Clear Springs Elementary School

I have 3 children that all attended Prairie View - The teachers are wonderful - This school has a variety of incomes and cultures and it is great to see a school that has a great mix and great students - could ask for a better school setting for my children- very welcoming -

This school is really great. I always feel come, and my kids love the school.

We sent our kids to St. John's because we supported the Catholic Montessori style. But after nearly a decade of our family being part of this community we had no choice but to pull them midyear.Our children often brought up concerns to staff but were consistently dismissed or ignored with little to no follow through. Over time our kids stopped speaking up, having learned it fell on deaf ears. Discipline was applied inconsistently, with consequences depending on a family's connection to the administration rather than the conduct itself.When our special needs daughter was physically attacked by a younger student, the student was shielded from consequences outlined in the school's own handbook. The moral environment among students was not consistently in line with Catholic teaching and conduct was often not addressed.We were loyal to this school through a lot and tried out best to make things work. Sadly, it just continued to get worse.

We searched high and low for a small school environment that fit our 6th grade son's indiviual needs (ADHD & Giftedness). We found all that and much, much more at Deephaven Academy! The entire team is more than willing to partner with parents to help their child succeed. They understand the learning styles and needs for each student are different and they are willing to help accomodate those needs. Most importantly our son feels part of a community and he truly enjoys going to school!
