Weatherstone Elementary School

Greatschools, 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.

This school has provided an outstanding experience for my child . The combination of a welcoming and supportive community, engaging and well-rounded curriculum, strong emphasis on social-emotional development, and a robust physical education program have all contributed to my child’s growth both academically and personally. The school’s commitment to clear communication and maintaining a safe, nurturing environment makes it an excellent choice for parents who value a balanced approach to education. I’m confident that Northwoods is setting a solid foundation for my child’s future success, and I highly recommend it to other families.

Best school in the area! Wonderful teachers and student body.

Very little support (in every capacity) for teachers and staff, poor pay, no benefits, and many teachers with Montessori training/credentials that can be described as dubious at best (if they have any at all). If, as a teacher or parent, you are looking for an authentic Montessori experience, look elsewhere.
