Lansdowne Elementary

As a concerned parent, I strongly advise against enrolling your child in this school. Student safety is not prioritized here. Bullying is a recurring issue, and unfortunately, there are no effective consequences or interventions in place to address it. Incidents are swept under the rug, and parents are left in the dark without proper explanations or follow-up.The administration is unresponsive. Attempts to meet with the principal are ignored or deflected, making it nearly impossible for parents to voice concerns or advocate for their child. The lack of transparency and accountability is deeply troubling.Children deserve a safe, supportive learning environment. Sadly, this school fails to provide that. Until real changes are made in leadership and policy, I would not recommend this school to any family.

Our family has been part of Providence Day School for six years, and I can say without hesitation that it has been an exceptional experience for our children and for us as parents.What sets Providence Day apart is the balance it strikes between academic rigor and genuine care for the whole child. The teachers are highly skilled, deeply invested, and truly know their students as individuals. They challenge them academically while also supporting their social and emotional growth in meaningful ways.The curriculum is strong and thoughtfully designed, with opportunities for students to explore their interests in academics, the arts, athletics, and service. Communication between school and families is consistent and transparent, and the administration is approachable and responsive. You never feel like just a number here—there is a real sense of partnership between parents and the school.Equally important is the culture. Providence Day fosters kindness, integrity, and respect, while encouraging students to be confident, curious, and resilient. The community is welcoming and inclusive, and families are encouraged to be involved in ways that feel authentic and collaborative.After six years, we remain confident that we chose the right school. Providence Day has helped our children grow not only as students, but as people—and that is ultimately what matters most.

Charlotte Prep was the very first school our family ever attended, and it set the bar incredibly high. From the start, we felt so welcomed and supported. The teachers really care about the kids, not just academically but also as people, and that made such a difference for us.Our child grew so much here, both socially and academically, thanks to the small classes and nurturing environment. We always left with peace of mind knowing our child was safe, happy, and learning. Charlotte Prep gave us the perfect start, and we’ll always be grateful for that experience.
