This is the WORST SCHOOL I HAVE EVER ENCOUNTERED THE TEACHERS/FACULTY ARE THE MOST DISMISSIVE, DISCRIMINATORY, OFF PUTTING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE! They do not care about your child’s progression or their struggles. If you have children with special needs BEWARE BECAUSE THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YO
Posted by a parent on 1/13/2026The only serious issue we encountered at this school was bullying from several students, which began during the very first week of enrollment.As a result, my son became noticeably more irritable, somewhat aggressive, and came home extremely tired every day. This did not affect his academic performan
Posted by a parent on 1/9/2026My family has been through one administrative change. The staff and administration there last year were neglectful of student learning and interventions. Going into a new year with new teachers and administration has again been a headache and neglectful to student's needs. Rude and dismissive teache
Posted by a parent on 11/13/2025Principal is disgustingly and dismissive. She not only neglects the needs of her students but is also rude and disrespectful to the parents. There is ZERO communication with teachers and their phones don’t even work half of the time.
Posted by a parent on 11/7/2025I am disappointed with the lack of communication from this school regarding my child’s academic progress, despite multiple attempts to reach out to teachers.

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter joined this school 2 years ago, when she was at the first grade. She loves the teachers and the school itself. Very safe place.

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageGreatschools, stop taking down my reviews. I've been rewriting this review for years now. I am now documenting your censorship of the comments on this and other schools. By everyone's account in my family, Briarcliff was subjectively (and objectively in many ways) the worst educational experience we've ever encountered. The principal at the time (2017-2019) was the most duplicitous individual I've ever encountered and the teaching was very sub par.Parent Review1y ago - Cary Elementary

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis is a terrible School I do not recommend you to sign your kid up for this school it's a lady in the office who always have something slick to say something smart to say me being the bigger person I just ignore her the teachers make up lies about the kids and it seems like they don't remember what really goes on in the classrooms one minute they say this then the next minute they say that the principal does not know what he's doing he make up lies to the parents they try to take advantage over young parents and when the kids do get in trouble in the classroom they seem to not remember what they did when everything is documented in an app or they make up stuff days after a documented the stuff they did in the classroom in the app I do not recommend y'all kids to go to this schoolOther Review3w ago - Heartwood Montessori School
