My child has had so many issues in this school and the staff is non-responsive until you're pretty much cussing them out. This school is a mess! Unless you have absolutely no other options do not send you child here!

wouldnt wish my worst enemy to go to this school theres like 8 good teachers the teachers use there authority to scare the kids

It used to be a great school and the teachers reflected that. After the CDD and change in admin the school stopped caring about families and kids real needs. Since 2020 the staff that have left continue to reflect the administrations lack of love for the kids and families they are meant to support

My kid has been going to Whittier for a few years, and our experience has been very positive. Whittier has great teachers and staff, provides many opportunities for student learning (including after school programs, music lessons, and summer camp), and has many family events. We have had a great experience sending my kid here. We are very happy with their education and what they've learned. My only issues were that MPS Kids no longer offers after school care here, but that is mainly substituted by the after school programs and the community center for older kids. The community center connected to the school is great and offers many great activities for kids in the neighborhood (things like art projects, drones, skateboarding, ice skating, archery, etc.) If you're worried about Whittier having a bad rating, I'd encourage you to visit the school and get to know the staff. We're very happy we selected Whittier, especially being it's out community school and we've enjoyed getting to know the other families that live in our area.

Our son has been at Lake Country School for the past 2.5 years, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with his experience. He has grown in remarkable ways—building deep friendships, gaining invaluable life skills, and developing a genuine love of learning. The educators and support staff at LCS have been extraordinary, nurturing his growth with care and intention at every step.Beyond the classroom, we’ve discovered a truly special community through family events, both in the city and at the breathtaking Land School. The Land School itself is an incredible gift—offering students hands-on opportunities to work on a farm, connect with the origins of their food, and experience the rhythms of rural life. It’s an inspiring extension of the LCS philosophy and one of the many reasons we feel so grateful to be part of this community.

My kids have been going to this school since my oldest was in 1st grade. The teachers are excellent and the students all love each other. The parents, students, and teachers at Pilgrim are like family. Finding Pilgrim was the best thing that could have happened to my family.
