Read what parents are saying about Thomas B. Chinn Elementary SchoolI blame the DISTRICT for my 3-star rating, not the people on the ground in the school. In the 2022-2023 school year, the fifth grade classrooms of Chinn are holding between 29-31 students per classroom. The district did not see the need to divide the 5th grade into 4 classrooms of 22-23 students each, and that has taken a toll on the students, the teachers, and the parents. The students have done the best they can, but have you seen how LARGE a 10-11 year old child is recently? Imagine 30, 5 foot tall, 100 pound people with newly changing hormones and not-fully-developed-prefrontal-cortexes, and you can imagine how difficult this is for everyone. The poor, exhausted teachers. The school is doing the best they can with what they've been given, but the DISTRICT is to blame for not solving this at the beginning of the complaints in the fall. Thank you to the staff, teachers, and administrators in the building for doing a great job with your hands tied. Keep up the great work.
Posted by a parent on 5/11/2023My girls love Chinn Elementary. I have 4 girls who are currently enrolled or are graduated. I have had a great experience with all the teachers and staff. I would highly recommend Chinn Elementry to anyone who ask.
Posted by a parent on 5/16/2018Incredible sense of community and excellent, caring teachers and staff. They work hard to make sure the kids receive that extra special attention that each one deserves. They make it a fun and exciting place to be.
Posted by a parent on 7/5/2010The best elementary school in the Park Hill School district! Alright I am biased but if your kids went to this school you would be too! Incredible sense of community and excellent, caring teachers and staff.

N/AGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy family LOVES Clay Platte Montessori! Our son is 4 and has been enrolled in primary for over a year now. Our daughter is 1 and in the toddler community. The guides in both classrooms are incredible. Our 1 year old is beyond excited every morning to go to school and is all smiles at drop off. Our 4 year old is learning and developing so much and so well. He's been in a handful of daycares prior to enrolling at Clay Platte Montessori and none can hold a candle to the love, acceptance, growth, and personalized attention we have received from this community. The guides are so kind and involved, the ratios are low, and the administrative staff is wonderful. We are so grateful to have found this community and hope to stay a part of it for the next 17 years!Parent Review5mo ago - Parkway Montessori
